“ In an analysis of almost 55,000 adult participants in three ongoing studies, having depression, anxiety, worry, perceived stress, or loneliness early in the pandemic, before SARS-CoV-2 infection, was associated with a 50% increased risk for developing long COVID”
- mikkergp 4y agoAccording to this article, rates of depression during COVID outbreak, were 27.5%. So, at least a decent chance this happens by chance? Also they mention worry, perceived stress and loneliness. Did anyone not perceive stress during the pandemic? 50% seems like a pretty low correlation.

- jjcon 4y agoNo, it was 50% off those that experienced that BEFORE covid - so it was controlled
- mikkergp 4y agoRight but 50% of people who had long COVID had experienced “worry, perceived stress, or loneliness” in the past ( not ti mention depression/anxiety) I’d expect that number to be much higher.
