These patients *didn’t die* from COVID but had high rates of critical illness (including permanent health problems) and prolonged hospitalizations. Decidedly not good. https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/05/26/long-hospital-stays-high-rates-of-icu-admission-for-u-s-covid-19-patients/
These kids *didn’t die* from COVID but got horribly sick just from their immune response to the disease, well after the initial illness. Some of them actually did die from this - their own immune response - and not from the virus itself. https://www.nytimes.com/article/kawasaki-disease-coronavirus-children.html
These people *aren’t dying* from COVID, but healthy people as young as their 20s are having massively debilitating strokes from COVID, including a 27 year old w/ no prior medical problems who is now in prolonged rehabilitation just to relearn how to walk. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/14/health/coronavirus-strokes.html
More than 1/3 of infected patients who *don’t die* have been noted to have damage to their kidneys, many times causing complete kidney failure requiring dialysis, and in many cases the damage has been long term (possibly permanent). https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/health/kidney-dialysis-coronavirus.html
