For much of Europe, the peak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 infections has passed.<br />But according to CNN, there are still thousands of people who had either confirmed or suspected cases of the novel coronavirus COVID-19.<br />Weeks or months later, many say they are far from fully recovered. And while data is incomplete, slow recovery seems to be hitting younger people the hardest.<br />Research indicates that COVID-19 is a multi-system disease that can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, brain and nervous system, skin, and GI tract.<br />Muscle weakness, memory problems, crashing fatigue and shortness of breath are the most common symptoms that linger following infection.<br />You almost get the impression that the younger, fitter individuals seem to be a bit more susceptible to long-term effects.
