Covid-19 is a scary disease. There are a number of unhappy possible outcomes of an infection.
- Severe cases can lead to a lengthy hospital stay, if you are lucky enough to live in a place where hospitals are not overwhelmed with large numbers of Covid-19 patients.
- You might require intubation in order to breathe. This is no picnic, but it could save your life.
- You could suffer painful inflammation of your lungs
- You could suffer the persistence of symptoms, the dreaded “long Covid”.
- You could die.
