The Lancet: One in two hospitalized COVID-19 patients develop a complication

https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-07/tl-tlo071421.php

Study is most comprehensive of its kind and included more than 70,000 adults in the UK hospitalised with severe COVID-19 disease. Of these, half (36,367 of 73,197) developed one or more health complication during their hospitalisation.
Most common complications included renal, complex respiratory, and systemic complications, but cardiovascular, neurological, and gastrointestinal and liver complications were also reported.
The study found high rates of complications across all age groups. Men and those aged older than 60 years were most likely affected, but complications and poor functional outcomes were common, even in younger, previously healthy adults.
The authors note that complication rates following COVID-19 are high, and these complications often affect people's ability to look after themselves. They warn that this may cause a substantial strain on health and social care in the coming years.

Looks like the safety net that covid pro-trumpers don't want will support those bums for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of it as a really, really bad flu is the wrong way to look at it. Many people who recover will never be truly well again.

Truth is that they never recover completely and can expect serious problems ahead
