Of those admitted to hospital with moderate to severe Covid-19 infection, 6.5% died at the end of the one-year follow-up period.
They specifically say that this percentage does not apply to those with mild cases.
The study reported that 17.1% of those hospitalised since September 2020 experience post-Covid conditions. [...] People experiencing post-Covid conditions after being discharged from the hospital were nearly three times more likely to die during the following year compared to those who did not report these symptoms.
Doesn't seem super surprising. People who got worse symptoms had more lasting means causing them to die earlier. Am I misunderstanding something or is this pretty obvious.
Statistics dont apply to individuals in that way. You are not an average, you will have a 100% chance of whatever outcome actually happens and it will be because of specific things in your life.
You would only be worried if you personally fit the average type of person that this study looked at but thats verybunlikely, and if it was true for you it would necessarily be untrue for many others.
