Your original comment reads as a much stronger statement:
> The meat of this seems to be in confirming that if you're not hospitalized the long-term effects are minimal. Not _zero_, but very small.
I think also 'the long-term effects are minimal' reads too broad since this study only covers a narrow set of long-term effects while your original comment can read as applying to all long-term effects.
> If you disagree with my assessment that a 2x multiplier on a rare event is not worrisome, that's fine - that's just like, my opinion, man. :)
I would want to look at the number of people effected a year before and after the change in order decide if it was worrisome or not.
> if you have symptomatic covid, it takes you a long time to feel "normal" again.
The non-hospitalized group in this study includes both symptomatic and asymptomatic.
This comment thread is a bit weird, you seem to be attacking me on an emotional basis. I'm interested because I think this data shows a good correlation between severity of disease and severity of long term prognosis, that's all.
I have an interest in knowing this, as we all do, because like basically everyone else, I've had coronavirus, and if the data shows that this now means I have an elevated risk of heart issues I should be careful with things like heavy exercise. I don't think it does based on the correlation shown (I didn't have severe coronavirus), so it's actionable information.
If you disagree with my assessment that a 2x multiplier on a rare event is not worrisome, that's fine - that's just like, my opinion, man. :)
