Dr. John Lambert:

Absolutely. That is kind of the message. Our data showed that in our clinic, of patients who were followed up with, 30% still had significant symptoms at one year. However, with time, they improved. The percentage of people who have severe symptoms, such as not being able to get out of bed, concentrate, focus or go to work, is a small number and it drops with time. Still, I have some patients in my long Covid clinic who were infected in March and April of 2020 and they are still incapacitated. They are showing some improvements, but not to the point they can return to usual activities. This is a new virus that we are still learning about. We need longitudinal studies, but we also need to find ways to support patients to speed up their recovery.
