If that bothers you, replace it with "Having one or both parents spend the rest of their children's lives in graves isn't exactly great for kids either."

The CDC disagrees with your opinion. From the CDC's "Long-Term Effects of COVID-19" article[1]:
> The most commonly reported long-term symptoms include:
> Fatigue, Shortness of breath, Cough, Joint pain, Chest pain
> Other reported long-term symptoms include:
> Difficulty with thinking and concentration (sometimes referred to as “brain fog”), Depression, Muscle pain, Headache, Intermittent fever, Fast-beating or pounding heart (also known as heart palpitations)
> More serious long-term complications appear to be less common but have been reported. These have been noted to affect different organ systems in the body. These include:
> Cardiovascular: inflammation of the heart muscle
> Respiratory: lung function abnormalities
> Renal: acute kidney injury
> Dermatologic: rash, hair loss
> Neurological: smell and taste problems, sleep issues, difficulty with concentration, memory problems
> Psychiatric: depression, anxiety, changes in mood
Much like it is literally impossible to prove antibodies for COVID-19 last for greater than a year, because the illness has not been around long enough to prove such a thing, it is also impossible to prove COVID-19 symptoms can last greater than a year.
