   This headline is so misleading.

   The bigger takeaway is that a THIRD of teenagers are still suffering from #LongCovid symptoms after two years.

   So much of their lives just... gone.

     I now realize you don't say so, but at least I read this post as if 30% of all infected teenagers still show symptoms after two years.

     To clarify, 30% of those who still had symptoms *after three months* also had them after two years, not 30% of all infected.

     Of all 943 infected, 68 were still suffering symptoms. That's 7%, which I think is still a pretty high number.
