Months and months ago, when COVID-19 first broke, one of the most concerning aspects of the disease was the possibility that it might produce long-term chronic fatigue, based on a comparison with SARS (apparently a large percentage of the people who had SARS in 2003, had chronic fatigue symptoms years later, though I can’t find the paper right now), plus some other evidence.
At the time, we didn’t have much data, but now we’re a few months into the pandemic. Obviously, we won’t know how long lasting it is, but what are the updated risk estimates of chronic fatigue from COVID?
[Question] Do we have updated data about the risk of ~ permanent chronic fatigue from COVID-19?
