- TheOtherHobbes 6y agoSome of you will still get Long Covid, which may leave you with permanent breathing issues and other health problems. The biggest lie is that if you're under 30 you're immune. You're not - not even slightly. You're far less likely to die than someone who is 85 and obese with diabetes and high blood pressure. But no one knows what the long term health implications are for younger people who make a partial recovery. And there's been a non-negligible number of those.
- hknapp 6y agoThis is interesting. What are the stats (percentages) on those who get "Long Covid" by age group?
- renaudg 6y agoI don't have the age breakdown but serious/long Covid is about 15% of cases, which is potentially millions of people in most countries if we let the epidemic rip through. Symptoms include mental fog, loss of concentration, extreme fatigue, loss of smell.. This is why the idea of chasing herd immunity without a vaccine has always been misguided
- leesalminen 6y agoYou seem to be combining “serious” and “long” cases together. We already know that the vast majority of “serious” cases occur in the elderly/sickly, so your statistic of 15% is useless FUD.
- morlockabove 6y agoGiven the rates, though, it basically seems worth the risk if the alternative is to lose a year of say, your 20's. You have to weigh up the expectation costs in quality-adjusted life years, with associated error bars.
