We didn’t defeat COVID-19—we redefined it. ➡️ #LongCOVID now represents a mass disabling event, with lasting neurological, cardiac, and systemic effects that health systems are still failing to confront. ➡️ The pandemic didn’t end—it shifted into LongCOVID, a chronic, disabling condition affecting millions. ➡️ From lungs to brain, LongCOVID leaves a trail of persistent, multisystem damage long after infection. ➡️ What was once an acute crisis is now a silent, long-term epidemic hidden in everyday clinics. ➡️ A new report estimates that medical costs for the treatment of longCOVID patients will average US$11-billion annually across the 38 countries ➡️ Ignoring LongCOVID means overlooking the true, ongoing burden of COVID-19. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
