The problems of post-COVID-19 syndrome are not getting enough attention. I am seeing patients every single session with persistent fatigue, generalized weakness and other weird symptoms like partial anosmia. There's nothing to offer them, even the barest thread of information

The implications of a prolonged post-COVID-19 syndrome are really staggering. There are 3.9 million confirmed Covid cases in the US - and we know that is only a fraction of total cases. Let's say we have 6 million total cases.

Let's combine this with an extremely optimistic interpretation of the report on persistent COVID-19 symptoms from Italy in
@JAMA_current
At a mean follow up of 60 days (n = 179), 53% of patients still had fatigue and 44% still had worse quality of life. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768351…

Now this is follow-up for hospitalized patients, so rates of persistent symptoms are likely to be worse than for people with mild-moderate disease. Anecdotally though, I am seeing plenty of persistent symptoms among people who just weathered out COVID-19 at home.

If even a small fraction of the millions of cases in the US result in a chronic fatigue-like syndrome, that's hundreds of thousands of Americans with a new, miserable chronic illness. Who knows how this will shake out - data is thin and I am extrapolating a lot. But I'm worried.

Sharon apologies if this has been enabled but I had the same question from someone else and PMed them a screenshot of my buttons but theirs were different. May be it is browser related? I am on current firefox.

we may have edited simultaneously, that gave some confusion
 
gsgs, Perhaps you were attempting to add on to 'my comment' to you, and that is why you received the "you are not authorized to create this post", since it was my post.
No worries. :) Have a great evening!
 
It is universally enabled. But if someone has had an account for many years on FT it appears that after some software upgrades gliches occur in old accounts. For gsgs, I clicked "save" on his account in the control panel and then he could see the comment button. Apparently something was reset on his account after I did that. If anyone is having any trouble please pm me. Thanks!

Israeli doctor reinfected with coronavirus 3 months after recovering
This is the second case at Sheba Medical Center in which a patient recovered from the virus and was subsequently reinfected.

Preliminary studies in China, Germany, the UK and elsewhere have found patients infected with the novel coronavirus make protective antibodies as part of their immune system’s defenses, but these appear to last only a few months.

That raises big problems for developers of potential COVID-19 vaccines, experts say, and for public health authorities seeking to deploy them to protect populations from future waves of the pandemic...
