Millions people may never be able to put the pandemic behind them. They have long Covid. The illness that lingers long after the Acute Covid-19 infection phase.
In this video, we hear from people struggling with long Covid and what scientists have learned about the condition — or conditions — so far. Iwasaki explains long Covid’s diverse effects on the body — on the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory and cardiac systems, and more — and the search for biological origins.
Long Covid is likely more than one disease, but without biomarkers that indicate who will get long Covid and the ways each case will manifest, personalizing treatments is challenging. The prevalence of long Covid has been a wake-up call, Iwasaki says, for society to investigate other syndromes that emerge after a viral infection.
If the coronavirus virus spread were to stop today, we still have millions and millions of people suffering long Covid. ”
