“The cumulative global incidence of Long COVlD is around 400 million individuals, which is estimated to have an annual economic impact of approximately $1 trillion—equivalent to about 1% of the global economy,” according to a science review published in 2024 by top Long COVlD researchers in the U.S. Yet prevention of COVlD-19 is viewed by most Americans as a taboo. Every day, COVlD -19 is infecting people and spreading. Every infection can lead to Long COVlD, which has no cure or FDA approved treatment. Regardless of severity, patients face long waits, gaslighting, dismissal, abandonment, and high costs in seeking diagnosis and experimental treatments. Every day, this global health crisis is spreading like wildfire as doctors and nurses treat the thought of Long COVlD as a medical taboo and banish it from public consciousness.
