Some of the longer term effects are scary though - I suspect that younger people might not be so blasé about chronic illness.

At minimum younger people who have had covid are looking at a lot more regular check-ups for the rest of there life.

There's not a single peer-reviewed study showing a significantly higher frequency of long-term adverse effects in healthy individuals compared to other respiratory illnesses.

There's initial results that indicate that its likely - you wont get hard data for another decade plus - but take it from me you don't want to get CKD or similar organ damage.
