Long Covid often leads to an inability to do substantial amounts of deep work. Given that a lot of people in this community derive a big part of their self worth from being able to do specific kinds of concentrated work (whether that’s healthy or not) and work sooner counts more than work later,* I think 10% is maybe a bit low. (It depends how quickly you expect Long Covid to improve. If it’s 70% impairment for 2 years, would that translate to “10% of remaining life,” impact-wise?)
*Due to discounting for haste consideration, cognitive decline from eventually getting rigid in one’s thinking, early AI timelines in some people’s cases.
