There is a pandemic that will not stop when vaccines and the evolution of the virus allow a certain return to normality: it is the persistent covid. What in the first waves of the coronavirus seemed like a marginal anecdote, is increasingly recognized as a characteristic feature of the disease: leaving a permanent mark on a part of infected people.

Readers of EL PERIÓDICO will have the opportunity to ask Sonia Villapol, a Spanish researcher at the Methodist Hospital Research Institute in Houston (Texas) about these and other topics, and co-author of an analysis of almost 20,000 articles on the long-term effects of the covid.

The conversation will take the form of a live video on EL PERIÓDICO’s YouTube and Facebook channels, on Thursday, October 28 at 6:00 p.m. Those who have questions for her can send them now to entretodos@elperiodico.com or intervene during the event through the comment channel of EL PERIÓDICO’s social networks.

Health Conversations

Her intervention is the third in a series of Health Conversations promoted by EL PERIÓDICO and supported by the Doctor Antoni Esteve Foundation, within the framework of the Network of Communicating Scientists, an initiative to amplify the voice of researchers in public debate.

The series of Health Conversations began last summer with the interventions of the epidemiologist Zulma Cucunubá and the psychologist Ximena Goldberg.
