The Current for July 14, 2020
Today on The Current:
We hear from two "long haulers" who are still very sick, months after they first fell ill with COVID-19, and speak with a physician co-leading the first Canadian study that will track health outcomes for COVID-19 patients over a one-year period.
Plus, we speak to Globe and Mail Health Columnist André Picard about moves to reopen bars and restaurants, but also fears that alcohol is playing a role in COVID-19 spikes around the world.
Then, Washington's pro football team is retiring its name and logo following decades of criticism from Native Americans, and recent pressure from sponsors. Jesse Wente and Carla Fredericks discuss whether this might lead to change for other teams.
And all summer long The Current is airing some of the most critically-acclaimed CBC podcasts. We continue today with episode two of Uncover: Sharmini, about the unsolved 1999 homicide of a Toronto teen. Click here to find out more about each podcast, or skip ahead to hear more.
