Key phrase "For those admitted to hospital". It is very low compared to all infections.

Key phrase, since we're talking about long Covid:
> Of those not admitted to hospital, 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one month later and at least 10% three months later;
Still, not "very low"...

A friend of mine never went to a hospital. It's been four months, and he still can't smell anything. He's 25.
People who haven't been hospitalized aren't likely to end up in these statistics, regardless of whether they have long-term problems or not. It's harder to study them.

> Long Covid appears to be more prevalent in women and in young people (including children) than might have been expected from acute Covid19 mortality;
That's not "very low" and you shouldn't insert your own conclusions on unnamed resources.
