For this figure to be meaningful, it would be useful to have a mortality figure for people with the same age profile.

Of those admitted to hospital with moderate to severe Covid-19 infection, 6.5% died at the end of the one-year follow-up period.

They specifically say that this percentage does not apply to those with mild cases.

The study reported that 17.1% of those hospitalised since September 2020 experience post-Covid conditions. [...] People experiencing post-Covid conditions after being discharged from the hospital were nearly three times more likely to die during the following year compared to those who did not report these symptoms.
