The “Persistent Gaps” section of this new 🇨🇦 report on long covid is killing me.
Definitions and clinical guidance, sub-populations (how different groups are impacted), care and treatment, pathogenesis (underlying biological mechanisms and causes), socio-economic impact, and prevention. That’s… the whole thing. Long covid is one big gap. Laugh/cry.
I am happy to see they at least mentioned prevention this time. The previous reports that detailed how long covid was common, disabling, and permanent but somehow inevitable filled me with so much rage.
The new “recommended priority action” to “incentivize investment in improving indoor air quality in buildings where large numbers of people gather” is belated but good!
