Interesting new preprint on #LongCovid. Some take-homes:
- ~14% of people
- can last months
- associated with +symptoms, previous respiratory disease, gender, age
- not associated with metabolic disease (mostly)https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.19.20214494v1 …
Well, they limited their analysis to only those who'd had a PCR +ve test to try and account for that sort of bias but I agree that it's impossible to infer population estimates from this data

That 2% of people were still bothering to record symptoms after three months of feeling ill says something. I'd have gotten bored of recording by then.

Sure, but equally you'd have to ask what kind of person starts logging their symptoms on an app anyway? Might represent a substantial estimate of people who don't have symptoms for very long, it's very hard to judge which way the bias runs
