News Channel 3 In-Depth: Long Covid – kuna noticias y kuna radio

​​​​​News Channel 3’s Peter Daut is taking an in-depth look into what is called Long Covid, a medical phenomenon that is as real and extensive as it is uncertain and unpredictable.

Long Covid can affect multiple systems and organs, including the brain and heart. Clues about the damage and causes are emerging, but right now doctors and researchers are still trying to find answers.

“We still suffer from symptoms,” Jaishri Mehta said. “The disruption of sleep is terrible, because you’ll be up at any time. Some days you sleep well; some days you don’t.”

What was once understood as a respiratory virus has emerged, for many, as an all-out attack on the system.

“It’s been two years of trying to come back, but it’s always there. It’s always there. The ghost of this covid,” Michael Childers said.

Hear more from Covid survivors about their symptoms, and also what researchers and doctors are saying about the long-term effects of the virus, Thursday at 6PM on News Channel 3.
