Despite mass vaccinations and lower rates of infections in the U.S., the post-COVID-19 recovery is far from over.

Our guests are Dr. Jonathan Sherin, director of Mental Health for Los Angeles County, and Fiona Lowenstein, a COVID-19 survivor who started a support group for those who continue to endure its aftermath.
