This is not a scientific poll, however, in speaking to basically strangers who have suffered contracting the virus and lived, state they are grateful to be alive. They state they know other people they know, on a spectrum of friend to family, that did not survive the virus. The most common symptom after recovering from SARS-Cov-2 is chronic pain that feels like arthritis.
I believe this pain is neurological and not much musculoskeletal. I believe anti-inflammatories during and after recovery may lessen the pain. Anti-inflammatories as simple as aspirin or ibuprofen should be followed in a trial of these people. The problem being GI and kidney problems over the short and long term.
Some of these people were receiving physical therapy and state they still have the pain.
The post virus attack should be treated vigorously to return function and comfort to its victims.
Eliminating SARS-Cov-2 from the face of Earth should be a high priority and refusal to accept the concept of “permanent endemic” at every turn.
This new strain of the virus effects children and spreads easily. That strain must be ended as well to prevent a generation of cripples.
