Who Gets Long Covid, and Why? | Huge Findings From New Study

Whether it’s your blood type, pre-existing conditions or even your race - there’s been great debate about what makes you likely to catch Covid, and how badly. But what about the brutal long tail, affecting what studies show could be up to 1 in 5 cases? Why might YOU be written off for months and months, whilst your buddy bounces back in weeks?

This film details the findings from a new study of 824 Long Haulers, looking at which pre-existing conditions might determine their risk factor for developing Long Covid. The questions were investigating a hypothesis that certain immune and allergic conditions could be correlated with Long Covid, but I wasn’t expecting the data to come back this clearly!
