Physics Girl Dianna Cowern details severe Long COVID decline and partial recovery

Dianna Cowern, a prominent science YouTuber, developed severe Long COVID after contracting the virus during her 2022 honeymoon. Her condition rapidly deteriorated, leaving her bedbound and unable to speak or read for months. Despite a lack of FDA-approved treatments, experimental therapies eventually allowed her to resume limited work. Cowern now functions at 30-40% of her previous capacity while advocating for better research into post-acute infection syndromes.

YSM Center to Prioritize Post-Acute Infection Syndromes

Yale School of Medicine has launched the Center for Infection & Immunity (CII) to study post-acute infection syndromes, including Long COVID, post-treatment Lyme disease, and ME/CFS. The center aims to provide a greater understanding of the basic science behind infectious diseases and develop prevention strategies. With the prevalence of Long COVID and the urgent need for research, the CII will facilitate collaboration among experts and focus on identifying underlying causes and developing treatments for post-acute infection syndromes.
