Even if you just care about money, it is really a very worthy investment. This. Even from the most cynical callous selfish 'economic efficiency' point of view this still needs to be fixed. Just dumping ever more people on the scrap heap, and worse, is never the answer to any health issue. What is the point of modern medical science if not to understand and fix exactly these kind of problems?
Clifford J. Rosen is the Principal Investigator for the MaineHealth RECOVER site. According to healthrising "An editor for the New England Journal of Medicine, Rosen stated that he wasn’t seeing many good long-COVID papers (ouch!) and actually made a pitch for people at the conference to submit their papers to him." Let's hope RECOVER can deliver at least some quality papers before funding ends.
