Thu, 2024-08-29 19:08 — mike kraft
UK studies highlight prevalence, severity, and impact of long-COVID symptoms Two new studies conducted in the United Kingdom describe the prevalence, severity, and impact of long COVID.

The other suggested that pain is the most prevalent and severe symptom among long-COVID patients and that demographic factors such as age and ethnicity play a role in symptom severity.  CIDRAP
