An estimated 400 million people have suffered long COVID since the start of the pandemic

Long COVID is costing countries billions of dollars in lost productivity and increased health and social welfare costs, economists say.

Five years on from the start of the COVID-19 crisis, millions of people are struggling with debilitating health problems that have decimated their lives and livelihoods.

The first cases of long COVID were reported in May 2020.

The OECD, a club of mostly rich nations, estimates long COVID could be costing its 38 members $864 billion to $1.04 trillion annually due to reductions in quality of life and labour force participation. This does not include the extra burden on health services.

    Science doesnt scare me and I did read that post. You guys sure like to make up things that never happened.

    And then you continue to bring up some random article you found about one person having long covid before vaccination, when my question was about the article linked here. Just because you find one person doesnt mean that all people with long covid didnt vaccinate.

    I mean, its strange how some guys here are not only rude, but also quite stupid and constantly misunderstand basic questions. Whats going on?

    Look at the comments to my question. None of them even correctly understand what I asked for. I dont know, maybe people are tired.
