For some, the coronavirus is neither lethal nor mild, with confounding symptoms that can last far longer than the average 11.5 days
Photo: Getty Images For months, we’ve primarily been told of three dominant outcomes for those infected with COVID-19: Some people die , some people experience something like a bad flu, and some people don’t notice they’re infected at all. But for some, the coronavirus is neither lethal nor mild, with illness lasting far longer than the average 11.5 days.
Just how long is long-term COVID-19? It remains unclear how long people with long-term COVID-19 will, on average, feel sick. We know, though, that there are people who fell sick in March and are still sick five months later. Further complicating the timeline is the fact that not all long-haulers have received positive coronavirus tests, and some, after receiving an initial positive, have since tested negative — but still feel sick.
The CDC states that “prolonged symptom duration and disability” are most common in adults who’ve been hospitalized with severe COVID-19, but acknowledges that long-lasting illness presents in younger patients as well, citing other health conditions as risk factors for prolonged illness in those groups.
