14% of Americans have Long Covid – and that’s a conservative count. 4 out of 5 of them have symptoms that impact their daily activities. People can’t work or take care of their families. We need to put the pedal to the metal on researching treatment.

Most adult Americans who are experiencing long COVID-19 are struggling to perform daily activities, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

[ SEE: Latest Coronavirus and Vaccine News ]
Federal data published by the CDC on Wednesday found that 15% of adults who previously had a COVID-19 infection are currently experiencing symptoms of long COVID as of Sept. 26.

Of those adults with long COVID, 81% report that their long-term symptoms from the condition have reduced their ability to carry out day-to-day activities. A quarter of the adults with long COVID said that the limitations were “significant.”

The highest rate of daily activity limitations come from the 18-29 age group, while the lowest rate comes from the 40-49 age group.

The survey’s results mean that over 18 million adult Americans are currently experiencing symptoms of long COVID and 15 million have problems performing daily activities because of it.
