Long Covid could leave a $3.7T impact rivaling the Great Depression

Long Covid, a chronic illness resulting from Covid-19 infection, could be the next public health disaster in the making. It has affected 23M Americans, with patients reporting debilitating, difficult-to-diagnose symptoms. Long Covid's financial toll, stemming from the labor gap, disability benefits, life insurance, household debt, and more, could reach $3.7T, rivaling the cost of the Great Depression.
