'Jayson Cuming feels like he is living in limbo.

Mr Cuming contracted COVID-19 in June 2020 — well before he had a chance to be
vaccinated — and two years on, still wakes every day to severe exhaustion, pain
and brain fog.

The 35-year-old spends his days moving between bed and couch. Occasionally, if
he can manage it, he will get up to walk around his rental house in Melbourne's
north.

Life has crashed to a halt — and there is no indication it will start up again
any time soon.

"Most days, it's just a wait and see if there's any new medical advice coming
out for possible treatments or … hoping the government does something that
might help," he said.'
