The latest studies show Long Covid is still growing quite fast. In the UK the GP Patient survey (of 2 million patients) had 5% knowing they suffered and a further 10% unsure if they did. A similar question put to NHS healthcare workers came back with 38% sure they had Long Covid. Both numbers are well up from the year before.

So while death rates are in the hundreds a week which is a lot less than when the pandemic started the chronic disease aspect is continuing.

The pandemic is not over, the WHO says it's still going and is a mass disabling event. We really need that Long Covid and sterilising vaccine research and quickly.
