    The people who have experienced long-term effects are extremely vocal online but it’s hard to imagine that it is as common as 1 in 10 given how many people have had covid.

    I am extremely curious to see if they find a genotype or something which is an indicator for people being vulnerable to long-covid. It’s possible that it will end up being a similar situation for ME/CFS where we have no specific biological markers which differentiate people who suffer from it (aside from the symptoms).

      We have scientific studies so you don’t need to just go with whatever you imagine reality is. Long COVID isn’t necessarily a life altering debilitation, it’s symptoms lasting 3 or more months. Often they clear up, but sometimes they don’t.

        I was thinking about a particular study which identifies why some people seem to get long term effects and others don’t. To my knowledge - and from a quick search - that doesn’t seem to exist.

          I was responding to this.

            With regards to that I’d be interested in a meta-analysis similar to this one which manages to account for symptomless, or mild symptom, cases somehow.
