Checking In on the Latest Covid Science (Again)

We’re more than three years out now from the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and it’s fair to say that we have made some progress in taming this disease: A combination of vaccines, treatments and natural immunity have combined together to drive down the daily death rate to a fraction of what it was during the Omicron surge. 

But when it comes to long Covid, answers have been much harder to find. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we check in with experts and advocates about what support is out there, and why they're growing frustrated with the pace of research into this bewildering ailment. 

Guests: 
Jim Jackson, neuropsychologist, Vanderbilt University | author, "Clearing the Fog: From Surviving to Thriving with Long Covid―A Practical Guide"
Charlie McCone, a patient advocate who has been living with long Covid since March of 2020

Finding support for long Covid

Earlier this month, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a warning about a new epidemic facing Americans, an epidemic of loneliness and isolation. 

So if loneliness is an epidemic, what’s the cure? On this edition of KCBS In Depth we hear advice from one author that is simple but not necessarily easy to follow: hang out more.  

Guests: 
Sheila Liming, professor who teaches writing and literature, Champlain College | author, “Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time”
Jamie Snedden, cofounder, Groundfloor

Have we forgotten how to hang out?

Nearly 50 years ago a Korean American immigrant named Chol Soo Lee was convicted of a murder in San Francisco’s Chinatown that he did not commit. Lee spent ten years in prison after that arrest, and very possibly might have spent his whole life there if it were not for the dogged advocacy of Asian American activists who saw in his case a grave injustice born of racism and indifference.

By the time of Lee's death in 2014, this movement had largely been forgotten, but a new documentary film is reviving the memories. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we revisit a seminal moment in the history of Asian American identity with the directors behind the film, "Free Chol Soo Lee." 

Guests: 
Julie Ha, co-director, "Free Chol Soo Lee"
Eugene Yi, co-director, "Free Chol Soo Lee"  
Gail Whang, former member, Bay Area Chol Soo Lee Defense Committee 

Host: Keith Menconi 

Special note: The film is available to stream on the PBS YouTube channel until May 23rd and the PBS App until July 22nd.
