Long Covid impacted more than 1M children: CDC study suggests

The headline is a bit misleading, as the 1 million figure refers to children who had ever had Long Covid, and 293,000 were experiencing it at the time of the survey. That doesn't mean it isn't a serious issue, but I believe accuracy is important here.

Long COVID in kids is real and widespread. It’s not &quot;rare&quot;. Far more than 200k are affected. This latest survey aligns with previous data, but it’s likely an undercount(noted by the authors as a limitation) due to reliance on parental reporting. Kids often struggle to articulate symptoms. Pediatric Long COVID has been ignored despite millions suffering debilitating effects.<p>Note: I work on NIH efforts to cure Long COVID called RECOVER, RECOVER-TLC, and help non-profits dedicated towards viral persistence&#x2F;immune dysfunction hypotheses.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=R9xYNAPrMAE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=R9xYNAPrMAE</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamanetwork.com&#x2F;journals&#x2F;jama&#x2F;fullarticle&#x2F;2822770" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamanetwork.com&#x2F;journals&#x2F;jama&#x2F;fullarticle&#x2F;2822770</a>

I wonder how much of this is related to the attention economy in combination with perhaps lack of sun, healthy diet, fresh air and regular exercise.

i think we need to rethink our strategy for treating long covid, cfs&#x2F;me, ibs, and related functional diseases

CDC + Study = very sceptical<p>Must be a new drug being developed from Ozempic or some other fake drug that cures long covid<p>Long COVID most often occurs in people who had severe illness, but anyone can develop the condition, according to the CDC.<p>yep. they are talking about children with no previous history of illness or disease.<p>Its the poor folks who&#x27;s parents earn under $100,000 per annum.<p>Here we go again!!!!<p>People who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 are at higher risk of developing long COVID, the agency says.<p>What a load of bollocks
