Many employers have a long Covid problem, making it more challenging to hire and retain employees and to support their productivity. In 2022, economics professors at Harvard University, estimated that long Covid costs the U.S. economy between $160 billion and $200 billion per year in lost wages and increased medical costs. In 2023, the Brookings Institution reported that 700,000 people were absent from the U.S. labor force due to the illness. The adults with Long Covid that are still working, may work fewer hours, or struggle with tasks that used to be easy for them, or both. In 2024, 6.9% of U.S. adults — 17.8 million people — have long Covid https://lnkd.in/gFvPpyVi

https://lnkd.in/euqQqyxT Reinfection of COVID-19 Can Trigger Long Covid Reinfection, which is now the dominant type of SARS-CoV-2 infection, is not inconsequential; it can trigger de novo Long Covid or exacerbate its severity. Each reinfection contributes additional risk of Long Covid: Cumulatively, two infections yield a higher risk of Long Covid than one infection, and three infections yield a higher risk than two infections. Evidence from multiple studies with 2 to 3 years of follow-up indicates prolonged risk for many sequelae and that spontaneous recovery or return to baseline status is uncommon. Extended follow-up of the 1918 influenza pandemic, poliomyelitis outbreaks, and Epstein-Barr virus infections has demonstrated that new, disabling sequelae of these infections can occur multiple decades later.
