> I think covid has maybe a 10-20% chance of leaving a large portion of the population partially disabled I struggle to understand why people believe this. Every person I’ve met has had covid at this point, and I’ve never met anyone with any kind of disability from it. When you look at the randomized control studies, long covid (excluding those intubated) basically doesn’t exist.

> Every person I’ve met has had covid at this point I know a half-dozen people who have long covid at a level it impacts daily life. I believe all were immunized before. For myself, I definitely have reduced lung capacity (e.g. how far I can swim underwater is significantly reduced). I'm not an athlete and it doesn't matter, but if every time I catch covid reduces this by a similar amount, it definitely will add up to where it does matter. > When you look at the randomized control studies, long covid (excluding those intubated) basically doesn’t exist. References? We must be reading different studies. As a footnote, there's no such thing as a "randomized control study" here (unless we were willing to intentionally randomly infect people with covid), which suggests you might not be qualified to read studies.... Most studies I see show long covid in the low double-digit percent range. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9978692/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9978692/ has a nice reference trail.

  You can’t post an article like this “ 1645 articles were screened but no randomised controlled trials were found. 16 observational studies from five countries (USA, UK, France, Italy, and the Netherlands) were identified that reported on 614 392 patients” and say “ which suggests you might not be qualified to read studies....” Without expecting derision and mockery to follow.

    I apologize. I was wrong in implying that you can't just read scientific studies. You're not qualified to read or write basic English, and appear to have about the reasoning power of GPT2. You claimed "When you look at the randomized control studies, long covid (excluding those intubated) basically doesn’t exist." I pointed out RCTs don't exist. You post a quote backing up my claim, with "derision and mockery." I am done here. I expect more derision and mockery, but I would strongly suggest a middle school level remedial class in basic source-based writing.
