I think they need a better definition of what 'long covid' is .. and even in the article they even also refer to 'severe long covid'
.. and that these could get better after 7 months?
I know it took me about a year and a half to recover.. I guess that puts me in the 'long covid' group although I have never really been diagnosed as such.. probably just due to my age and ability to 'deal' with it. (compared to older people)
I imagine the numbers are probably higher than they suggest because I imagine most people who are sufferers are also just 'dealing' with it on their own.
- quartesixte 4y agoTo support this anecdatally, I had severe pneumonia Senior Year in High School. Absolutely wrecked my health and athletic ability for years — and I was an active runner and participant in various combat sports. Severe infections and diseases wreck your body in the same way a car crash or a serious athletic injury does. It leaves a mark on the body. Long Covid seems real enough and we should do more to find ways to combat it from onset — I am afraid the current sufferers might only find mitigations and not total solutions.
