It’s interesting they select specifically for Long Covid and not some other theorized to be post viral thing, like chronic fatigue. But I guess it makes sense too, since Long Covid has a far clearer cause/impact than “idk some virus made you disabled”.
- mathgeek 3y agoThere are specific grants available for studies focused on Long Covid, e.g. https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/07/31/hhs-announces-formation-office-long-covid-research-practice-launch-long-covid-clinical-trials-through-recover-initiative.html https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/07/31/hhs-announces-form...
- klyrs 3y agoChronic fatigue is a syndrome: a constellation of symptoms of unknown cause. Long covid has a similar description, but with a bright flashing arrow pointing towards a cause. Having experienced year-long brain fog and loss of executive function due to a flu, I'm hoping that a silver lining of covid is that we will have enough data and funding to actually pinpoint and treat the root cause. And, if I allow myself some optimism, it might point us towards drivers behind other syndromes of a similar nature.
