RE: https://disabled.social/@tomkindlon/116507994559423741 Estimates of long-COVID prevalence among children infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been highly variable, ranging from as low as 1.6% to as high as 70% in some studies, with most studies reporting a range of 13% to 25% Even the very lowest estimate of 1.6% is dramatically high for a debilitating condition. Imagine if 1.6% of kids were losing the use of their legs from Polio! But assuming 13%-25% is more accurate than 1.6% or 70%: Common conditions included fatigue (85%), headache (75.2%), dizziness (64.5%), anxiety (62.1%), nausea (59.3%), and abdominal pain (38.8%). 85% of kids with Long COVID have fatigue. 85% of kids with Long COVID have fatigue! And it is NOT that the kids are just complaining. Fatigue might sometimes be subjective, but orthostatic hypotension is easy to objectively test, and 3/10 kids with Long COVID have orthostatic hypotension! https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/13/4/ofag155/8651135 #LongCOVID #COVID #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOVer
