The headline is a bit misleading, as the 1 million figure refers to children who had ever had Long Covid, and 293,000 were experiencing it at the time of the survey. That doesn't mean it isn't a serious issue, but I believe accuracy is important here.
Long COVID in kids is real and widespread. It’s not "rare". Far more than 200k are affected. This latest survey aligns with previous data, but it’s likely an undercount(noted by the authors as a limitation) due to reliance on parental reporting. Kids often struggle to articulate symptoms. Pediatric Long COVID has been ignored despite millions suffering debilitating effects.<p>Note: I work on NIH efforts to cure Long COVID called RECOVER, RECOVER-TLC, and help non-profits dedicated towards viral persistence/immune dysfunction hypotheses.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9xYNAPrMAE" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9xYNAPrMAE</a><p><a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2822770" rel="nofollow">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2822770</a>

CDC + Study = very sceptical<p>Must be a new drug being developed from Ozempic or some other fake drug that cures long covid<p>Long COVID most often occurs in people who had severe illness, but anyone can develop the condition, according to the CDC.<p>yep. they are talking about children with no previous history of illness or disease.<p>Its the poor folks who's parents earn under $100,000 per annum.<p>Here we go again!!!!<p>People who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 are at higher risk of developing long COVID, the agency says.<p>What a load of bollocks
