As of January 2024, 17% of American adults have reported experiencing symptoms of Long COVID according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics—up from an estimated 14% in fall of 2023. Almost 3%, or 7 million, U.S. adults are immunocompromised in some way—and some people who are immunocompromised don’t get sufficient protection from COVID-19 vaccines, according to research from Johns Hopkins. Data from a 2022 Brookings study estimated that Long COVID was keeping an estimated 4 million Americans out of work. Fisher says she struggles to get people around her to understand what Long COVID is, and that task is only growing more challenging as the pandemic fades out of the public conversation. “How do I talk about it when people just want to forget about it?” she says. “I don't get to forget. I live with it every single day. My body lives with it, my mind lives with it. But how do you bring that into conversation?”
