Chicago is seeing its lowest COVID-19 hospital admission rates for the entire pandemic. But it’s not all good news about the illness that once shut down the world.
Giancarlo Jusino Sánchez, seen on Chicago's West Van Buren Street on July 13, 2023, had a relatively mild case of COVID-19 but then suffered with long COVID.
Both Illinois and Chicago are below the similarly declining national average in hospital admissions, Arwady said. The percentages of Chicago hospital beds and emergency room visits being used to treat COVID-19 patients are also at or near their lowest levels, she added. “We are actually ramping up, because nowadays, even if it’s not filling up hospitals with sick patients with pneumonia, COVID-19 is still affecting thousands of people,” said Dr. Igor Koralnik, the center’s co-director.The study the center released analyzing the long COVID treatment of over 1,800 patients across eight years reported a mix of medical issues, including lasting brain fog, shortness of breath and chest pain.
“You will have many patients come to us still in good numbers to fill up our clinics,” Sala said, “with symptoms that are enough to be disabling to their lives as previously known.” People started to notice. A manager encouraged him to rest. He couldn’t tackle tourist activities when his mom visited Chicago. Moving around was difficult. He felt feverish in sudden bursts and had headaches and muscle soreness all the time. For months, he couldn’t sleep through the night, and his anxiety exploded, he said.Six months after first becoming ill, he took medical leave from his graduate program and began to visit the Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive COVID-19 Center.
