Long Covid/PASC (general)
“Hi, I’m Hannah. This is my story about COVID changing my life. This will be a thread, so here we go:
I got COVID in 2020 (during the first wave, months and months before the vaccine was released) at the age of 23. I am now 28 years old, and I spend every day in a bed.”
“Long COVID is causing disproportionate morbidity and disability in younger adults”
“In this population of healthy young adult US Marines with mostly either asymptomatic or mild acute COVID-19, one fourth reported physical, cognitive, or psychiatric long-term sequelae of infection. The Marines affected with PASC showed evidence of long-term decrease in functional performance suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 infection may negatively affect health for a significant proportion of young adults.”
