Study Finds 1 in 4 Americans May Have Long COVID
“A newly released study finds that one in four Americans may suffer from long COVID, a much higher rate than typically cited. Scientists at Mass General Brigham used a sophisticated AI tool for the peer-reviewed study. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that in 2022 roughly 6.9% of Americans had long COVID, the new research finds the actual number may be 22.8%.“

Americans Suffering From Long Covid Fight Insurers for Benefits
Americans Suffering From Long Covid Fight Insurers for Benefits
“Getting long-term disability benefits can be an uphill battle for the 5% of the US adult population CDC data shows is still affected by long Covid in 2024. Private insurers often push back heavily on long-term disability claims, and the unique pitfalls of appealing their decisions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act create additional hurdles for plaintiffs.”

“Postacute infection syndromes like Long Covid disproportionately affect females, differing in prevalence, symptoms, and potential causes from males. This Viewpoint highlights these sex differences, gaps in current understanding, and the critical need for sex-based research.”

Weathered COVID before? Scientists say every new infection puts you at risk of getting long COVID

“Every time you get the virus is another chance to end up with Long Covid.

‘It gets really ugly very quickly,’ said Arijit Chakravarty, a COVID researcher in Massachusetts, ‘because what it means is that if you wait long enough, everyone is at risk of getting it.’”

With a healthy immune system, one can usually reach ketosis in a matter of hours of fasting, an important part of cycling through energy that helps to regenerate immune cells. In Long Covid, this is not possible due to persistent gluconeogenesis, thus ongoing immune dysfunction.
