"The latest CDC data on long COVID in U.S. adults and an alarming World Health
Organization (WHO) statement about its long-term impact underscore the
pandemic's lingering and debilitating effects. Like the satirical film "Don't
Look Up," in which scientists couldn't focus media or politicians on the
climate crisis, most Americans are content to avert their eyes from the long
COVID crisis. Meanwhile, the millions now missing from public life because of
it have no choice but to stare down the gamut of its sweeping sequelae.
As an NIH-funded researcher, I study child feeding and sleep, and co-direct the
University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. For years I have
been an ally to families who have advocated for individuals with disabilities.
As a mother, I've now become an advocate and supporter for my daughter as she
fights a daily unseen battle and continues to struggle with long COVID, 3 years
after contracting the SARS-COV-2 virus. In fact, the average person loses 21%
of their health while living with long COVID — equivalent to traumatic brain
injury."
