4 Years In, A Sobering Look At Long COVID Progress

Four years ago in the spring of 2020, physicians and patients coined the term "long COVID" to describe a form of the viral infection from which recovery seemed impossible.

Today, 6.4% of Americans report symptoms of long COVID, and many have never recovered. Still, we've come a long way, although there's much we don't understand about the condition.
