c19 has a short term effect but not discussed is LONG c19, which in your body can attack varied organs over time. Unlike many virus, that only attack a specific organ, this seems to vary by person. In on person it may go for the lungs and in another it may go for the heart. If you have had any form of the virus you may be harboring a long term time bomb.

Even if young be sure to get a thorough physical exam at least once a year to be safe. This is in the same family as the Spanish Flu and they are now finding a large global die off after about 10 years after folks were diagnosed with Spanish Flu and survived.

FWIW, many since c19 started have been diagnosed with pneumonia or COPD or BOOP, but it may be masking heart issues. If you experience any of these symptoms take the extra step and have your heart checked as if caught early the damage will be lessened.
