Years ago, I realized I was forgetting more than I recalled about the many studies I read that found #COVID19 was NOT just a mild, acute illness but led to chronic health problems. So, I created a spreadsheet to track these studies. Over the last two years or so, I've read significant parts of over 1,500 research studies, and my spreadsheet is approaching 525 reports that demonstrate COVID leaves people with damage to brains, hearts, immune systems, reproductive systems, and other organs. (1/5)

@augieray thank you for sharing this, I will - at some point - manage to take a proper look.

From the briefest of looks the results generally look concerning, have any of the 1500 studies concluded that the "it's just a cold" hypothesis is valid?

@SonOfSunTzu I've seen some studies that suggest lesser or more temporary impacts, but 1) Most studies suggest COVID has longer-term adverse affects, and 2) No studies suggest COVID is only a cold. There was a lot of press recently about an unpublished study claiming COVID outcomes were worst for severe flu than severe COVID, but those who've seen that study point to all sorts of biases (such as that the study only evaluated hospitalized patients and ignored Long COVID damage.)
