I read this in the Times Covid news: "Long-term Covid-19 symptoms after hospital treatment are more common in women, the middle-aged and white patients, according to the Phosp-Covid study. The study, led by the National Institute for Health Research Leicester Biomedical Research Centre, looked at just over 1,000 patients sent to hospital in the first wave."
I also read tinnitus can be an after effect of covid19. I have a bit of the hearing issues and never had C19. Gotta love this year.
The 20 symptoms of COVID-19 to watch out forMarch 18, 2021
A year ago we knew little about the new viral disease that was sweeping the world, which quickly became known as COVID-19.
At first, it looked like the main symptoms of coronavirus infection were a high temperature and a persistent cough. But it soon became clear that there was more to COVID than cough and fever.
Thanks to the millions of daily health reports logged by 4+ million contributors to the ZOE COVID Symptom Study, we now know that there are more than 20 different symptoms of the disease.
Of course, having one or more of these symptoms does not mean it’s definitely due to COVID-19, as they can also occur with other illnesses. However, these symptoms have been reported more often by people who have a positive test than those testing negative.
Here’s a list of the symptoms we know about so far. Follow the links to find out more about what each symptom is like, how common it is, and what other symptoms you’re likely to experience alongside it:
1. High temperature (fever)

A virus that has it all (except no one wants it).
Certainly does...although some still believe it doesn't exist!
That gets up my nose every time I read it. I also say (aloud) "I hope you get the virus". (I'd give it to a lot of rheumies too).👿😈
Sounds like PMR and side effects of pred!!
