Question

This may be a dumb question. Could long COVID be COVID jumping back and forth from a domestic animal, such as a human to dog and back? I had heard it’s in a deer and some other animals, and it jumps back to humans. Can you have an episode on this subject?

Good enough

Nice quick easy skim of current covid info. If you want a more detailed deep dive into current covid situation go to a different podcast… but this is a nice brief broad view. Please cover long covid PASC more when discussing the “end” of this pandemic into endemic. This is a disabling condition many are living with >2 years. Being more informative on this urgent issue isn’t being pessimistic- it’s realistic and any more info that can be brought to public will help people make daily decisions.

Saving live

I believe wholeheartedly that these podcasts on the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic help to cover many aspects involving new variants, spikes or waves…how to take necessary precautions such as age factors, immune compromised people and informs people like myself and others who listen in about vaccines, updates about side affects from those getting vaccinated and those who are not. Also covers all ages, immune compromised and much much more. It is keeping us, “we the people” on alert and safer. Thank you for your coverage on high priority updates throughout our nation.
