> Is anyone still recovering from COVID after 3+ years?

Yes.

Thousands of people in the US are bedridden with long Covid.

They caught Covid, something went really, really, wrong, and they never got out of bed. They cannot bathe or feed or take care of themselves at all. Some need to be fitted with pacemakers because their hearts are unable to regulate themselves.

I'm not that bad off, thankfully, but I'm certainly still worse off from having caught original strain of COVID, pre-vaccine. Stats that only look at the mortality rates for the disease don't show that there are fates worse than death because it's so much harder to measure. I'm grateful for the days I do get, but sometimes it's hard.

That's a fate worse than death. Mortality stats for COVID don't cover that.
