Millions unable to work
Of the 16 million working-age Americans currently suffering from Long Covid, 2-4 million are out of work because of their illness, according to analysis by the Brookings Institution based on U.S. Census Bureau data.
The annual cost of those lost wages is $170 billion a year, not including reduced productivity from people working while sick, health care costs, or stopping work to care for family.
