"...during the COVID-19 pandemic, *self-reported COVID-19* infection was associated *with most persistent physical symptoms*, whereas *laboratory-confirmed* COVID-19 infection was associated *only with anosmia*. ..."
They all have been infected, but the ones self reported experienced much more symptoms of COVID infections that were longer persistent as with the other's, who had intentionally/unintentionally a positive lab test as their first confirmation of infection. That group experienced just anosmia.
- CryptoPunk 5y agoIt looks like they looked at both infected and not infected individuals: >>The crude prevalence of persistent physical symptoms was first calculated for 4 groups of participants according to both belief (ie, self-reported COVID-19 infection) and serology test results: belief negative and serology negative; belief positive and serology negative; belief negative and serology positive; and belief positive and serology positive.
