Thanks for sharing that! I guess I’d be willing to pay $500 (per year? maybe more than that per year?) for someone to do the math for me and keep it updated as new data comes in. (For example, the findings I mentioned here). I think part of it is that I’d just prefer to spend my free time doing other things; part of it is that I’m not very good at evaluating studies, so I don’t trust that my attempts to update on new information would necessarily be valid.
(I did read your post back when you wrote it, and Zvi, Scott, and Matt Bell’s posts around the same time, and kind of hand-waved my way to bumping my weekly budget to ~400 microCOVIDs, then roughly 1000 before Omicron kicked up, but am at a loss for how to update it as new findings come in.)
My willingness to pay for a quantification of risks for long covid: $500
Have you seen this estimate? It’s not a full calculator but lists sources enough that you can do your own math.
