I think that it’s possible they may never find a cure for covid…this wouldn’t be the first time this happened, we have many diseases in our lives that we don’t have a cure for, the best we can hope for is medication that help with the symptoms, it’s not a perfect thing but if they can minimize the symptoms then perhaps we can function better in our daily lives. I was told by a specialist that most things like disease and medication have to be in our lives for at least fifty years to see how they truly affect us.

Hi Frouke,
Hmm, I’d definitely say anything is possible, just like finding the heart of the issue and meds that stop it. It’s this predominant thought pattern of both the healthcare system and politicians of it taking 50 years that keeps us all from getting answers.
Yes, it’s normal that most things take a while to see long term effects, but also finding cures means there has to be people NOT willing to settle for there’s no cure or hope for LC and viral illnesses for 50 years. That wasn’t the thought pattern for acute covid, and that moved mountains and got results and treatment.
If we are only being treated for symptom management …
Each symptom management has side effects and then repercussions that become whole other problems needing treatment (vicious cycle)…polypharmacy is a real problem and “symptom management” is the cause.
I’d rather have targeted viral management and the side effects of those than the “symptom management” that hasn’t helped but causes other symptoms.
One thing Covid has done is give wide spread recognition creating funds, research, and exposure to look for immediate solutions to the acute infection. There has been less energy and resources given to work on post viral conditions.
Yet, viruses are real perpetrators of Soo many health issues from LC, autoimmune diseases, allergies, MS, obesity, and the list goes on). I think demanding more of our healthcare system and politicians to make funding and finding cures for post viral conditions is necessary and should be immediate not condoning the thought process of it takes 50 years.
