Long Covid affects over 400 million globally, lacks treatments

Five years after the onset of Long Covid, many survivors continue to struggle with the condition, which affects over 400 million people globally. Initial misconceptions about the disease's duration have been challenged by ongoing research and advocacy efforts. Advocates have played a crucial role in raising awareness and pushing for research, leading to significant milestones like Long Covid Awareness Day. Despite these efforts, there are still no approved treatments, and many patients face barriers to accessing care. The pandemic's impact on marginalized communities remains a concern, with higher Covid-19 rates and limited access to healthcare. Activists continue to promote prevention measures while sharing their experiences to highlight the ongoing challenges faced by those with Long Covid.
