I have an (extended) cousin now starting his fourth year after catching COVID, and he still has pretty debilitating issues, which affect his ability to work, for example. But that was the original strain of SARS-CoV-2019, with zero vaccines, so he got hit hard by the disease itself, and that may have also contributed to how long the symptoms are lasting for him.
