Minneapolis Star Tribune: "Follow up, funding critical on long COVID"

"The entire Minnesota congressional delegation should advocate for long COVID funding and solutions. Those afflicted deserve empathy, proper care and treatment as soon as possible.”

"At the hearing and in a follow-up interview, Al-Aly pushed for a new center within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that would focus on infection-associated chronic illnesses. This would include research not just on long COVID but also on other serious conditions such as myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Lyme disease and multiple sclerosis developing after infection with the Epstein-Barr virus.”
