Nearly 1 in 5 American adults who have had COVID-19 are still suffering from long-haul symptoms, according to new data collected by the Census Bureau and Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
The data, collected from June 1 to June 13, 2022, showed that more than 40% of adults in the United States reported having been infected with COVID-19 in the past, with 19% reporting that they are currently still experiencing symptoms of “long COVID.”
Overall, approximately 1 in 13 adults in the U.S. — or 7.5% — have long COVID-19 symptoms, which the groups define as symptoms that were not experienced by individuals prior to their COVID-19 infection, and these symptoms have lasted three or more months after first contracting the virus.
Et comme il y a une forte inégalité entre hommes et femmes, on a presque 10% des femmes adultes américaines qui souffrent de Covid long (important : c’est 10% de toutes les femmes, pas seulement celles qui ont eu le Covid).
Et dans certains États, les chiffres sont totalement dingues :
Kentucky (12.7%), Alabama (12.1%), Tennessee and South Dakota (11.6%) were found to have the highest percentage of adults who currently have long COVID-19 symptoms.
Mais n’est-ce pas, « on n’est jamais à l’abri d’une bonne surprise ».
