All cases which I know personally which didn't had asymptotic COVID took multiple month to _fully_ recover.
That doesn't mean they hadn't recovered enough to work or socialize a bit again after much less time. But they still had problems like for example bouts of weakness well over a month later.
This kind of long term Symptoms aren't that rare for more serve virus infections in general. They are unusual common with COVID but other viruses can cause that, too. It's just that many societies force people to treat this as if they are fine and power through it, maybe by using non-prescription drugs. While I hadn't(1) had COVID yet I went through similar situations twice in my live in the past. Strong virus infection, fast "recovery" to a point I could go back to school but slightly over a month until I was actually fully recovered with funny experiences like nearly passing out when doing sport in a amount which I had been trivially able to do before the virus infection.
(1): At least no positive test.
Anyway the point I want to make is:
- fully recovered can mean many things
- it's not a fundamentally new thing
- but due to high covid rates and being relatively more likely with covid, it has become a problem.
- It's a problem even if the number is much less then half depending on the definitions you use for fully recovered and of what you take half.
