There has been discussion on how people who had COVID may experience long term term effects or be compromised health wise moving forward. (like getting pneumonia) This may be a silly question, but are those question marks/fears only for these had a debilitating bout of COVID?

If you got COVID but were asymptomatic with 0 symptoms, as if you were never sick, is there still any fear of future complications by the virtue of simply getting it?

Ok I guess my natural follow-up to that is if there's any data showing long term effects of people who got asymptomatic COVID after being vaccinated. I imagine its probably too early to find that out.

Yeah, still pretty early on that.

I would still expect there to be much less due to lower viral loads though, but we still have to wait and see what the data shows.

I suppose its not "asymptomatic", but my younger brother got Covid back in november after realizing he hAd lost his taste and smell. Only symptom he had throughout his quarantine. After 9 months, he still doesnt have it back.

I saw this happen with multiple nurses. Not quite 9 months, but months and months with no smell or taste. The good news is- Delta doesn’t seem to come with this symptom (or at least it isn’t very common); according to the UK symptom tracker.
