“Previous studies estimate that between 10% and 30% of adults infected with COVID-19 develop long-term symptoms, with neurological and cognitive complaints among the most common.”
Patients with long COVID in the US reported far higher rates of brain fog, depression and cognitive symptoms than patients in the other countries.
The higher US symptom burden may reflect lower stigma and greater access to neurological and mental health care, rather than more severe disease.

This could put even more pressure on the dollar and ultimately be a drag on growth.
