Washington: Well-known top scientists of the country have come together to study Long Kovid in America. The whole world is still in the grip of coronavirus. However, in the coming days, fewer infected people are found than before, and people have been given vaccine doses. In such a situation, worrying news is being received that the symptoms of Long Kovid are being seen in those who were infected with this virus. According to a report, one out of every five people in America is found in whom the effect of Long Kovid is being seen.
According to a report by Reuters, the research done in this group has been named “Long Covid Research Initiative.” The purpose of this effort is to know the main reason behind Long Kovid by doing research systematically. Researchers believe that when the views of scientists are shared, then many such things will come out which should be taken into account, and in such a situation, researchers will be able to conduct clinical trials faster. Actually, scientists have been troubled for a long time about whether coronavirus is present in the tissues of patients. And he hopes that this effort will definitely give an answer to it.
The initiative has contributed $15 million from a scientific investment fund formed by Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of the blockchain platform Ethereum. Scientists from Harvard University, Stanford University, University of California, San Francisco, Yale University, and the J. Craig Venter Institute are involved in this effort.
Long COVID is a complex disease. This covid can last for several months after infection and during this time the person suffering from it is unable to work. A study recently published in The Lancet Journal found that chronically infected patients experienced chest pain, shortness of breath, muscle pain, loss of taste and smell, and general fatigue.
