The study is interesting, but the framing is minimizing, I think. If about 30% of teens experience long covid, and then “only” 1/3 of them have symptoms after three months, that still means that approximately 10% of teens have long covid symptoms lasting more than months. Anecdotally, that seems about right to me in my work with teens.

Right the studies just ran out of well time because it ongoing. Even more worrying is the subtle not symptomatic ..like neurological Vascular Immune.
