I'm more concerned about short COVID at the moment can we sort that out first.
Long COVID is a relative term and covers all people that may have symptoms longer than the expected 2 weeks.
and they estimate 1 in 7 that have symptomatic COVID may experience symptoms for 4 weeks, or 1 in 20 for 8 weeks, or 1 in 45 for 12 weeks or more. it affects 10% of 18-49 years olds rising to 22% in the over 70's and is much more likely to affect you if you are obese.
Many people get over it (as above only 5% of those that are symptomatic have it longer than 12 weeks) and as the virius has only been around 14months those that still have issues it is unknown how long is long or how chronic the syndrome will continue to be................and at least they haven't died from it.
So, I'm not ignoring it, but neither am I going to over egg it either.
