As an American approaching Medicare age with conditions that have long histories of "raising awareness" I don't have a lot of confidence. A less dysfunctional health care system and some actual treatments will do a lot more than awareness. Many of the symptoms of long flu -- bacterial infections, pneumonia, ear infections -- are things we have treatments for, but don't make easily available to people who can't afford insurance or medical care. I think Americans are mostly aware that our health care system fails a large portion of the population, so focusing on individual conditions seems somewhat futile.
