"Rising Long COVID Cases and Vulnerable Occupations: New Data and Research Findings"
TL;DR Summary
Long COVID cases have surged, with about 17.4% of surveyed individuals experiencing long COVID in February, up from 14-15% in previous months. The rise is attributed to a spike in winter holiday infections, declining masking and prevention measures, repeat infections, and vaccine apathy. Wastewater monitoring has been a reliable indicator of infection rates, showing a substantial rise in viral levels. Experts emphasize the need for increased vaccination, booster uptake, and antiviral use to combat the surge in long COVID cases.
