Does anyone have authoritative data indicating how common long-covid is?
Anecdotally, I was triple vaccinated (2x Moderna + booster), but I still caught covid twice (Aug 2021 and Jan 2022). Both times I had mild brain fog and cold-like symptoms (runny nose and light headache). Both times I recovered completely within 4 or 5 days. I'm a healthy 25 year-old man living in San Francisco, California.
Not trying to imply anything about long-covid, but it hasn't been my experience or that of anyone I personally know.
As a ballpark 10-20% would be expected given other harsh viruses cause CFS/ME 10-20% of the time and Covid is a particularly harsh virus. Not as harsh as MERS though.
