Many respiratory viruses have “long” symptoms. Covid is not even close to unique in that regard. Should we shut down everything and force little kids to wear masks for 8 hours a day for the annual flu?
Yes, if those other viruses are as contagious, widespread, and deadly as SARS-CoV-2.

Luckily, nothing else has reached that level. Yet.
