The best data I’ve seen, and this is speaking conservatively, suggests 1 in 60 so-called mild Covid infections leads to ME/CFS (see the “acute infected” cohort in figure 1 here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...). Pairing that w/the picture of ME/CFS that UNREST paints is a risk worth mitigating.

I think it’s a big problem that most of the public is totally unfamiliar w/one of the worst yet common outcomes from Covid, namely ME/CFS. I often share this Sundance doc bc I think being able to visualize the harm (as we can for, say, polio) makes it easier to understand the desire to mitigate it.
