THat's not fiction, that's fact.
10 to 30% of people who get covid have long term symptoms. My experience is much higher

I knew 5 people who got covid
Person 1: Frank - Lung symptoms - Lasted nearly 12 months - Resolved when they go the vaccine
Person 2: Joe - Pilot who flies in same company as I do - Got covid in January - Double pneumonia, non-contagious, not resolving. Has little energy all the time
Person 3: Tamp - Airline pilot - Got it in January or February - Taste/smell only 50% back
Person 4: Helicopter instructor in PA - Got it last year, has chronic fatigue
Person 5: Paramedic - She resolved and has no lingering symptoms
Person 6: Flight nurse's wife - On a breating machine at home, more than 2 months after - otherwise healthy
These are people I personally know ...
