Covid cases are rising, new variants are spreading; there is a horrible sense of deja vu. Only this time there are no vaccines on the horizon for the majority of the population.
This is especially concerning for long Covid patients, who have never been eligible for early access to vaccines or additional boosters. Yet a study has shown that 60% of recovered long Covid patients will see a recurrence of symptoms if reinfected; another suggested that the condition can have a more damaging impact on quality of life than stage 4 lung cancer.
