Al-Aly et al. Nature Med. 30, 2148\u20132164; 2024). These symptoms, which can develop alongside those resulting from diseases of the lungs, heart and other organs, affect patients\u2019 everyday functioning for months or even years following COVID-19. Matthew Fitzgerald, a 28-year-old former engineer at Tesla, described his long-COVID-related impairment during a clinic visit: \u201cI\u2019m a shell of myself.
