The German RKI has calculated how many years victims of hospitalised Covid-19 cases have lost on average in life expectancy, and found it to be 9.6 years. If differentiating both genders, males tend to loose around three years more than women.

Early last year, the London analysts have done similiar calculations with the data available to them at that time, i think it was around April, and they came to comparable statements back then already. The effect is stronger in younger people (it shortens your life expectancy the more the younger you are).

Puts claims regarding "recovering from Covid" into relation, doesn't it. Having your life expectancy being shortened by a decade is not really what people usually mean when saying "recovery", eh?
