One day you feel ok, next day so tired and achy you don't even want to get out of bed.

I just wonder what the long term effects will be.

One of the gals in my wife's Blue Star Moms group has had it for 6 months. She is 50, used to work out 5 days a week, and ran marathons. Now she has 30% lung function, serious voice box damage, and is really f-ed up. Doctors say the damage is permanent. She was never hospitalized. So sad.

Sounds similar to another friend. He had it beginning of November with a bit of fever and the usual loss of smell/taste, technically "recovered" around the end of November, but even now has issues like you just described.
