Oh nein! 😢
Gute Besserung!

Wenn jemand krank zu sein scheint: geht! Lasst den Termin platzen und verlasst den Raum.
Wenn euer Gegenüber kein Verantworrungsbewusstsein hat, müsst ihr für euch selber sorgen.

To sum it up
-Long COVID & ME/CFS cost Germany €63.1 billion in 2024
-Cases increase over time under the status quo (lack of prevention & cures)
-Levels of funding for research, care & treatment of ME/CFS & Long COVID remain too low

What's the plan for prevention & research, @bmg-bund.bsky.social?

But: "general efforts and levels of funding allocated to advance and improve the research, care and treatment of ME/CFS historically, and both ME/CFS and Long COVID to the present day, remain disproportionately low compared with similarly burdensome diseases"

And: "The ME/CFS caseload will likely continue to increase, mostly driven by a continued progression from the pool of Long COVID cases to ME/CFS cases and low recovery rates. Long COVID cases may also increase over time under the current scenario of repeat SARS-CoV-2 infections."

According to the study:
"between 2020 and 2024, Long COVID and ME/CFS cost Germany more than €250 billion. In 2024 alone, Long COVID and ME/CFS cost Germany €63.1 billion, equating to 1.5% of the nation's GDP"

Where is the money for cures & prevention?
