Are they though? The results follow a 2024 study led by Dr Mulu Woldegiorgis that surveyed 11,000 people from Western Australia three months after they contracted COVID-19. Almost one-in-five (18.2 per cent) had developed long COVID. The researchers then monitored the same group of people six months after their initial infection. “We wanted to get a sense of the trajectory for people with long COVID. After six months, the average number of symptoms remained stable, indicating little improvement,” she said. ~ https://www.anu.edu.au/news/all-news/more-than-half-of-long-covid-patients-still-showing-symptoms-after-six-months https://www.anu.edu.au/news/all-news/more-than-half-of-long-... and from that study: In multivariable analyses, pre-existing health conditions at the time of initial SARS-CoV-2 infection and reporting fatigue, shortness of breath, and cough 3 months post-infection were independent predictors of persistent long COVID. Age, sex, and number of COVID vaccinations were not significantly associated with persistent long COVID. ~ https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-infection/article/factors-associated-with-persistence-or-recovery-from-long-covid-6-months-postsarscov2-infection/FCCC46404097E5470DCD72D10107A29B https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-inf...
