The article’s first graphic is from a randomized 60-day follow-up. It shows fatigue and breathlessness for 50% and chest pain at around 20%.
This is among diagnosed patients, not those self-selecting to seek to seek treatment for their ongoing problems. It’s possible that some bias is introduced by people who are now completely fine being less likely to cooperate. But I doubt that any durch effect would make more than marginal differences.
It also ignores everyone who did not get tested, either because they did not have symptoms, because they just assumed they had it, or who couldn’t get tested (Italy in March was...busy).
- zby 6y agoThat is strange - because the numbers would be compatible with the Der Spiegel stats (from comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23888175 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23888175) if it was only about those who report the persistent symptoms. Also 10% sounds more plausible - if it was 50% of all diagnosed Covid survivors than for sure this would be reported earlier.
