For many patients, COVID left an impact. About 35% of those who recover from the disease suffer tough after-effects. They complain about hair loss, loss of vision, joint pain, fatigue, even heart attack. In the US, they call these people post-COVID «long haulers». These individuals lost their normal lives and are trying to cope with a new reality. Some say recovery from COVID is far more difficult than battling the virus itself. Scientists and doctors are beginning to explore which after-effects are COVID-related and which are not. Meanwhile, former COVID patients have created an online community where they share their pains and describe the after-effects of the illness. They hope their findings will help doctors to document all the side effects and offer patients better treatment.
