study results seem to suggest about one in five to one in four people experiences long covid and further: Shruti Mehta, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Looking at people who report they are not able to function in life, we’ve seen about 3 to 5 percent, which is still a large number.[..]My bottom line is, with a potential cost of $2.6 trillion, that’s so big that there’s nothing, no preventive action, that wouldn’t be worth doing to reduce the burden of long-Covid,” Cutler said.” So I think one in ten being quite seriously affected is about in the right ballpark, if not too conservative. https://observer.com/2022/05/long-covid-will-have-a-massive-impact-on-the-u-s-economy/ https://observer.com/2022/05/long-covid-will-have-a-massive-...
