First line of the study:
> Long COVID, as currently defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other authorities, is a symptomatic condition that has been shown to affect an estimated 10-30% of non-hospitalized patients after one infection.
Doesn't say 100%.
- Spod_Gaju 2y agoThen they need to stop saying that Covid causes these things. They need to say Covid increases a risk of causing these diseases in some people. I mean, look at the title of the paper “Spectrum of COVID-19: From Asymptomatic Organ Damage to Long COVID Syndrome” Where is the part of the spectrum where nothing happens at all? The spectrum of COVID-19 is from nothing happened to dying. And I can see everyone on Twitter right now yelling at me to wear a mask because the spectrum of Covid is always disabling. It’s just really really bad messaging

- neogodless 2y agoDo you speak English? If COVID does not cause long COVID, what are you implying is the cause? If a car hitting you does not cause death by vehicular manslaughter, what causes it?

- a0123 2y agoPeople wouldn't have had those issues had it not been for COVID. So how do you phrase it? Enlighten us without making us laugh. As someone put it earlier: it would be stupid to say "a gun is a lethal weapon only to someone who's been lethally shot".
