Covid pandemic is over but the world is still reeling from the profound impact of long Covid that continues to pose risk to many aspects of our health. Many Covid patients who survived the infection, succumbed to long Covid complications months later which highlights the stealthy nature of the infection. More than 5,000 Americans have died from long Covid since the start of the pandemic, according to estimates from CDC.
The fact remains that there is no standard definition or diagnostic test for long Covid, the condition many adults, children and elderly are battling with. It is not just an inexplicable fatigue, a frustrating brain fog, headaches, or dizziness, long Covid could severely impact our viral body parts like heart, lungs, kidney and brain, which can lead to a range of health conditions, which if not tacked could lead to death.
