Abstract in brief

  • The study examined nonhospitalized COVID-19 patients in Arizona to determine how many experience lingering symptoms (PASC) at least 30 and 60 days after infection, finding that around 69% and 77% respectively reported ongoing symptoms.
  • Common long COVID symptoms included fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, and stress or anxiety, with most patients experiencing about three symptoms on average.
  • The research highlights that even individuals with milder cases of COVID-19 who weren’t hospitalized can have persistent health issues for months after initial infection.

If you're skipping the vaccine because you're younger, healthy, and figure you can handle a mild case of the virus should you get sick you might want to reevaluate your math. Even mild COVID infections can lead to long-term symptoms. Source: https://t.co/X7ZyRdJjbA
