Long-term symptoms
Fatigue, shortness of breath, in-
somnia, trouble thinking clearly and
depression are among the many re-
ported symptoms. Organ damage,
including lung scarring and heart
inflammation, have also been seen.
Pinpointing whether these symptom
are directly linked to the virus or per-
haps to some preexisting condition is
among scientists’ tasks.
‘’Is it just a very delayed recovery
or is it something even more alarm-
ing and something that becomes the
new normal?’’ Collins said.
There are a few working theories
for what might be causing persistent
symptoms. One is that the virus re-
mains in the body at undetectable
levels yet still causes tissue or organ
damage. Or it overstimulates the im-
mune system, keeping it from return-
ing to a normal state. A third theory:
Symptoms linger or arise anew when
the virus attacks blood vessels, caus-
ing minute, undetectable blood clots
that can wreak havoc throughout the
body.
Some scientists think each of these

As an African American woman
with diabetes and high blood pres-
sure, she was at high risk for a bad
outcome and knows she’s lucky her
initial illness wasn’t more serious. But
her persistent symptoms and home
confinement got her down and de-
pression set in.
Political and racial unrest that
dominated the news didn’t help, and
church services — often her salvation
— were suspended. She knows all
that could have contributed to her ill
health and says listening to music —
R&B, jazz and a little country — has
helped her cope.
Still, Jefferies wants to know what
role the virus has played.
“I’m a year in, and to still from
time to time have lingering effects, I
just don’t understand that,’’ Jefferies
said.

“We’re faced with a mystery,” said
Dr. Francis Collins, chief of the Na-
tional Institutes of Health.
Is it a condition unique to
COVID-19, or just a variation of the
syndrome that can occur after other
infections? How many people are af-
fected, and how long does it last? Is
it a new form of chronic fatigue syn-
drome — a condition with similar
symptoms?
Or could some symptoms be un-
related to their COVID-19 but a
physical reaction to the upheaval of
this past pandemic year — the lock-
downs, quarantines, isolation, job
losses, racial unrest, political turmoil,
not to mention overwhelming illness
and deaths?
These are the questions facing
scientists as they search for dis-
ease markers, treatments and cures.
With $1 billion from Congress,
Collins’ agency is designing and so-
liciting studies that aim to follow
at least 20,000 people who’ve had
COVID-19.
‘’We’ve never really been faced
with a post-infectious condition of
this magnitude so this is unprece-
dented,’’ Collins said March 8.
“We don’t have time to waste.’’
With nearly 30 million U.S. cases
of COVID-19 and 119 million world-
wide, the impact could be staggering,
even if only a small fraction of pa-
tients develop long-term problems.

On the same day a pandemic was declared, Rachel Van Lear, of Buda, Texas, developed
symptoms of COVID-19. A year later, she’s still waiting for them to disappear.
‘’Is it just a very delayed
recovery or is it something
even more alarming and
something that becomes the
new normal?’’
— Dr. Francis Collins, chief of the
National Institutes of Health
may occur in different people.
Dr. Steven Deeks, an infectious
disease specialist at the University
of California, San Francisco, said re-
searchers first need to create a widely
accepted definition of the syndrome.
Estimates are “all over the map be-
cause no one is defining it in the
same way,’’ he said.
Deeks is leading one study, collect-
ing blood and saliva samples from
volunteers who will be followed for
up to two years.
Some people develop long-term
problems even when their initial in-
fections were silent. Deeks said some
evidence suggests that those who
initially get sicker from a coronavi-
rus infection might be more prone
to persistent symptoms, and women
seem to develop them more than
men, but those observations need to
be confirmed, Deeks said.
Van Lear says she was in great
shape when she got sick. At 35, the

suburban Austin woman had no
other health issues and was a busy
mother of three who often worked
out. First came a chest cold, then
a high fever. A flu test came back
negative, so her doctor tested for
COVID-19. Soon after she developed
blinding headaches, debilitating fa-
tigue and nausea so severe that she
needed emergency room treatment.
‘’I was very scared because no one
could tell me what was going to hap-
pen to me,’’ Van Lear said.
Over the next several months,
symptoms would come and go: burn-
ing lungs, a rapid heartbeat, dizzy
spells, hand tremors and hair loss.
While most have disappeared, she
still deals with an occasional racing
heartbeat. Heart monitoring, blood-
work and other tests have all been
normal.
‘Don’t brush me off’
Fatigue, fever, and no taste or smell
were Karla Jefferies’ first symptoms
after testing positive last March. Then
came brain fog, insomnia, a nagging
smell of something burning that only
recently disappeared, and intermit-
tent ringing in her ears. Now she can’t
hear out of her left ear.
Doctors can’t find anything to ex-
plain it, and she bristles when some
doctors dismiss her symptoms.
‘’I understand that COVID is
something that we’re all going
through together but don’t brush me
off,’’ said Jefferies, 64, a retired state
Survivor Corps
Jefferies and Van Lear are mem-
bers of Survivor Corps, one of several
online support groups created during
the pandemic and that have amassed
thousands of members. Some are en-
rolling in studies to help speed the
science.
Dr. Michael Sneller is leading one
study at the NIH. So far, 200 have en-
rolled; they include survivors and a
healthy comparison group.
They are being given a series of
physical and mental tests once or
twice a year for three years. Other
tests are seeking signs of ongoing in-
flammation, abnormal antibodies
and blood vessel damage.
Sneller said he’s found no serious
heart or lung tissue damage so far.
He notes that many viruses can cause
mild heart inflammation, even some
cold viruses. Many people recover
but in severe cases the condition can
lead to heart failure.
Fatigue is the most common
symptom in the coronavirus group,
and so far researchers have found no
medical explanation for it. Insomnia
is common, too — in both groups.
Sneller says that’s not surprising.
“The whole pandemic and lock-
down affected all of us,” he said.
“There’s a lot of anxiety in the control
group too.’’
Many have symptoms similar to
chronic disease syndrome; and to
a condition involving fatigue and
thinking difficulties that can develop
after treatment for Lyme disease, a
bacterial infection spread by certain
ticks.
Researchers are hopeful that stud-
ies of long-term COVID-19 may
yield answers to what causes those
conditions, too.

VACCINATIONS
Where the numbers stand
100 million
The U.S. achieved a milestone of
administering more than 100 million
COVID-19 shots as of the end of the
week, with 66 million people having
received at least a first dose of the
vaccine.
2.3 million
This many doses are being given
in the U.S. each day, a figure that is
likely to rise significantly in coming
weeks with the rollout of Johnson &
Johnson’s one-dose vaccine.
7 weeks
That’s about how long we have until
vaccine eligibility is available to all
American adults, if President Joe
Biden gets his way, with the goal of
allowing small groups to gather by
July 4. A Bloomberg News analysis
of vaccine manufacturers’ delivery
timelines estimated there would be
enough vaccine to cover more than
200 million Americans by that time,
and drugmakers have been working
to accelerate timetables.

Fauci urges Trump to convince
Republicans on vaccinations
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday
he wishes former President Don-
ald Trump would use his popularity
among Republicans to persuade his fol-
lowers to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
In a round of interviews on the
morning news shows, the govern-
ment’s top infectious disease expert
lamented polling showing that Trump
supporters are more likely to refuse to
get vaccinated, saying politics needs
to be separated from “commonsense,
no-brainer” public health measures.
Fauci said it would be a “game
changer” for the country’s vaccine ef-
forts if the former president used his
“incredible influence” among Repub-
licans.
Trump has urged people to get vac-
cinated, doing so again late last month
at a conservative political gathering in
Florida. It was revealed only recently
that he was vaccinated in private at
the White House before leaving office
in January.
Polls have shown Republicans join-
ing Black people and other groups in
expressing greater skepticism than
others about the safety of the vaccine.
