Per https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/long-covid-much-more-t..., it sounds like long term physical and mental impacts can stay with people who get hospitalized by the flu. Why are you more worried about long COVID than persistent effects of diseases that have been around longer like the flu?

Perhaps it has about 10x the odds of causing severe post-viral syndrome than flu does, just as it has about 10x the mortality? We don't know much yet.
