In this week's podcast, hosted by Suhail Akram, we look at the phenomenon of "long-haulers" or "long-termers" – people who have recovered from Covid-19 but continue to experience symptoms weeks or even months later. Diana Berrent, founder of Survivor Corps – a Facebook group with 90,000 members who discuss Covid-19 and its symptoms and seek each other's help – tells us about her experience with long-term symptoms of the disease. Dr Natalie Lambert, associate research professor of medicine at Indiana University, partnered with Survivor Corps to research these long-haul cases. She explains why we need to take cues from patient experiences and carefully understand what they need to recover. <br/> We also hear from Marcus Tomoff, a long-hauler who describes how his life changed ever since he got a false negative.
