Here's actual research on long Covid: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/news/nihr-publishes-second-themed-review-on-long-covid/27232 https://www.nihr.ac.uk/news/nihr-publishes-second-themed-rev... > For those admitted to hospital, between 50-89% had at least one enduring symptom after two months. Of those not admitted to hospital, 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one month later and at least 10% three months later; > Long Covid appears to be more prevalent in women and in young people (including children) than might have been expected from acute Covid19 mortality; That's not "very low" and you shouldn't insert your own conclusions on unnamed resources.

Key phrase "For those admitted to hospital". It is very low compared to all infections.

  Key phrase, since we're talking about long Covid: > Of those not admitted to hospital, 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one month later and at least 10% three months later; Still, not "very low"...

  A friend of mine never went to a hospital. It's been four months, and he still can't smell anything. He's 25. People who haven't been hospitalized aren't likely to end up in these statistics, regardless of whether they have long-term problems or not. It's harder to study them.
