Just wanted to point out a potential skew you both might be missing here: Long COVID isn't very thuroughly defined, because it's not yet even understood as anything beyond "symptoms after infection has cleared due to damage."

This could include the type of permanently crippling nervous system damage that I have, but it could, in some studies, include ANY symptom which lingers for more than a couple weeks after infection.

Could it be possible that 80% of patients who test positive and end up in the study haven't fully recovered by a month later? Could it be that the study only includes more severe cases?
