Are you implying that approximately one out of ten people who get covid will suffer debilitation from long Covid?

study results seem to suggest about one in five to one in four people experiences long covid and further:
Shruti Mehta, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Looking at people who report they are not able to function in life, we’ve seen about 3 to 5 percent, which is still a large number.[..]My bottom line is, with a potential cost of $2.6 trillion, that’s so big that there’s nothing, no preventive action, that wouldn’t be worth doing to reduce the burden of long-Covid,” Cutler said.”
So I think one in ten being quite seriously affected is about in the right ballpark, if not too conservative.
