That's why I mentioned that the studies were on Asians - I wouldn't be suprised if the figures of US would be several times higher.BaronVerde wrote: ↑Wed, 14.

What's important, contrary to your claims it states that severe Long COVID does show up in 10-15% of all cases, and 5% of all cases have critical symptoms, affecting the function of lung, heart or nervous system, possibly disabling the person.
Edit: Please note that I pointed out frequent mismanagement of the numbers between case total and hospitalized (hospitalized are fracture of all case total, so 30% of hospitalized is still a fracture of total recovered).
By complaining about media I refer to the Long COVID and SARS impact on case of total recovered, while most of media and articles seems to focus on percentage among hospitalized.
I'm quite sure we would come to swift agreement, if bloody media would actually pay attention to proper figure alingment and standarization.
See the section "In severe cases":
Around 10–15% of people who develop COVID-19 experience severe symptoms, and approximately 5% become critically ill. People with severe symptoms can also experience long COVID.
That's already 0.15 x 0.05 out of all COVID cases.
Then there is a breakdown by lungs, hearth and nervous with linked articles and data that show approx 30% of of that study have 1+ years effects.
This means
0.15 x 0.05 x 0.3
I and don't even want to go into that some of these are either not pernament (in slow, but noticable reversal for 1+ year) or highly subjective (the fatigue study).
