There's absolutely no idea what the long term effects are on those patients that have been unfortunate enough to get COVID. People are brushing it off like "well, they survived so it's all good!" but the fact is we have no idea what sort've complications it'll open them up to in the future. Just look at things like coal mining, asbestos etc. I'm not saying it's a direct comparison, but those are two things off the top of my head where people didn't think anything of it at the time as well.
Call me paranoid but I'd rather err on the side of caution.

To add to this, we're talking about a virus that:
1. literally no one is immune to
2. no available vaccine
3. no known treatment (still nothing standardized)
4. more than one strand now exists
5. infection does not provide immunity from other strand(s)
6. easily passed along to others if precautions are not taken
7. long term effects unknown (as mentioned above already)
How many more reasons do people need to avoid being infected?
