At least 15 percent of people end up with long covid. And that's the ones who go to the doctor with it. Last Christmas everyone I talked to "didn't have long covid, but..." They could no longer do anything without getting out of breath. Or they kept forgetting things. Or they could only clean the house for 10 minutes when they used to be able to clean all day.
And then there's the diabetes, autoimmune disease, heart disease, dementia... All things you can end up with thanks to covid. And none of this is rare.
....15% of everyone who gets covid gets long covid? I'd like a link to this.
