@Greengordon @trendless @novid If 18% of physicians, who have been through med school with shifts that no human should have to go through and no average worker will go through... if THEY can no longer work, what % of average workers with #LongCovid can't work? Gotta be higher... much higher.

@justyourluck @Greengordon @trendless @novid Not 18% of physicians. 18% of those with long COVID. Big difference. (Still sucks.)

@Tarheel @Greengordon @trendless @novid Yes, I understand that. Of course. I didn't feel the need to reclarify what was already clarified in the OP?

@Greengordon @trendless @novid And *if* we assume the UK's percentage of doctors with long COVID in the first place is 10%, comparable to that Quebec number, that would mean that just this one facet of COVID -- LC so bad you simply can't work anymore -- has taken out nearly 2% of all the doctors in the country. Mostly in the past ~2 years, since the abandonment of PHMs against hospital-acquired infections, I'd guess. |

Yikes.
"A British Medical Association study found that 18 per cent of physicians with Long COVID had symptoms so severe that they could no longer work. This is what attrition looks like."
