Every COVID infection causes some amount of damage, it's the amount and location that matters.

Around 30% of victims will notice lingering symptoms for a few months.
Around 6% will later be hit with more severe and possibly disabling symptoms.

Be on the lookout for this, hopefully you'll be in the lucky majority - but you really need to
avoid more reinfections - it's not a lottery you want to gamble with.
