LjLthis Israeli study on long COVID in patients who had "mild" COVID https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj-2022-072529 seems to downplay the chances a lot compared to what we're used to reading (15% I think is mostly the current consensus) and https://www.statnews.com/2023/01/11/mild-infections-long-covid-symptoms-clear-after-a-year-large-study/ reflects that. thoughts?00:09
