A scientific review of the world's research into long Covid carried out by a team of leading UK researchers has led them to declare the burden of the post-infection condition "so large as to be unfathomable".
The review was published in Nature, and said that if 10 percent of acute infections lead to persistent symptoms (as earlier studies have concluded could be the case), up to 400 million people could be in need of support for long Covid worldwide

  Prof Danny Altmann: the burden of long COVID
  
  World leading immunologist Professor Danny Altmann has declared the future burden of long COVID to be "so large as to be unfathomable". He has published a scientific review of long COVID in Nature, asserting if 10% of acute infections lead to persistent symptoms, up to 400 million people could be in need of support for long COVID worldwide. While the Australian government has allocated $50m for long COVID research, in New Zealand there has been zero investment for bio-medical long COVID research to understand and treat the condition. Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Immunology and Inflammation at Imperial College London, Professor Altmann has been studying T cells for four decades, and is interested in why people suffer debilitating consequences so long after COVID infection.
