But the IFR for SARS is order of magnitudes higher and we know that severe illness is more likely to cause long-term effects.
An order of magnitude less then SARS would still be a lot.
we know that severe illness is more likely to cause long-term effects.
How do we know that? We did have some long-COVID studies that suggest this isn’t the case.
If the long-term effects are due to the immune system “learning” to attack native cells that can happen without severe illness.
