- Screenshot from the article: "Researchers at Northwestern Medicine found that among those tested, 85% reported decreased quality of life, 51% said they had cognitive impairment, 45% had altered lung function, 83% had abnormal CT chest scans, and 12% had elevated heart rate on rhythm monitoring." " 'You will have many patients come to us still in good numbers to fill up our clinics with maybe the third, fourth, fifth infection, and now having finally developed post-Covid symptoms, not allowing them to fill up hospitals, ICUs and overflow but still with symptoms that are enough to be disabling to their lives as previously known,' said Dr. Marc Sala." There's a red box around this last sentence to emphasize it: "Long Covid occurs in about a third of Covid survivors and is now the third leading neurologic disorder in the United States." (remote)
