@Mabande The scienceAlert writers messed up royally with this title, the correct summary is that: around 50% of patients in African studies _about long term effects_ had long COVID.
The sciencealert text is about a meta study that included in total 30 000 diagnosed cases of Covid, while the same article sciencealert is supposedly summarising gives the total number of diagnosed covid cases as 9 million! That headline 50% figure is just insanely inaccurate!
