Many patients who have survived coronavirus continue to wrestle with a range of physical or mental effects. The need for care as these patients recover has jump-started post-Covid clinics, which bring together a range of specialists into a one-stop-shop.

Clarence Troutman survived a two-month hospital stay with Covid-19, and then went home in early June. But he's far from over the disease, still suffering from limited endurance, shortness of breath and hands that can be stiff and swollen.

"Before Covid, I was a 59-year-old, relatively healthy man," said the broadband technician from Denver."If I had to say where I'm at now, I'd say about 50% of where I was, but when I first went home, I was at 20%.

"In the early days, there may have been questions about how much value does this add," he noted."Now, the question is not so much is it a good idea, but is it feasible?"Right now, the post-Covid centers are foremost a research effort, said Len Nichols, an economist and nonresident fellow at the Urban Institute."If these guys get good at treating long-term symptoms, that's good for all of us," Nichols said.
