English Language Broadcast - "We must prepare for a new pandemic" 5 years since lockdown 3i4q44

Five years have ed since the world as we knew it changed. It was changed by the coronavirus, which, as of this year, has taken seven-million lives and transformed countless others. So today, on the fifth anniversary of that first lockdown here in Spain, we're going to dedicate a special broadcast to looking back on the uncertainty of those first days of March in 2020... And checking in on the uncertainties that persist today, five years later.  Spain has a network of investigators into long covid, La Red Española de Investigación en COVID persistente (REiCOP). We talk with the association's Vice President and infectious disease specialist, José Ramón Blanco Ramos, about long covid and what we know about it so far. After that, we hear from epidemiologist Viky Zunzunegi, member of the Comisión Ciudadana por la Verdad en las residencias de Madrid (Citizen's Commision For The Truth) about what other lasting effects the coronavirus has had on society, and if we're prepared to go through it again.
