It takes very severe disability for it not to be brushed off as depression, anxiety, burnout, or blamed on lifestyle.
Additionally, a lot of those numbers are based on earlier strains of COVID, which were much more severe.
I suspect the 1/5 figure is largely true for "has some degree of cardiovascular damage and worsened general health after COVID", but the number of people actually disabled by the condition is much lower.
That said, any loss of ability is a sad thing, and I am incredibly disappointed that we did not introduce any shared indoor space air quality legislation post-pandemic.
