First, I'm not sure this is the right thread for this - moderator, please move if needed.
Second, a caveat -- Long COVID is obviously a God-awful thing, and the $1.15 billion over 4 years that Congress provided the NIH to study it (in December '20) is fantastic news for everyone, including us ME/CFS patients, who may indeed benefit from any treatments that become available as a result.
But why the hell does Long COVID get $1.15 billion, when ME/CFS gets only $15 million annually (i.e., just over 5% of what Long COVID gets)? Can someone please explain this to me???
Thank you.
