Covid-19 has become a chronic condition for tens of millions of people -- and an expensive one, as well
On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced that it was making long Covid a national priority. It unveiled a plan to accelerate efforts to prevent, treat and detect long Covid through a national interagency research action program.In February, the National Institutes of Health announced a $1.15 billion initiative to support research into the condition over four years.
While in treatment, people may be asked to keep diaries and calendars to document changes in their symptoms, especially if something seems to trigger them. A study published in January says one thing that might help people with long Covid is to get vaccinated if they hadn't already. It found that people who got the vaccine were 54% less likely to report headaches, 64% less likely to report fatigue and 68% less likely to report muscle pain than were the unvaccinated.
