'I was in a wheelchair when the doctor at Hopkins told me I had long COVID,” Liely said. “I just broke down and cried. The validation was the biggest thing for me.'
Over and over, Mesha Liely was told that it was all in her head. That she was just a woman prone to exaggeration. That she had anxiety. That she simply needed to get more rest and take better care of herself.
"I was in a wheelchair when the doctor at Hopkins told me I had long COVID," Liely said."I just broke down and cried. The validation was the biggest thing for me." There were also racial and ethnic disparities among patients with milder COVID cases. Among people who weren't hospitalized, Black adults were more likely to have blood clots in their lungs, chest pain, joint pain, anemia, or be malnourished. Hispanic adults were more likely than white adults to have dementia, headaches, anemia, chest pain, and diabetes.
Nonwhite patients were more apt to have hourly jobs or be essential workers without any ability to telecommute to avoid COVID during the height of the pandemic, Khullar said. They're also more likely to live in close quarters with family members or roommates and face long commutes on public transit, limiting their options for social distancing.
"They basically push through their symptoms for too long without getting care either because they don't see a doctor at all or because the doctor they do see doesn't do anything to help" said Azola, who diagnosed Mesha Liely with long COVID."By the time they get to me, their symptoms are much worse than they needed to be."
