Global Prevalence of Long COVID, its Subtypes, and Risk factors: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis | Open Forum Infectious Diseases | Oxford Academic
Ann Arbor and New Haven researchers reviewed 429 studies with over 2 million people and found long COVID affects 36% worldwide, lasting up to 2 years, with fatigue, respiratory and neurological issues most common
New #LongCOVID case study out!
In this study, subjects were given a new drug called IMC-2, which is a combination of the herpesvirus antiviral drug valcyclovir and celexoxib, an anti-inflammatory which is believed to also have antiviral properties.
IMC-2 was successful in reducing long COVID symptoms, both alone and in combination with Paxlovid
Long COVID Hitting Doctors and Nurses Hard
A recent study published in Frontiers found that 7.7% of US healthcare workers have LongCOVID, causing high levels of burnout, depression and anxiety.
Additionally, long Covid/PASC is implicated in up to 15% of unfilled jobs, highlighting its significant impact on workforce participation.
The Post-Viral Cascade: From SARS-CoV-2 Inflammation to Musculoskeletal Fibrosis and Biomechanical Failure
SARS-CoV-2 drives chronic inflammation and fibrosis that stiffens musculoskeletal tissues, weakening their biomechanical integrity.
This increases injury risk post-COVID, demanding cautious, tissue-aware rehab protocols.
The Pathophysiology of Post-COVID-19 Myopathy: A Comprehensive Review of Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Impaired Recovery, and Injury Susceptibility
Long COVID myopathy is a mitochondriopathic disease, not deconditioning—driven by viral sabotage, chronic inflammation, & impaired muscle repair.
Its hallmark symptoms stem from cellular energy collapse, demanding a shift in clinical treatment paradigms.

City Doctors Blame ‘Long Covid’ For Severe Viral Infections That Have Laid Kolkata Low
A past history of ‘long or severe' Covid may have led to long-term weakening of respiratory and immune functions, making thousands in the city more vulnerable to recurrent infections, say doctors.
Long Covid Hits UK Economy Harder Than Most Other Countries
“Britain’s economy is still suffering from long Covid. The unmatched spike in public debt, the 1.2 million extra people on sickness benefits, the record postwar tax burden, the bulging size of the state and — above all — weak economic growth are the lasting symptoms of decisions taken during the pandemic. But some of the harm was purely accidental.”
The Gut-Centric Pathogenesis of Long COVID: A Synthesis of Mechanistic and Clinical Evidence Linking SARS-CoV-2, Microbiome Dysbiosis, and Post-Acute Sequelae
The gastrointestinal tract is a central driver of Long COVID pathogenesis, w/ SARS-CoV-2 infecting intestinal cells and causing inflammation, microbiome dysbiosis, and more.
Persistent viral reservoirs in the gut lead to systemic and metabolic disruption.

Inside long COVID’s war on the body: Researchers are trying to find out whether the virus has the potential to cause cancer - Carolyn Barber
“Extensive tissue damage, chronic inflammation, low levels of oxygen in the tissues, oxidative stress, impaired T-Cell responses, & elevated levels of cytokines are all mechanisms through which, it is postulated, SARS-CoV-2 may increase the risk of cancer development."
