2. Maybe someone you know has survived COVID-19 but has not bounced back to their normal state of health. Medical professionals are providing help for patients suffering with long-term COVID-19 effects. "For most patients dealing with post-COVID conditions — also known as 'long COVID' or 'chronic COVID' — they're commonly experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty breathing, troubles with exertion and exercise, headaches, and a chronic cough," said Lucy Horton, an infectious disease specialist and associate professor of medicine at UCSD Health. Others have difficulty with brain fog which makes it impossible for them to return to their former jobs. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (fox5sandiego.com)
