Last week marked five years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.

As we look back on the past half decade, we discuss some of the most significant research developments and the continued threat of COVID-19 to public health.

Plus, long COVID is impacting around 400 million people worldwide, including millions of Americans. We talk about navigating disability, the challenges of accessing care, and how one publication is attempting to rewrite the narrative around the disease.

Guests:

  • Dr. Eric Topol, professor of medicine and executive vice president, Scripps Research Translational Institute
