A Pandemic Ignored
A Pandemic Ignored is an occasional series uncovering the life-altering impacts of the coronavirus and the untold stories of Latinos living with long COVID. The first story and three-part audio reports in the series were produced in partnership between palabra and Northwest Public Broadcasting (NWPB) with the collaboration of reporters Lygia Navarro and Johanna Bejarano.
It’s called a mass-disabling event: One in five COVID-19 infections results in long COVID, with Latinos the most affected. As society and medicine largely ignore this lingering crisis, how prepared are we to care for a looming avalanche of Latino long-haulers?
Lygia Navarro sat down with KJZZ Phoenix to discuss her reporting on “What Recovery?”
