There have been 10 million confirmed cases and probably 10x that many infections with very few reports of longer term adverse impacts.

Long term effects can take a long time to show up. We don't know what they might be.

Of course this is a case where no long term effects are something we are only sure of after currently young people die of old age.

What long term? This disease has existed for about 6 months in the public eye (and a bit longer now that there are cases in Europe being found from October/November) how can you even consider talking about long term effects when we haven't yet lived through the time it can be considered "long term".

Or do you work with the concept "long term = next quarter"?
