Here are some stats re Ontario:

The term long COVID refers to some 200 symptoms that can develop in people who have had COVID-19 including neurological, cardiac, respiratory and many others.

Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table estimated earlier this year that between 57,000 and 78,000 people in the province have experienced Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome, another name for long COVID. That range is likely to have grown.

And:

“In order to plan for a potential increase in use of health-care resources post-COVID-19, the health care system needs to understand PACS (post-acute COVID syndrome) in recovering patients. Knowledge of the risk factors associated with the development of PACS may be able to assist with following individuals at risk of further morbidity and direct resources appropriately.”

The Public Health Ontario review found a prevalence of PACS ranging from about 51 per cent to 80 per cent of patients following COVID-19.

And the final one...what a cruel joke:

The federal government committed $20 million to long COVID research in its most recent budget but Kutcher said that is nowhere near what is needed to better understand and treat it.

“There is a real urgency to get going on this basic science and getting prepared for long COVID.”

So, wonder if we'll be on our knees for a part of that $20 million?
