Grave statements like this with little supporting data that are accepted as gospel are exactly what I'm talking about. The reality is that there is no substantial evidence to suggest that this virus has serious long-term implications for the majority of people who get infected.
Could there still be long-term consequences we don't know about? Sure, but until there's data demonstrating such, it's incredibly disingenuous to state this as commonplace or fact just because a tiny minority of outliers experienced them.
It's almost like people are exaggerating the truth to rationalize the drastic lockdown measures being undertaken.
First of all, the main, if not the only reason for lockdowns is extremely short-term need to curb the infection spread, to stop the hospitals from being overflown. It is still interesting that after a year of pandemic, lots of people do not realize this. Second, you are not a medical scientist, are you? 1% of people who got infected suffer from grave consequences. Even if only 1% survivors will have long-term problems with health, this is already burden of 2 000 000 sick people just in United States. Now, SARS-1 (which is closely related to SARS-2) is known to cause serious side effects. This thing is less severe, obviously than SARS-1, but no one really did any large scale follow-up. I get it you hate lockdowns, you want life "as normal", but at least you need be honest about, not trying to paint everyone as stupid coward simpletons, to justify your inner motivations.
