Does this imply that the risk decreases with time as the body recovers? Or is the elevated risk permanent?
- Fomite 5y agoRisk decreases over time, but the distribution of time-until-recovery is longer than one might hope.
- NinjaViking 5y agoIt can also mean that the people who were at the highest risk didn't live for a year, so the statistical risk is reduced for the remaining population.
