At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have #longCOVID. Biomedical research has made substantial progress and similarities with other viral-onset illnesses such as #MECFS and POTS have laid the groundwork for research in the field.
Many researchers have commented on the similarity between #MECFS and #LongCovid; around half of individuals with long COVID are estimated to meet the criteria for ME/CFS.
#LongCovid encompasses multiple adverse outcomes, with new-onset conditions including cardiovascular, thrombotic and cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, #MECFS and dysautonomia. Symptoms can last for years, and in cases of new-onset ME/CFS are expected to be lifelong.
