More than a quarter of people with COVID infection develop Long COVID, new research reveals.

"A new study carried out by researchers at the University of York suggests 28% of people who catch COVID-19 will go on to suffer from Long COVID."

“There is a societal tendency in the UK to think Covid is over, but Long Covid is having a profound and lasting effect on individuals and society as a whole, with many people leaving the workplace due to the condition. This is placing a heavy burden on the economy.”

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 I'm not denying the existence of Long Covid at all, but I must note that of the dozens of people I know who have had Covid, not one has long Covid. If over 1-in-4 people have it, surely one of approx 50 people should have it? Either I know a really skewed sample of people, or that 28% claim is incorrect. PS My sympathies to those who do suffer the sequelae of Covid infection over the long term.
