In response to a July 9th press conference question about the long terms effects COVID-19 and the risk of “long haulers” developing myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), Dr Anthony Fauci from the National Institutes for Health (NIH) said there is a natural history study where people are asking, and hopefully answering the question.
Dr Fauci stated “ If you look anecdotally there is no question that there are a considerable number of individuals who have a post-viral syndrome that really in many respects can incapacitate them for weeks and weeks following so-called recovery and clearing of the virus….you can see people who’ve recovered who really do not get back to normal that they have things that are highly suggestive of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome.”
