Covid-19 has continued to be a dark shadow hanging heavy over everything that has happened in 2022 - and it seems that this disease is not yet done with us. 

Cases are tracking up and dozens of New Zealanders are continuing to die weekly.

Today, NZ Herald science writer Jamie Morton joins Damien to share his insight on the virus that just won’t go away.
