Just one person but i was an early case (family member went to Wuhan 1-2 times each month. During the firsr year of COVID, as early as march of 2020, i had serious issues with gut and hearth inflamation - repeated bouts that started as back pain, became chest pain, elevated heart-rate to 150 for ~3 days at a time, 24 hours a day. Gradyally the episodes became less frequent leading up to a stroke type event co current with a presumed second bout of covid. Was forced back to work about a week after the issue, and the only other coworker who was near me contracted covid about 10 days later.

Following the Stroke type event I lost virtually all of my talent at writing, And ultimately my job, which was very humbling. Ive spent the past year working gig jobs when i can, and fortunately all long covid symptoms have gone away. I feel like my brain is close to 100% but i lack the confidence in myself, my memory, and my writing and am constantly second guessing myself and assume im wrong if in a contested discussion. It really sucks, yet im probably one of the lucky ones
