Where did you get 5%?

Last I saw you have a 20% chance of long covid, but it seems that was with older variants.

The thing that scares me is:

> up to two years after infection, at an elevated risk for many long COVID-related conditions including diabetes, lung problems, fatigue, blood clots and disorders affecting the gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems.
