Covid is a new disease. Will it have long term effects?

There are already articles of people who have recovered that will have to take anti-coagulants for the rest of their life.

Chickenpox -> shingles is another example.

This one is. Colds seem to be inconsequential (although there are questions about ME). SARS and MERS are rare and were either very deadly or very life altering. Covid seems to fall in the middle. Hopefully the long term effects for the majority will be similar to colds.

No human vaccines have ever been tested for any coronavirus.
