TIME (6/9, Ducharme) reports, “In recent months, a small but growing number of people with Long COVID – the name adopted by those who develop lingering health problems after catching the virus – are experiencing improvements.” Experts “believe somewhere between 10% and 30% of COVID-19 patients develop long-term symptoms, including fatigue, chronic pain, brain fog, shortness of breath and gastrointestinal problems, though the severity of these can vary.” Dr. Federico Cerrone “is a pulmonologist and the co-medical director of Atlantic Health’s COVID Recovery Center in New Jersey, which has treated about 500 Long COVID patients since it opened in October 2020.” Cerrone says, “There seem to be some individual success stories, but I don’t know if I could tell you that one thing fits all. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t work. We’ve learned a lot, but there’s still a lot to learn.”
