And worse that that. Daily Mail ran an article last week that said men who have had covid have 3x the likelihood of having ED.

Combined with the TV ads that tell us 40% of men over 50 have ED, then your chances of having ED if you’re over 50 and have had covid just went to 40% * 3 = 120%.

So 70% with severe cases live.

I just googled "ED" and got 1,517,308 hits.

What are you talking about?

It doesn’t make sense to multiply probabilities like this. You need to work with odds.

odds of ED post COVID = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3

3*”odds of ED post COVID” = (2/3)*3 = 2

Now convert back to probability:

probability of ED post COVID = 2/(1 + 2) = 2/3.

So that comes to about 66.6%.
