We have scientific studies so you don't need to just go with whatever you imagine reality is. Long COVID isn't necessarily a life altering debilitation, it's symptoms lasting 3 or more months. Often they clear up, but sometimes they don't.

I was thinking about a particular study which identifies why some people seem to get long term effects and others don't. To my knowledge - and from a quick search - that doesn't seem to exist.

The people who have experienced long-term effects are extremely vocal online but it’s hard to imagine that it is as common as 1 in 10 given how many people have had covid.

I was responding to this.

With regards to that I'd be interested in a meta-analysis similar to this one which manages to account for symptomless, or mild symptom, cases somehow.
