In this issue, we highlight significant legislative proposals by Senator Bernie Sanders aimed at boosting Long COVID research, as well as new clinical trials and scientific studies that reveal challenges and innovations in tackling LC. From groundbreaking studies published in reputable journals like The Lancet and Nature Immunology to crucial legislative movements, there is a lot to cover this week.
I have a question. Do the studies only include persons who were hospitalized? I had the really bad Covid for almost 3 months. Didn’t go to hospital (probably should have) mostly because I didn’t have any insurance at the time. Once I was able to get a job and insurance went and checked my antibodies they were thru the roof. That’s how I know what it was. My cardiologist has confirmed the my tachycardia is caused from Covid. I have lung issues, neurological issues, gut issues that got worse, and brain fog. This has literally sat me down and has changed my whole lifestyle. Please include patients that were not hospitalized like me. There are so many of us.
The phenotyping article got my attention. I don't seem to have the cardiopulmonary LC challenges so much, but the gastrointestinal and neurological/cognitive challenges, most definitely! And interesting how yet again there might be a brain-gut connection.
For the gut challenges, my body is responding very well to ginger tea. I have noticed a significant reduction in constipation!
"The ongoing gap between the total number of adults who had COVID and those experiencing long COVID indicates that many individuals are recovering from the condition."
"The condition"... with Long COVID encompassing many different patient groups it would be helpful to focus on those who are not recovering and then stratify them into categories. Is it one specific group who are not recovering?

Great summaries!
