This submission uses a different headline from the article (unless the article is A/Bing it), and is subtly misleading. Saying that 75% of long haulers are free of symptoms after a year, implies that you are looking at only the subset of patients who developed long-term symptoms to begin with. However, the study is showing that 75% of all COVID cases are free of symptoms after 12 months, meaning 25% of people have long-haul cases. That is worse news that the rewritten headline would suggest.
- xboxnolifes 4y ago1 in 4 also seems really high. In my sphere, I know a few dozen people who have gotten COVID. Yet, I know of maybe 3 people who have had symptoms exceed a few weeks, all of which lasted many months. Though, the 3 I know of because they have/had the obvious lack of taste. Maybe more don't notice that also have other issues.
