Long-time Lisa Gray listeners might remember a July 2020 Coronavirus Chronicle interview with Katie Haynes -- one of the United States’ first COVID long-haulers. In February 2020, she was 28 years old and training to run a 5K. In early March she was hospitalized with COVID and a blood clot in her lung. When Lisa talked with her in July, just standing up to cook herself dinner left Katie exhausted and out of breath.
Wondered how Katie is doing, Lisa gave her a call. The answer is surprising -- and also delightful and hard to explain. Katie had contract Covid a second time and once again Katie Haynes’ life is way out ahead of scientific certainties.
