1. It did so out of a very small sample of patients compared to this new coronavirus.

2. Sars Cov-1 was also a much deadlier virus overall based on its own case percentages, so not all of its traits might translate equally to the outcomes of this new virus.

In either case, as I said in my comment above, self-reported anecdotes are at extreme risk of being heavily biased. So if what the parent comment describes really is significant at all, there should soon be at least some proper clinical evidence of it. Right now COVID-19 is probably the single most heavily researched illness on Earth, so it's not unreasonable to expect this kind of evidence.

With all due respect, the research that is being done is focused on treating active, severe cases. Doctors and researchers are only beginning to focus on the virus's aftermath. So please don't make assumptions about the prevalence of post-viral syndromes related to COVID-19. As someone who is suffering from CFS-like symptoms, I'm finding dismissiveness like yours to be infuriating, especially because your dismissiveness has been echoed by my own doctors. How many people reporting these symptoms are being ignored?
