It is no longer the acute symptoms one needs to worry about. This virus is like HIV/AIDS and will stay in your system long after you are "over it".
This is from 2 years ago, but was being discussed as early as 2020.
If you wanted a more "academic" perspective, this is a study on "Long COVID" from this year.
This tells us that Long COVID manifests as persistent symptoms far after an acute COVID infection and appears to be, in reality, a continued infection by COVID that doesn't go away, instead hanging out in various organs and constantly challenging your immune system -- despite vaccination. Hopefully I don't need another source to tell you why this is a bad thing.
