"Shopping at a greenhouse with her father left Beth Wood unable to leave her
Halifax home for days.
“It’s Wednesday, and I can barely get out of my chair still,” the 63-year-old
said, two days after the trip. The day before, she was too tired to cook her
usual frozen meals and opted for Popsicles instead.
But the exhaustion did not concern her.
“It’s predictable,” she said. “I knew that that would be what I’d be doing this
week.”
Such has been Wood’s life since first experiencing long COVID symptoms in 2022.
She was formally diagnosed with long COVID in 2024, the same year she
officially stopped working, ending a more than 30-year career in social work
and community development.
Government estimates peg the number of Canadians experiencing long COVID
symptoms at 2.1 million, although it last collected this data in June 2023.
And yet, despite the high numbers, doctors and researchers say public interest
in the condition is low.
“Most people want to not think about [COVID] anymore,” said Dr. Satish Raj, a
Calgary cardiologist who regularly sees long COVID patients and University of
Calgary professor. “People want to move on.”
But for Wood and those like her, moving past the virus is impossible."
