"Desperate" isn't a word used often in the sterile language of elite medical journals. Yet that word alarmingly appears twice in a recent editorial from the Lancet publications about the lack of long COVID treatments.
Long COVID is the name given to the constellation of medical conditions that can potentially last for weeks, months or years after infection with the coronavirus that triggered the 2020 pandemic. These include fatigue (especially after exercise), shortness of breath, heart palpitations, difficulty thinking (sometimes referred to as "brain fog"), fever, headaches and joint pain.
With millions of people already infected, and roughly 1 in 13 adults in the U.S. (7.5%) reporting "long COVID" symptoms (defined as symptoms lasting three or more months), the Lancet authors are understandably sounding the alarm about the scarcity of remedies to help patients. Their call to action merits both amplification and action.

“The following was brought to you by Pfizer”
When we were in the Bahamas we thought I was suffering from Long Covid. I never showed symptoms of Covid, but it seemed to line up with Long Covid. Anyway, after a couple of months (some of it stateside) we cut our trip short and headed back to Miami and drove back to our home in Kentucky. Went to the doctor and it turned out I had Congestive Heart Failure and was about to die. Eleven hours on an operating table a couple of weeks later fixed it, though. I feel better than I’ve felt in years. The surgery was five months ago, BTW.
BTW, I had to take a covid test twice in the hospital. They said I didn’t have it and never had it. I’m also not vaxxed and only once wore a mask. Yet I drove all over the US and came into relatively close contact with thousands of people from all over. My wife and I don’t take Covid seriously, beyond the flu, that is. Our son got it and he was in a very bad way for a few days. He got better - only to, two months later, be killed in a car accident. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Wonder if sores or callouses on their butts are also symptoms of too much TV and video games?
The media are doing their best to ignore the growing distress on the left, and of course the Republican pols are too inept to do anything with this, but fear of “long covid” is a huge issue for a meaningful part of the Democrat base. Worse for them, better for us, is that the issue sharply divides their key voting blocks, with the suburban female “Karen” vote increasingly demanding “action”, and any elements of the working class who haven’t abandoned the party opposing any return to lockdowns, masking, and vax mandates.
Better for the Republicans (though they won’t take advantage of it) is that any return to the depths of 2020 fully unites their base in opposition to any Dem initiative intended to mollify the Karens. Even better, the most radical left elements of their coalition are in near-open warfare with each other over the issue, again breaking down along cultural lines, splitting their college educated “elite” voters away from organized labor.
It’s political malpractice for the conservative/populist wing of the Republican party to not take advantage of this rare gift.
Get back to that pre-COVID feeling.

These are symptoms of allergies I get every year....
Where I work, at least 25% still wear masks and we haven’e had a mask mandate in 2 years. I am in Memphis.

Sounds a lot like the symptoms of watching TV”
Actually, sounds a lot like smoking weed which paves the way for potheads to get medicare for this “illness”
Even during the lockdown, I never let it stop me from doing what I wanted or needed to do. I drove twice to Indiana from NY State to visit my youngest son, and spent two weeks with him each time. I stopped at every rest stop on the way out, and back, plus stayed one night in a hotel on the way out and back, and ate at restaurants while on the road. If I got Covid during those trips, I never knew it. My biggest health issue last year was my doctor changing my blood pressure medications that gave me very bad side effects. It took me 6-8 weeks to recuperate. Thankfully he retired last December, and I now have a new family doctor young enough to be my granddaughter.
When a writer hyperventilates about words, it must mean something.

The medical term they’re looking for to describe this BS is psychosis not Long Covid.
