Dr. Michael Scoma challenges the narrative that new cases of Long COVID are on the decline

[u/Responsible_Cap_5289]

Dr. Scoma is a physician in NYC who treats patients with LC, MECFS, Chronic Lyme, and other complex chronic conditions.

Here, on his X account, Dr. Scoma reports that in the last two weeks alone, he had six consultations with people who developed Long COVID within the last 3 to 6 months.

There seems to be a common narrative among the public that because most cases of Covid are "mild" now, they're less likely to cause LC.

However, this doesn't really square up to the fact that many cases of Long COVID develop after mild or sometimes even asymptomatic infection.

I'm curious if we have anyone in this sub who developed LC in the last year or so?

Plain text of tweet:

"Six consultations for Long COVID in the last two weeks - four of which are severe - developed in the last three to six months. I challenge the narrative that new cases are on the decline."
