How would you even know? In most cases, COVID-19 was little more than a flu.
_Some_ people got seriously hurt by it, but most had existing health troubles.
Most people got seriously injured by the "vaccine," not the virus.

When it first crossed species, it caused blood clots, a runaway
immune system response that filled the lungs with fluid, and it
drowned people. Some people needed lung transplants, because
of the holes eaten in the lungs and the poor condition of
the lung tissue. That's a pretty significant difference compared
to the flu. That's like comparing the symptoms of Ebola to the flu,
a stark difference.

Some COVID patients ended up on ECMO, which allows you to drown on
fluids, yet the heart/lung machine oxygenates for you. But that is
very stressful for the patient, and it takes a long time to recover
from the time spent on ECMO (sedated). When you're in the room,
six people have to come into the room, lift and turn you multiple times
per day.

After thousands and thousands of mutations, the dominant strains
have changed characteristics. The current strain has the same
sort of intensity as the flu.

Young people who were less affected, they got "COVID toe", which
is blood clots in the lower legs. Human blood circulation in the
legs, is a rather strange design, and it's not a surprise that
a clot would form there.

The research I want to hear about, is there were a couple articles
about people who are immune to SARS, MERS, and COVID. There are
a small number of people, where even their blood, if diluted 10^4
or so, the plasma is able to reduce the viral load in the blood
stream to zero. (Convalescent plasma is not considered a good
treatment in this case, and that was just an experiment to
evaluate how good the immune response was.)
