Regarding my last post (a quote feature would be really nice right now!) I cut/pasted the headline of the story. I wanted to pass it on as written.

But that headline - "1 in 10 people will end up with long COVID, new study says" - was misleading.

The article has a better summary, "It is estimated more than 10 per cent of those who catch COVID-19 will experience chronic health issues, with women aged between 30 and 55 particularly at risk."

Very glad to see more people figuring out that the way it's being covered by news organizations is not correct. They're very much understating the magnitude of the problem as presented.

7.5% of people were already estimated to have Long COVID in the US by last June. The problem is not getting better with subsequent infections and more waves!
