Long-Covid

 I noticed off N-24 news today an interesting Covid story.  An insurance group here in Germany....Techniker Krankenkasse...did the numbers and found that if you had 'long-Covid'.....you were out from work about 105 days (on average).

So, when the infection went away.....your weak state of 'being' started up and you were missing around 3 months of work. 

ARD (public TV) picked up the topic, and stated an added fact.  They say that a fair number of people didn't show up in the statistical data, and the numbers might be greater.  

The common theme if you had long-Covid?  Extreme run-down nature, severe exhaustion, inability to full concentrate, never getting a full breath, and some type of muscle/joint pain. 

What I do relate in some way?  I had pneumonia as a kid, and these problems occurred after that bout....for probably about six weeks.
