Expansion of the therapy studies for long covid diseases - free voters demand more research

to tomorrow's “International Long Covid Awareness Day”, the free voters are calling for an expansion of the therapy studies in the Post/Long Covid diseases area. According to the population studies from Great Britain and Canada, at least 3 percent of the Long Covid population are affected. Since there are more than 200 different symptoms, the diagnosis is still difficult. The free voters therefore support an expansion of research funding, especially in the area of ​​biomedical and clinical research. In addition, the clinical pictures should be integrated more into medical and nursing education and training.

The people affected before pandemic in Germany suffered from long-term diseases such as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which almost followed almost every second post-covid disease. According to estimates, 4 million Post-Covid patients in Germany are currently affected, of which almost 1 million of them are unable to work due to Long Covid. The economic damage is estimated at over 40 billion euros per year.

So far, only 31 million euros have been provided for therapy studies by the Ministry of Research and Health, while over 2 billion euros were spent on researching Covid itself. This leads to an urgent need for rethinking in the affected ministries, given the high level of suffering of those affected and the massive economic costs. So far there has been no approved curative treatment or healing for Long Covid.

In order to sensitize all actors in the healthcare system for the concerns of Post/Long Covid diseases, the free voters use the International Long Covid Awareness Day as an action day.

This article has dealt with the demands of the free voters, which require an expansion of the therapy studies and increased research funding in relation to post/long covid diseases. It is emphasized that at least 3 percent of the Long Covid population are affected and that the diagnosis is difficult due to the large number of symptoms.

In addition, the long-term effects of post-covid diseases such as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are pointed out, which can occur in almost half of post-covid patients and can lead to significant restrictions.

For example,

historical facts about Long Covid could indicate the effects of the Spanish flu of 1918, in which many surviving long -term health problems had. The comparison of such historical events could illustrate why increased research and therapy development for Long Covid is of great importance.

In a table, additional information about the financial support for therapy studies could be listed compared to research for Covid yourself in order to illustrate the difference in investment needs.

budget 31 million euros over 2 billion euros

The table shows the difference in financial support for therapy studies at Long Covid compared to research for Covid itself. It is emphasized that the current investment in therapy studies is insufficient and that an increase is required to meet the needs of those affected.

It is important to note that Long Covid was already widespread before pandemic in Germany and that there are historical precedent for long -term health problems after a serious illness such as the Spanish flu from 1918. These historical facts could help readers to understand the background and the relevance of the demands of the free voters.

It remains to be seen how political decision -makers react to the demands of the free voters and whether further measures are taken to promote research and therapy development for Long Covid.
