The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that approximately 15% of Americans have experienced Long COVID and that over 3500 Americans have died from illnesses related to Long COVID. This webinar will bring together national experts to illuminate what is known about Long COVID, understand the burden on those experiencing it, discuss how the condition is (and is not) being treated, and consider the disability and discrimination implications and the expected economic fallout of Long COVID.
Panelists will discuss these pressing issues and respond to audience questions during this highly interactive webinar.
