Along with claiming the lives of 1.2 million Americans, the covid-19 pandemic has been described as a mass disabling event.
Estimates of prevalence range considerably, depending on how researchers define long covid in a given study, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts it at 17 million adults.
Despite long covid’s vast reach, the federal government’s investment in researching the disease — to the tune of $1.15 billion as of December — has so far failed to bring any new treatments to market.
Ah that sucks to hear, in my case it was 2 years of doctors recommending to keep pushing my boundaries which let to it worsening severely, sadly had to drop out of uni in my final year.
Until I got one of our countries leading experts who is now using me as a guinea pig so to speak. Expirimental meds did worsen some parts of it, but luckily that faded each time I stopped taking them.
Currently praying I don’t get male lactation and man boob growth which is one of the possible side effects of the current test XD
