Reply to comment by [deleted] in 10% of patients infected early in the pandemic still had symptoms 1 year later. Common long COVID symptoms were shortness of breath (26.5%), joint pain (26.9%), loss of smell or taste (27.0%), impaired attention or concentration (22.3%), memory loss (40.0%), and sleep disorders (36.6%) by Wagamaga

These issues have been happening before, post viral illness isn't unknown, but it was never in such bulk at once, and Covid seems to have especially high rates of occurance. There are many like me who "never recovered" from a virus and got told they have Fibro, ME/CFS, PoTS and other Dysautomnia, and many whose doctors are loathe to give them these diagnoses too.

Its a bit of both in reality.
