It’s actually higher than 0.25%. More like 1 in 5 out of ~1.8% (avg. prevalence among 17-34, with shootings >3 months), so 0.36%.
Some of those will be recent though, so those we shouldn’t expect to be reported in the news even if the news was taking everyone. 30%?
Some will retire not knowing it’s actually Long Covid and state other reasons. 50%?
That leaves like 6 people, which to me is sufficiently small that it can be missed by chance (eg. no top level players have gotten severe Long Covid).
I’m also wondering if heart failure is another outcome rather than Long Covid and disability. ME/CFS is a really strange disease where people can push through a lot, and only get the bill later. It’s not that people literally can’t run.
Regarding the studies: I agree that there’s a lot to be desired regarding symptom measurement (I think we’ll see better measurement in the future). But even the vague symptom descriptions are significantly higher in PCR-confirmed covid cases, so I don’t understand your worry.
Thanks for the clarity John!
