They have been talking about & looking into problems people have been having after having Covid. They're calling them "Long Haulers".
The list of long hauler symptoms is long, wide and inconsistent. For some people, the lasting
coronavirus symptoms are nothing like the original symptoms when they were first infected with COVID-19. The most common long hauler symptoms include:
- Coughing
- Ongoing, sometimes debilitating, fatigue
- Body aches
- Joint pain
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of taste and smell — even if this didn’t occur during the height of illness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Headaches
- Brain fog
Brain fog is among the most confusing symptoms for long haulers. Patients report being unusually forgetful, confused or unable to concentrate even enough to watch TV. This can happen to people who were in an intensive care unit for a while, but it’s relatively rare. However, it is happening to a variety of patients, including those who weren’t hospitalized.
Some people have reported feeling better for days or even weeks then relapsing. For others, it’s a case of just not feeling like themselves.
