COVID-19 is far from done in the United States, with more than 111,000 new cases being recorded a day and 625 deaths being reported every day -- and experts are worried about what that could mean in the form of a second wave of long COVID.
on long COVID, people with thinking problems, heart conditions, mobility issues, and other symptoms are going to need a considerable amount of care. Many will need lengthy periods of rehabilitation.
"While there are variations in how individuals respond and cope with long COVID, the unifying thread is that with the level of disability it causes, more people will be struggling to keep up with the demands of the workforce and more people will be out on disability than ever before," he says. “So far, all the studies we have done on long COVID have been reactionary. Much of the activism around long COVID has been patient-led. We are seeing more and more people with lasting symptoms. We need our research to catch up,” Lau says.
