Five Years Later: New Yorkers with Long COVID Juggle Illness and Doubt
Five years ago this March, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a statewide lockdown to prevent the spread of the COVID pandemic. Public schools, restaurants, and non-essential businesses closed down. Hospitals and healthcare workers faced overwhelming numbers of COVID patients and bed shortages.
The long-term toll it has left on people’s lives is immeasurable. More than 7 million people around the world have died from COVID; more than 1.2 million of that number died in the U.S.
While much of the world has reopened, for many – life ‘as usual’ has not resumed. People with Long COVID continue to juggle chronic COVID symptoms and doubt from others. Radio Catskill’s Kimberly Izar reports.
