I'm wanting a good reference about the risk of Long Covid in subsequent infections. I couldn't find one immediately although I think we have seen a couple of papers on that topic.
If I find them, I'll post them here. But if you put your finger on them immediately, please do let me know.
Of course, the possibility of people developing an ME/CFS-type illness after subsequent infections is pretty consequential. It means that it's not just a relatively small number of susceptible people who will come down with an ME/CFS-type illness and everyone else will be fine. Instead, perhaps there will be an increasing proportion of the population that have the illness.
It also perhaps tells us something about the risk factors for developing an ME/CFS-type illness. Perhaps genes are not everything; perhaps environmental factors and chance are important.
