Using AI, Harvard investigators now suggest that the prevalence of Long CoVid is 3-fold higher than once thought.  A Mass General Brigham medical informatics study just published in the journal Cell reviewed data from over 295,000 Massachusetts patients.


The data revealed a Long CoVid prevalence of 23%.  Previous estimates pegged that prevalence at around 7%.  The use of AI permitted a rapid and accurate record review eliminating other conditions that clouded an accurate diagnosis.


This new information underscores the need to avoid contracting CoVid.  If you haven’t already, do obtain the latest CoVid vaccine and plan to be re-vaccinated 2 to 3 times a year depending upon your age and other medical issues.
