"Research Reveals Long Covid Cases Double Current Estimates"

A new study says long COVID is way more common than we think, affecting about 1 in 6 people (16%) who get the virus. Standard medical tracking codes miss over 10 million cases, capturing under (7%) of actual patients. This means the real number could be double what official estimates show.

"These rates, which translate to more than 18 million Americans, are twofold higher than current estimates and reflect the growing cumulative burden of chronic conditions following COVID-19 infection."
