Maybe because everybody who has relatives over 50 knows somebody with Long Covid--probably multiple people.
What I don't believe is that this kind of syndrome is specific to Covid, I suspect it holds for every serious virus you get infected with. The only difference this time is that the medical community is watching.
The fact that Epstein-Barr is causative with MS and HPV is causative with cervical cancer shows that the damage that even fairly mild virii do persists for a very long time.
Any claim that a virus doesn't cause persistent damage simply means you haven't looked very hard.
- tssva 4y agoI am 54 and have living parents, aunts, uncles and cousins which are significantly older. The majority of my friends are over 50. I don't know anyone with long COVID.

- TexanFeller 4y ago> Maybe because everybody who has relatives over 50 knows somebody with Long Covid--probably multiple people. Of the dozens of people in my extended family that are 50+yo, few of whom were covid cautious, zero of them have reported symptoms resembling long covid. My parents are elderly as are all of the people they know. Zero of their friends have reported long covid, but they did know a couple of folks that died of it.
