Noted in “‘We are in trouble’: Study raises alarm about impacts of long covid,” Frances Stead Sellers, WaPo:
“It has always been the case that those who are sicker are more likely to have long-term sequelae,” [David Putrino, director of rehabilitation innovation for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York] said. “What is frightening is that the mild cases by far outnumber the severe, so even a small percentage of mild cases going on to develop long-term sequelae is a massive public health concern.”
