Is anyone still recovering from COVID after 3+ years? If it's not permanent is it still to be considered a brain "injury"?

Yes.

Thousands of people in the US are bedridden with long Covid.

They caught Covid, something went really, really, wrong, and they never got out of bed. They cannot bathe or feed or take care of themselves at all. Some need to be fitted with pacemakers because their hearts are unable to regulate themselves.

That's a fate worse than death. Mortality stats for COVID don't cover that.
