Long Covid. It's not just death and hospitalisations. From The Lancet:
"Patients with Long COVID report prolonged, multisystem involvement and significant disability. By seven months, many patients have not yet recovered (mainly from systemic and neurological/cognitive symptoms), have not returned to previous levels of work, and continue to experience significant symptom burden."

Frankly we don't really know how bad the long term effects will be for even those with "mild" illness.
