It took a year, but Gwyneth Paltrow figured out how to exploit the pandemic - Ars Technica

Some of those infected will develop long-term effects, suffering lingering symptoms for weeks to months—or maybe longer.

A project to track COVID symptoms in the UK estimates that 10 percent of those infected have symptoms beyond two weeks.

Looking just at previously healthy people ages 18 to 34 in that survey, CDC researchers found that 20 percent had prolonged symptoms.

According to other studies, people who are hospitalized with COVID-19 may have a much higher risk of long COVID.

Regardless of the exact percentages, the absolute number of people with long-term effects is bound to be substantial, likely into the millions—just in the US.

With some early reports suggesting nondescript symptoms like fatigue, it may be hard to untangle cases of long COVID from other health problems.

And with the testing barriers in the US, many people might have long COVID who never tested positive for the virus to begin with, creating the challenge for doctors to retroactively diagnose them.

Gwyneth Paltrow sure does.

In a recent blog post, Paltrow revealed that she fell ill with COVID-19 “early on” in the pandemic and is now suffering from long COVID.

In fact, she has even found an evidence-free but certainly effective treatment regimen for her long COVID.

Gwyneth Paltrow has nailed long COVID.
