Excellent.
Lets get this circulating (except I can't let my daughter see it, but I want all her contacts to see it)....
COMMENT:
I question the increased medical expenditure estimate. We are mostly receiving no care, limited care, little care, etc.
One person gets no help. Another goes to ten specialists.
so mostly I think IF there really were treatments, that estimate would be a far GREATER number
What if we were actually getting MRIs, vascular scans, stem cell custom medicine, aphaeresis, HBOT; weekly acupuncture. Pills that fixed things. Spinal treatments.
Maybe I"d be much better if I had spent 1200$ on Infrared only I never have so I"ll never know.

I 'think' the article is covering more of the lost output/GDP due to people sick with long covid.
I know a FedEx pilot that has to hang up his career prematurely due to long covid. He actually failed a tilt table test at a recent doctors appointment.

Seems crazy so many patients and researchers around here celebrating Long Covid getting 1.15 billion from the government when that's far less than one tenth of one percent of what this disease will cost if it goes untreated. I get that it's more than CFS ever got and it's having some benefits for cfs but we still got played for fools, though our loss is the governments as well
If you learned something was conspiring to take $3,700 from you would probably spend more than a nickle, a dime, and four quarters to protect it

yeah, but its more than the puny $15 Million from NIH Or is that $4M
I made the mistake of sending that to my brother whose daughter is an RN.
I said I" ve had long COVID since 1963. He did not get the joke, as he does not "get" whats up with me and THIS.
He asked how did I know its COVID. I said: I was just kidding, I have never had COVID.
Joke failed, attempt to have direct contact, largely failed. I got one incomplete sentence response. Thats about it.
I think I'll go read todays news story: Financial Times- we are all isolated.
