Is it true that between 87% and 98% of people with the chikungunya virus experience severe joint pain or stiffness during the chronic phase of the infection?
No. The provided evidence indicates that a much lower percentage of people (around 30% to 40% or fewer depending on the study) experience long-term chronic joint issues from chikungunya, directly refuting the claim that 87% to 98% suffer from severe joint pain or stiffness during the chronic phase.
