• This effort grew out a personal desire to turn all the negatives of a pandemic, into something positive.
• Those presenting with "long-term" COVID-19 and its medically uncommon findings attracted attention for someone with my background.
• That includes a career in Medicine, Surgery & related Research that began in 1974.
• This accompanied by a persistent desire to offer help through better understanding.
• Worth the effort? Current estimates of those with a prolonged course of COVID-19 are at least 10% to 20%, and up to 50% of all those with COVID-19. The 50% estimate is probably high, but too early to tack that down more precisely. On December 15, 2020, Johns Hopkins CSSE announced 72,850,994 global cases. So 10% would be over 7 million people involved.
• As the Boys Scouts motto on my uniform used to read: "Be Prepared."

• That interview took place in the form of an online questionnaire:
  • 60 questions
  • 30 minutes to respond, on average
  • questions selected based on established principles & practice of medical history taking

There you have it. Part 1 of the Overview complete.
