Episode: Living with Long COVID
Description: The federal COVID emergency will officially end on Thursday. But for those living with long COVID, the end of the pandemic couldnât feel farther from reality. Dubbed by some as a âmass disabling event,â long COVID has left millions of Americans unable to work and stuck navigating the system of disability benefits in order to survive. Doctors and researchers have yet to pin down the exact cause of long COVID. Meanwhile, patients feel that not enough has been done to help find an effective treatment.Guest: Keith Mizuguchi, producer for KQEDâs The California ReportÂ
