I have a friend who is blind and does sports radio and a post game show. There's been stories done about his ability to do that given being blind, but he says long covid has been a more formidable challenge. I think in terms of approving treatments and drugs, the chronic nature of of "long" covid needs to be considered. I've followed up with reporters who have done stories on covid asking if they plan a follow-up on long covid. I've suggested a focus on the (long covid) clinics as I thought they were to be a clearinghouse of sorts helping link symptoms and treatments and providing a springboard for further research.

Have you read The Invisible Kingdom, Reimaging Chronic Illness by Meghan O'Rourke? It's worth reading. Even though her focus is primarily about her long undiagnosed illness, Lyme Disease, she addresses Long Covid and the frustration of people seeking solutions. If nothing else, I love the fact that a well-known journalist has written about the need for a "seismic shift in our approach to disease". I hope the medical community takes note.
