There is no consensus on how long Covid symptoms last, and some doctors even doubt that it is real. Yet with a large number of people having Covid-19, and estimates of 7.7 million to 23 million long-term Covid patients in the US alone, researchers say it has the potential to be “the next public health disaster”.
