A priest, a police officer, and a politician — each is living with long COVID in 2026 • New Hampshire Bulletin

Most people who contract COVID-19 recover from their symptoms within days or weeks. However, for some people, the illness turns from a viral infection into a long-term chronic condition called long COVID.

"The editorial — titled 'Robert F. Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure' — appears in the latest issue of the Lancet.

"The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm.'"
