@Vadeboncoeur_Al @pierrotcharette Cette étude donne une idée générale. https://t.co/3THs2rHPmb Un fort % s’améliore dans les 3 premiers mois. Bcp plus lent ensuite. Il y a qq autres études, mais je suis à l’extérieur et je ne les ai pas sous la main… Il reste cependant trop de symptomatiques depuis mars 2020.

The symptoms lists in the supplementary. I think it might be useful to include a "flu-like illness" or "malaise" symptoms as a possible sign of ongoing inflammation/cytokine activity. https://t.co/O4NkXqyfNR
