This is interesting, and not implausible.  It's clear we haven't fully reckoned with the health and economic implications of Long Covid symptoms.   I commend again to readers philosopher Eric Schliesser's account of his experience.  I know another philosopher in his early 60s who more than six months later still can't concentrate enough to do writing.  I know another in his 30s who was afflicted with such severe vertigo he was unable to teach for a period of time.  I have had briefer exchanges with other philosophers suffering long-term effects, even though the majority of academics I know who have had Covid are fully recovered.  But even in my limited "circle" of academics afflicted with Covid, those with lingering effects, some serious, is about 10%.  Over an entire population that's a public health crisis, not just an individual tragedy.  If others want to share their experiences, that might be beneficial for others, as Professor Schliesser's account has been.   Please use a real email, but you need not use your real name.
