Episode description
We’re more than three years out now from the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and it’s fair to say that we have made some progress in taming this disease: A combination of vaccines, treatments and natural immunity have combined together to drive down the daily death rate to a fraction of what it was during the Omicron surge.
But when it comes to long Covid, answers have been much harder to find. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we check in with experts and advocates about what support is out there, and why they're growing frustrated with the pace of research into this bewildering ailment.
Guests:
- Jim Jackson, neuropsychologist, Vanderbilt University | author, "Clearing the Fog: From Surviving to Thriving with Long Covid?A Practical Guide"
- Charlie McCone, a patient advocate who has been living with long Covid since March of 2020
Host: Keith Menconi
