COMMENT: Ive always suspected it takes special studies like this to reveal this...It must be a challenge to even find participants in such studies because it is likely that people who don't seek treatment for covid also don't often seek treatment for long covid either..I am sure there are tons of people who were asymptomatic that now have long covid and don't seek treatment because their initial asymptomatic covid was so elusive they wouldn't attribute their long covid to having had asymptomatic covid.. heck they would just assume they had ill health and likely not know they even have long covid... in other words covid and long covid is probably far underestimated and under counted.
It's good for studies like this to reveal to us long covid happens even with mild cases of covid. That's my big beef with press that underreports this. I can't stand people who downplay covid simply because they have no way of predicting what kind of long term problems will occur with covid victims years from now... we are seeing evidence about covid triggering dementia! not to mention all sorts of other health related problems because of having had covid. Who knows how bad covid might continue to prove to be in the long haul for its victims!?.. There's many studies out there that indicate even mild cases of covid leading to long covid and long term repercussions. Never downplay what we don't know.. long covid is a very real thing! For me personally, I would say long covid is more serious than simply surviving the initial phases of covid.. By far I am most scared of catching covid because of long covid!
