What doctors know about lingering symptoms of coronavirus.

With over 2 million cases in the U.S. since the coronavirus pandemic began in late December, there are now many people who have recovered from COVID-19. At the same, there have been reports of people who continue to have long-term side effects from the infection. I am a professor and physician and I specialize in infectious diseases of adults. I not only care for patients with bacterial, parasitic and viral infections - including COVID-19 – but actively teach and perform research into diseases that infectious pathogens cause.

Here I offer a summary of what is known today about recovering from COVID-19 – and where there are important gaps in our knowledge. Much of this information, which has been gleaned from studies that began after the 2003 SARS outbreak, is important for those recovering and their family and friends who should know what to anticipate.

I certainly don't fancy Pulmonary Fibrosis on top of Bronchiectasis. Read another article talking about what organs looked like on autopsy after Covid & lungs were not pretty 😔
