Encore: Long Covid Awareness Two-Night Special

A METROFOCUS SPECIAL TWO-NIGHT EVENT: THE LONG COVID HEALTH CRISIS: NIGHT 2

March is Long Covid Awareness Month.

Our two-night special coverage on long COVID continues, and this evening we focus on the possible causes and debilitating effects of this condition. Why do some people with long COVID have symptoms which seem to last so long? What is being done to help the millions of Americans now suffering from it, and what more can we be doing? Joining us again for this discussion are Kevin Devine, a Staten Island resident who after two years is still struggling with long COVID; Diana Berrent, a Long Island activist, advocate, and founder of Survivor Corps, the largest long COVID support and advocacy group in the nation; and Dr. Rainu Kaushal, Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Research at Weill Cornell Medicine, who is spearheading a multimillion-dollar study on long COVID and is one of the medical leaders selected for the NIH Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) initiative.
