Long Covid in children 'nowhere near scale feared'

  > The research suggests somewhere between 2% and 14% still had symptoms caused by Covid 15 weeks later. That's an awful wide spread, and even the lower bound - let alone the upper - still seems kinda worrying; anywhere from 1 in 50 to 7 in 50 kids having long-term symptoms still seems like kind of a big deal. > The study, which has yet to be published in a medical journal That seems like a bit of a red flag. Hasn't completed peer review yet. Ain't it a bit early to be reporting this with such an authoritative and definitive headline despite the relevant study clearly being far from validated and replicated?
