2025 Ramsey Lecture
“The Long Haul: How Long Covid Survivors Are Revolutionizing Health Care”
presented by
Ryan Prior
To the world’s public health authorities, Covid-19 would be either a deadly disease for some or a simple respiratory illness for most, its symptoms clearing up in just a matter of weeks. But then tens of millions around the world got sick and stayed sick. With scientists and doctors caught off guard, these Long Covid patients often found solace only with one another, organizing support groups across oceans and continents while ill in bed. In The Long Haul, CNN journalist Ryan Prior weaves his own life, the stories of activist patients, and the latest science into a captivating tale of regular people crying out for care that actually works. Covid’s long-term effects continue to grow, and will weigh on the healthcare system for decades to come. But getting Long Covid treatments right could help revolutionize care for all complex and chronic illnesses.
