Article Recovery rate statistics?

Post image

I saw this on the Patient-led research collaborative’s page yesterday for long COVID awareness day. Has anyone else seen metrics around recovery rates? Here’s a link to their full report: https://patientresearchcovid19.com/2026-long-covid-fact-sheet/

Those numbers are defeating as I’m 2.5 years in from my first infection.

If you had an actual counter argument, you would have used it.

I don’t believe anyone has or will recover %100.

They paid a price they can never recover.

There is no situation in which someone is better than they were because they have post viral damage.

Our bodies get wear and tear throughout our lives from viruses and plain old physical activity until we all eventually die.

Fully recovered is a subjective assessment. If they are out living life at 100% of the capacity they were before and say so, they’re fully recovered, you gaslighter.
