An estimated 44.7 million to 48.0 million Americans (~10%) are affected by long COVID.

The model estimates the annual cost per person with long COVID to be between $5,084 and $11,646, mainly from lost productivity.
www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/ana...
Here are the main points from the article "Analysis shows significant financial burden of long COVID in US": 1. **Financial Impact**: Managing long COVID cases in the US could cost employers between $1.99 billion and $6.49 billion annually. 2. **Affected Population**: An estimated 44.7 million to 48.0 million Americans are affected by long COVID. 3. **Cost Per Person**: The model estimates the annual cost per person with long COVID to be between $5,084 and $11,646. 4. **Productivity Losses**: About 92.5% to 95.2% of these costs come from productivity losses, with men experiencing higher productivity losses. 5. **Economic Comparison**: The economic burden of long COVID already surpasses that of conditions like carpal tunnel, Lyme disease, and psoriasis. 6. **Future Growth**: The number of people suffering from long COVID is expected to grow as the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues circulating. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/analysis-shows-significant-financial-burden-long-covid-us
