@KN3RDS@mastodon.online I remember reading an article from before the vaccines were out (fall 2020-ish?) based on data from insurance companies (for, say, long-term disability insurance claims), and their back-of-the-napkin figure for long Covid sufferers out of the work force (so not counting dead and not counting elderly, most of whom died), was 2 million. I'm surprised it's as small as 3 million here, 2+ years later.

    @swampudlian@esq.social Yeah, similarly I remember reading this MIT article back in 2020 and it has remained eerily prescient. https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/03/17/905264/coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing-18-months/amp/
