You shared a study which concluded over 17% of people who got Covid had symptoms two years later. You posted numerous studies about long Covid which had zero data validation and simply relied on internet surveys for their data. Then again, we now know you post studies even if you think they are inaccurate…which explains a lot considering some of the studies you post. It doesn’t explain why you so adamantly defend them though, seeing as how you yourself say they don’t indicate what they say they conclude.

This study also shows evidence 2 years after acute infection. Crazy, eh?

Majority of the world had it twice, 17% of the world's population would be close to a billion people. So one billion people are suffering from Long Covid?

Which study?

The one in the OP, the topic of this thread.

The WHO reports 768,983,095 confirmed cases.

For the aims of this study, COVID-19 patient survivors (with confirmed diagnostic based on a positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2) who developed a mild,severe, or critical disease, and were admitted (or hospitalized)in the Instituto Mexicano de Seguridad Social (Zacatecas city, Mexico) and Christus Muguerza del Parque Hospital (Chihuahua city, Mexico) between March and November 2020, were recruited.

An acute viral infection is characterized by rapid onset of disease, a relatively brief period of symptoms, and resolution within days.

Okay?

Why didn't you bold "mild"?

Does that mean there isn't evidence of metabolites 2 years later?

Because I was only pointing out what contradicted your claim(of which there is plenty).


Why are you trying to mislead people about the study?

Lol.

Sucks when evidence converges on things we don't like, eh?

Bro. They lied to you. You bought into it like a good little sheep. Now you only have a couple more years.

Hmmm…doesn’t really sound like acute infection to me:

COVID-19 patient survivors (with confirmed diagnostic based on a positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2) who developed a mild, severe, or critical disease, and were admitted (or hospitalized) in the Instituto Mexicano de Seguridad Social (Zacatecas city, Mexico) and Christus Muguerza del Parque Hospital (Chihuahua city, Mexico) between March and November 2020, were recruited.

Of these, 44 (35.6%) passed away during hospitalization and in the following months after hospital discharge. From 80 survivors, it was possible to contact 36 (by their Social Security Number or personal/relative phone number kept in hospital records), and 15 agreed to participate. For these 15 patients, paired plasma samples from the first diagnosis of the acute disease (COVID-19 group) and post-COVID phase were available.




So they tested 15 people who were hospitalized with OG Covid(with no prior baseline to compare to) and concluded a change.




Strong evidence of lots of people getting long Covid now. Pro tip: when you have to lie about the study that’s a sign it isn’t all that great. Then again it’s likely you’ll say the study doesn’t indicate anything a few weeks from now, as you are known to do.

.

If someone is diagnosed with acute disease and then later gets a severe infection to the point of hospitalization does that mean it was actually acute, or that the diagnosis was wrong?

Another wrong guess, but that is how you roll, mostly wrong about things.
Sucks to be you!
Try and keep up with the adult discussion here about statistical changes over time.

.

He only asks questions that fit what he already thinks, then he replies to them no matter how you reply to the previous question.
It is a very robotic, non human, approach to replying.
There are many posters like him who reveal very little about their own personal characteristics, decisions and choices, and solely focus on you and your decisions.
Its creepy.

Perhaps there's comfort in addressing discussants rather than topics?

You do know that many people had it, and didn't get tested? Hell, China stopped counting their numbers after a few months.

Okay? So your female friend isn't suffering from "Long Covid," I guess she just got lucky.......

Right. That was my question. Do you think ascertainment estimates were/are off by orders of magnitude?

Truth is, unlike you, I'm not taking Rainman here seriously. I know the Rona was very traumatic for you, you admitted to suffering from "Covid Fatigue," rest ofnus were living our lives like usual.

You're the one claiming that 17% of those who got the Rona, are suffering long term complications. Since the majority of the planet got it, despite what the WHO says, that would mean that close to a billion people are still ****ed up?

Not really. Estimates of long covid are typically in the range of 10-20% of infections.

It seems like you're suggesting that equates to billions of people. I'm asking how you get to that estimate.

J.LC. You need to stop. You don't have much time left. You shouldn't be wasting what little time you have left arguing online.

Wat?

10-20%? So which is it?

Let's say that a billion people got the Rona, even though the number is higher, you're claiming that 100 million people are suffering from "Long Covid?"

The estimates vary between 10-20%.

I'm not claiming anything, that's what the data suggest.

Bro you're on your ninth booster and still getting them. That heart ain't going to hold out much longer.

Wat?
