A year has come and gone since COVID-19 hit New York. New York locals who caught the virus early March 2020 are still experiencing “long hauler” symptoms in 2021.
Dr. David Putrino, Director of rehabilitation Innovation for the Mount Sinai Health has researched “long-haul” patients. He has reported 90% of participants with an average age of 42, not severely affected or hospitalized still have lingering affects that compromises their quality of life after COVID-19.
There has been reports of individuals that suffered from COVID-19 a year ago still struggle with nervous system issues consisting of inflammation and misfiring that affects daily live skills and activities.
Even though many who has contracted COVID-19 symptoms vary in so many ways other than hospitalization, we are seeing that long-haulers may last anywhere from 60 days to a year that not only cause organ damage, but also the brain and nervous system damage.
