Look at the death rates for people under 45...it's like 1 in 10,000. In some cities and for certain age brackets, you're more likely to be murdered or commit suicide than to die from Covid. The car accident fatality rate is roughly 1 in 10,000.
It's long term physical damage even if you survive.
How many people will have permanent problems (despite surviving) due to covid-19 is still unknown AFAIK.
For a forum that loves to call out anecdotal bias all the time, when it comes to Covid, everyone here jumps on the fear bandwagon of the news and on really poorly done studies with only a few dozen participants or epidemiologies.
You should watch a more diverse media, then, because there are more than a few fabulously fit people who are no longer able to compete, or even continue, their sport.
