Oh, I don't doubt that some people stay sick for a longish time. But that's not nearly the same as 1/5 of the population never recovering.

- lkbm 4y agoThis article isn't about "eternal COVID" or "never recovering". It's about some symptom existing 4+ weeks post-infection. For some people, that means months. For others, it could be a single month. Maybe for some it's the rest of their lives, but this article makes no claims to that effect.
- swatcoder 4y ago> 1/5 of the population never recovering. When you see an article saying that, please share it! So much of the stuff I see just seems to discuss a post-viral syndrome that lingers for quite a bit longer than the acute infection, which is a phenomenon we recognize from other serious viral infections but haven’t historically invested a lot in studying. This “never recovers” thing you talk about would be fascinating, especially with us only being a couple years into the disease circulating. I’d love to read the science behind that. You have any specific articles you remember?
