I'm certainly not "brilliant", but what's hard to understand? Whether bacteria or viruses, disease organisms attack and damage healthy tissue. Wherever they "land" and attack is damaged and whatever function is impaired. Some damage from Covid, e.g. loss of sense of smell, may take a few weeks or months to heal and be restored. Lung or heart damage may last longer or be permanent. It took several weeks for my sense of smell to return to normal, and a couple of months for my lungs to clear of the effects of the pneumonia; my daughter's sense of taste was not normal for several months (though she did not mind not being able to taste cilantro, as she's one of those to whom it tastes like soap).
