"Long COVID Has Caused Thousands of US Deaths: New CDC Data"
"More than 5000 Americans have died from long COVID since the start of the pandemic, according to new estimates from the CDC."
"Long covid" in this article appears to be umbrella term used for anyone with symptoms remaining after acute Covid. Not sure whether it includes any patients with ME/CFS from Covid.
There are 3 courses in this CME series:
"A Fresh Look at Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Diagnosis and Management of a Multisystem Illness"
"Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Case-Based Learning Module"
"Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Test Your Strengths and Gaps in Knowledge"
