Ms Julia Corey:

I can give some statistics on recovery. A 2023 study by Tala Ballouz et al reports that 22.9% of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 were not fully recovered six months after infection. They also found the proportion of individuals who had an infection who reported not having recovered decreased to 18.5% after 12 months and 17.2% after 24 months. While some people report recovery it is very much the minority. Many of these people are still ill.
