8500 recorded cases may not sound like much (for one possible diagnostic code of a few choices), but that's 0.1% of the population, and about half the number of people who died in Sweden. That's a pretty substantial amount of increased disability, especially if the risk of long COVID on each infection is close to independent (e.g. we keep accumulating people with long term effects at this kind of rate).
I have a family member affected; went from highly active to completely intolerant of exercise in her early 20's. Walking half a mile wipes her out for a few days.
