The only difference from how it's always been is the scale of the problem, but the long COVID heath care options are terrifying. In response to another article yesterday I looked up the closest long COVID clinic to where I live to see what they do. They give you 4 one hour tele-visits with a psychologist, teach you how to log your symptoms, teach you about nutrition and how to use heat and ice to manage your pain. That's apparently it.

@BE Or offer a psychotropic drug like an antidepressant—and not one of the the few SSRIs I’ve read may end up being helpful for LC symptoms that are not mood-related.

Where are the plans to help the millions that will end up having LC?? “You’re on your own”—?
