Dr Ziyad Al-Aly is chief of research and development at the Veteran Affairs St. Louis healthcare system and a clinical epidemiologist at Washington University in St. Louis.  Direct access to both Long Covid patients and the Veteran Affairs health care records enables Al-Aly to have led some of the most impactful research and studies into Long Covid. From the long term neurological outcomes and the risk of diabetes, to the impact on the heart, Al-Aly’s studies paint a serious picture of the long term damage caused by Covid-19.  And his findings on the risks associated with reinfection would make anyone take measures to avoid contracting the disease.Living with Long Covid?
