COVID-19 Community Survey Report – NORD Rare Insights
source: National Organization for Rare Disorders
summary/abstract:The novel coronavirus, and the disease that it causes, COVID-19, is causing significant challenges for millions of Americans living with rare diseases. People with underlying conditions are at risk of more severe illness from COVID-19, and rare disease patients, their caregivers and family members are seeing their lives disrupted in numerous other ways.
The National Organization for Rare Disorders conducted a community survey in early April to help understand and bring these issues to light and to support the development of resources that address concerns raised by respondents.
