There’s also no consistent definition so when you’re trying to pump up the numbers a headache is long COVID, but when you want to make it look severe long COVID is debilitating lack of energy, no taste for a year etc. So the image being cast is ‘1 in every 10 infections results in disaster’ which obviously is overblown, a large majority of people have been infected once or multiple times and not 10% of the population is suffering from debilitating long COVID.
