Recent study of recovered Korean Covid patients shows 90%+ experienced at least one side effect

I think there really needs to be a better study with more information before we can really say this is the level of long lasting effects we can expect. We also need more quantitative descriptions of the side effects rather than qualitative ones.

This can be added to all the unknowns surrounding this virus. Even many of those who haven't contracted this virus are experiencing problems with depression, and loneliness, etc., from the need to stay home, and avoid others. Then, when/if a workable vaccine is available, there will probably be a list of side effects from whatever drug is used.

Don stated; "Then, when/if a workable vaccine is available, there will probably be a list of side effects from whatever drug is used. "

He's correct and why shouldn't we expect this? Small parts of the human population are allergic to many things that don't trouble the rest of us. My wife is allergic to sulphur (including medicines containing it). She and her docs work around this problem but should we ban it's use for the great majority of us whom it helps without problems?

I'm sure that some will have side effects from using a new and untried vaccine but would it be better to attempt no cure as some seem to suggest, declaring that this virus isn't really that bad?
Maybe after the election we will be able to have a more reasoned discussion rather than pandering to political views as seems to be happening today.

@asp3, this is among the most terrifying aspects of this virus. It doesn't simply make people sick, then vamoose.
