I wonder particularly if any of the medically qualified amongst us know anything about this?
Covid-19 is deeply nasty, we know that. There are developing stories circulating about *some* people who have suffered and recovered, actually not making a full recovery but suffering longer term medical complications. There also seems significant evidence that a lot of people have been infected, asymptomatic, but possibly suffering internal damage not *immediately* detected?
Are we potentially going to see a glut going forward of pilots (and perhaps some other health critical professions ) failing medicals as a result of long term effects created by Covid-19?
There are a few articles out there indicating a lot of people suffering ill health through the 1920s and 1930s (for example: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/cgi-b ... %2F507154&)- and possibly longer, as a result of long term impact of Spanish Flu. That would tend to support my hypothesis (but I freely admit that right now, it is a totally unproven hypothesis).
