This is a very debilitating condition with serious cognitive conditions.” In Putrino’s study researchers examined how long Covid can affect people’s ability to work, and they found nearly half of all “long-haulers” surveyed said they were not able to return to full employment. The study also found that nearly two-thirds of long-term Covid patients report “brain fog,” which includes memory loss. Putrino underscored to CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith” that long Covid is a “very real problem,” and that more attention needs to be paid to providing long-term care to impacted patients. “It is affecting people of all ages and it doesn’t seem to discriminate on who it’s going to strike down after an acute event,” said Putrino. “We need to organize, and we need to start getting government groups involved in providing long-term care for patients who have been sick over a year now with no real end in sight.” » Subscribe to CNBC TV: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCtelevision » Subscribe to CNBC: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBC » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCclassic Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
