long covid incidence rate
?
?
?
+3
Roughly 3.4% of all U.S. adults currently experience Long COVID, with about 10% to 20% of infected individuals developing the condition at some point. Rates are highest among women, middle-aged adults, and those with pre-existing conditions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Statistics
Current Prevalence: Approximately 3.4% of U.S. adults report current Long COVID symptoms, which equates to roughly 7% of those who have had a documented infection.
Variant Impact: While original strains and Delta carried higher risks (up to 10%), the incidence dropped to roughly 3% to 8% for vaccinated individuals during the Omicron wave.
Hospitalization Risk: Long COVID occurs in about 10% to 30% of patients who were hospitalized for severe COVID-19. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Most Common Symptoms
Fatigue: ~26% of cases
Respiratory: Difficulty breathing and shortness of breath (~19%)
Neurological: Brain fog, memory problems, and loss of taste or smell (~10%–17%) [1]
For a deeper look into the evolving demographics and localized surveillance data, check the CDC Tracking Long COVID dashboard. If you are looking to

This is actually shockingly high to me. Definitely wouldn’t call this “extremely rare” in an American sense. Those are 1/10,000 to me, not 3/100

I got COVID a couple times and it wasn't awful. No long COVID to speak of.

You consider that rare?
You just made the argument for it NOT being rare.

I really don’t want to go into the symptoms reported by people suffering with long Covid. The symptoms seem to be endless and if I’m being honest, sometimes borderline ridiculous.
For me, I had a cough that I could not control for 10 straight months. The cough was most acute when I would eat or i breathe in any sort of powerful fumes or even drink water. Some coughing fits brought me to the point of vomiting.
I would not even go out to eat during this time because I would just cough the whole time sitting at the table.
That cough simply just stopped after 10 months. Right after the cough stopped, I began suffering neurological and fatigue issues.
Those symptoms remain with me today. It’s been pretty brutal.
But if I’m being honest, I really don’t even think I want to discuss it on here because this site can be pretty brutal. I probably should’ve stayed out of this thread.

The rise of nic pouches and the good ole baw happening concurrently is not a coincidence.

96%plus of the people who get Covid dont get long Covid.
It falls even more if there arent any any underlying conditions.

All the people I knw who've complained about "long covid" was the type who got giga-boosted. So I remain convinced that "long covid" is in fact a vaccine injury.

The incidence of Long Covid was lower in people that were vaccinated.

There’s different subtypes of long COVID. I had one that triggered histamine reactions due to damaged Mast Cells (which can occur with other viruses too). So rash, itching, joint pain, etc. Thankfully it was temporary and resolved as my mast cells regenerated (over about the course of a year). Thankfully I never went into anaphylaxis from it.
Some people develop issues like chronic fatigue syndrome. Or POTS (dizziness, blood pressure changes, fatigue, etc).

Fair enough- I wasn’t poking at you, genuinely curious, but I get it.

I knew an older smoker, who was not in good health. Bounced back from the ventilator and is still rambling and gambling today. I lost 2-3 much healthier people who didn't smoke. They may be on to something.

My husband had something like that going on for awhile, it’s lessened a bit.. I never thought about long covid. His immune system was definitely in hyper drive for quite awhile.

What, exactly, are you confused about?

Since you are sourcing Google. A simple Google search asking if Long Covid is rare gives you this.
Long COVID is not considered rare; it affects a significant percentage of people who contract COVID-19, with estimates suggesting anywhere from \(5\%\) to \(36\%\) of those infected develop lingering symptoms.The exact prevalence varies based on vaccination status, the specific virus variant, and the individual's overall health. Key factors regarding its occurrence include:Frequency: While it is more common among individuals who had severe acute cases, the majority of Long COVID cases actually occur in people who had mild initial infections simply because those cases are so numerous.Recovery: For many, symptoms fade within 1 to 3 months, but for others, the condition can persist for a year or longer.
It’s not rare. Have a great day.
