'The current number of long COVID-19 cases may already be costing the U.S.
$2.01–6.56 billion dollars per year, according to a study recently published in
the
Journal of Infectious Diseases.
The study also showed that each long COVID case tended to cost society between
$5,084 and $11,646. These estimates are based on a computer simulation model
developed by the Public Health Informatics, Computational and Operations
Research (PHICOR) team based at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and
Health Policy (CUNY SPH) working with researchers from the CUNY Institute for
Implementation Science in Population Health (ISPH) and Baylor College of
Medicine.
"Our results quantify the already significant burden of long COVID on society,"
says the study's senior author, CUNY SPH Professor Bruce Y. Lee, MD, MBA,
executive director of PHICOR and the CUNY SPH Center for Advanced Technology
and Communication in Health (CATCH).
"This includes productivity losses that are hitting businesses around the
country and health care costs that are further straining our health care
system. These costs could end up trickling down to everyone who pays insurance
premiums and taxes."'
