Long Covid is very real, and thousands of Americans living with it feel very abandoned by the government. PCR tests and high quality masks should still be freely available to all, we need to reinstate mask mandates in healthcare settings, and effective air filtration for all public transportation, buildings, and businesses should be mandated.

Yes, that‘s why surgeons don‘t wear masks, because they don‘t work (sarcasm).

People not using EFFECTIVE masks, worn properly, that's a problem. I still see people with clear shield masks, wide open breathing unfiltered air around them. And the cloth "neck gators" do not do well enough either.

The new school year should start with an air purifier in every classroom.

Thank you! And it’s actually millions of Americans living with it (and counting) who have been abandoned. This is an issue that will affect every family soon enough.

How about supporting some research into treatment too?

"and thousands of Americans living with it feel very abandoned by the government." Change thousands to millions. And the ranks of LC sufferers will continue growing as reinfections pile up.

Thank you, Marianne. No one else will even mention these things.
