Long covid too
The end of "Discussion" alludes to a point that might imply much higher burden on the system: elective procedures have been delayed, and as expensive as COVID is, the elective procedures bring in far more money (to my understanding). Looking forward to retrospectives on that!
Heck, one missed day of work is worth ~300 USD depending on how you do the estimate, which means if only 10% of people miss one day, its easily a wash with the vaccine...and I'm guessing I just super low-balled absences due to a COVID-19 infection
Also need to factor in societal economic losses when people get sick. If you miss a week of work the flow on effect to the wider economy is quite large. Even a small amount of sickness in the community massively degrades economic performance
I have had so many people off work for a minimum of 2 weeks. Covid is costly on many levels.
