Long covid, real-world evidence.
well its been documented six ways from sunday by now. you still don't believe its real even after all the people having their lives ruined by this???
I think by now there should be good estimates for how it affects people.
well if you're looking for a double blind study where they infect healthy people with covid in the hopes that it gives them long covid, i don't know if we're ever going to see THAT type of estimate.
it does seem to vary from person to person in some manner of fashion but the baselines seems to be an inability to recover their normal lives in any tangible way.
Disabilities, early retirements, etc
again, i don't know if we'll ever truly get those numbers, mostly given to how god awful the disability system is here in the states. they will do everything possible to keep you off of disability, and i do mean everything. long covid has yet to be classified as a disability. i'm honestly not sure it ever will...
here's some articles i grabbed quickly:
