FWIW, as we get more data in, we're finding that its not very common when compared to the same self-reported symptoms in a control group that didn't have COVID. It's possible (total conjecture on my part) that we find out that fatigue, brain fog, depression, insomnia, etc are the side effects of living under the cloud and fear of a pandemic itself, rather than a side effect of the virus.

Technical article: Updated estimates of the prevalence of post-acute symptoms among people with coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK - Office for National Statistics

Experimental estimates from three approaches to estimating the percentage of people testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) and who experience symptoms four or more weeks after infection, broken down by demographic and viral characteristics, using UK Coronavirus Infection Survey data.

This is the rather telling part of the data that might support my (obviously idiot's) theory:
  • Approach 1: Prevalence of any symptom at a point in time after infection. Among study participants with COVID-19, 5.0% reported any of 12 common symptoms 12 to 16 weeks after infection; however, prevalence was 3.4% in a control group of participants without a positive test for COVID-19, demonstrating the relative commonness of these symptoms in the population at any given time.

Cliffs: 5% of people who had COVID reported long COVID symptoms, but 3.4% of people that never had COVID also reported long COVID symptoms.

That last part is interesting. It’s like that episode of House when everyone on the plane had a mysterious illness.

@Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski it's all in your head.
 
Maine just passed 1000 covid related deaths. Our state is releasing vaccination statistics of school staff. My school district central office staff is less than 50% vaccinated, teachers in various schools are between like 60% and 75% vaccinated. Yikes.

Low vaccination rate and low death rate. Weird.
