Symptom experience before vs. after confirmed #SarsCoV2 infection:
Individuals reporting baseline symptoms had longer #PostCovid symptom duration (from 10 to 15 days) with baseline fatigue nearly doubling duration. Two-thirds (910 of 1350 [67.4%]) of individuals with long illness were asymptomatic beforehand.
