[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2286236, member: 523528"] Think the big caveat here is that we have no idea how many young people have had covid so it's likely we only hear about how those with symptoms have had long term effects. Indeed many with mild symptoms also don't realise they've had it so mortality and severity is hard to know. I say that with full knowledge of someone who was 27 and on a ventilator.. But I still think that's more likely the exception than the rule. With the emerging evidence around t cells it's becoming even harder to know how many in the population have been infected... Antibody tests don't look for t cells so really figures at this minute in time mean very very little. Only that hospital admissions and mortality are both on the decrease... Hopefully not just attributable to lockdown and restrictions but we just don't know. [/QUOTE]
