The Long Haul explores how millions now live with long-term effects of Covid-19-which could impact medicine for decades. This book offers validation and hope for sufferers, and points to how Long Covid could be an opportunity to remake a health system that works better for all complex, chronic disease. "Ryan Prior brings out the heart of the story simply because he puts his whole self into telling it empathetically and with utmost compassion. Matched with his passion for curiosity, it makes for a story not only worth telling, but worth reading with insatiable interest." -Stephanie Land, New York Times bestselling author of Maid, one of President Obama's top picks of 2019 and now a Netflix original series. "Ryan Prior's years of both living with and reporting on chronic disease for major publications makes him ideally suited to write a book about Long Covid. Because he has led the field by helping author principles guiding other science writers in covering contested diseases, he can cover this topic with all the scientific nuance, literary poise, and human empathy it requires. His book could be an example in future decades of how to cover the new epidemics we will undoubtedly see." -Pam Weintraub, author of Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic. "As a CNN features writer, Ryan has shown a keen nose for compelling human stories and the reporting chops to deliver." -Brian Vastag, former science reporter for The Washington Post
