Long COVID affects approximately one third of people who survive COVID-19, according to Northwestern Medicine.
Center co-director Dr. Marc Sala said he doesn’t think the public and policymakers are paying enough attention to long COVID. Interest in the disease’s lingering effects has faded amid the declared “end” of the pandemic, he said.
The long COVID patients the center sees had diverse experiences with COVID-19 when they were initially ill, Sala said. Some were hospitalized and intubated, while others never even tested positive, he said. Now, they exhibit a broad mix of unique symptoms, he added.The unique challenges the patients face means medical systems need to respond to long COVID with clinics where multiple clinicians from different specialties are working together to quickly evaluate and care for patients, Sala said.
“I would have to spend like 20 minutes to an hour trying to get into the space to be able to write, to be able to solve problems,” Jusino Sánchez said. “And even then, I can still do the things that I need to do on a daily basis, but it sucks. It’s very hard,” he said. “You might end up having a version of it,” he said. “So I think it’s very important as a society that we start thinking more about how we accommodate people with long COVID and how we try to stop it from happening in the first place.”
