Scientists can't work tirelessly without grant funding. They can't work at all. These feel good articles are misleading and ignoring that $0 will be spent on COVID, or any virus research since 2025 and the defunding of the NIH.

Interesting read. I didn't know long COVID was so pervasive.
It's frustrating to think about how things could be better if we had a competent government.
Trump administration does not want to acknowledge long COVID even exists. They refuse to fund any research on COVID.
I wonder what the overlap between long covid patients and metabolic impairment is?
its called sequalae, for the terminology, many viruses can cost post viral symptoms. like a systemic rash that cant be explain or even trigger autoimmune or heart issues. covid is such a new virus to the human population it would cause more systemic symptoms than another common virus.
