Why is this a relevant metric at all?

We don't know enough about long-term problems affecting those who caught it, although one glance at Boris Johnson should get anyone worried.

Convalescence is protracted, and there are reports of lung damage and cardiomyopathies in a good number of recovered patients. We don't know yet for certain about neurological problems, but there are indications that covid might cause demyelinating disease, and until that's settled I'm not going to find out.

He always looked disheveled. Has it gotten worse?

Agreed on he longterm effects, I don't think we know all of the longterm impacts yet and as such I'd prefer to avoid it until a safe vaccine is available.

Tired look, red eyes and zombie walking is not a uncommon effect after a new baby arrives at home.
