![]() If you add it all up, and then you realize the lack of trust that exists now in public health, I think we're less prepared for the future than we were in 20. We're going to see research scaled back substantially on infectious diseases. We're going to see major layoffs in public health agencies all across the country at federal, state and local levels. I've never seen anything like this in my 48 years in the business - the amount of clawback that has happened with resources and funds. Over the next several months, we're about to see the public health system in this country systematically dismantled. It's about the lessons we should have learned from this pandemic. ![]() I learned a long time ago in this job that hope is not a good strategy.Ĭan you give us a preview of your forthcoming book? I still sleep with one eye open anticipating the future. Because as time goes on, we know that the duration of protection from both vaccine and previous infection wanes. And what these changing variants might do and how they might do it is something we haven't anticipated yet.Īlso, we're actually seeing a population that, in many cases, is becoming less immune, not more. But at the same time, one of the challenges we have is these variants keep changing. I don't think we're going to ever go back to 2020, 2021 or 2022.

I thought of all those things: Is this my lot in life for the rest of my days? It only gave me more empathy for those who have had persistent, serious, long COVID. It became a very emotional issue after I got infected. If COVID was ever an intellectual challenge for me, it was in terms of what I dealt with in all the anger, and hate, and science. What was it like experiencing an illness that can last for years? It really hasn't been until about the last month and a half that I've really started to feel as if I'm fully back. There were times I would walk across our condo and just be exhausted. After about a month, the memory loss seemed to go away, but the fatigue persisted. My first reaction was, "Omigod, is this early Alzheimer's?" But by talking to my colleagues, I began to realize, of course, this is likely part of that composite long COVID. You could talk to me about "Sleepless in Seattle" and I could picture the two actors, but I couldn't tell you their names. If you'd asked me, What's a Champagne and orange juice drink? I couldn't have thought of the word mimosa. When did you develop long-COVID symptoms?īy week three and four, the fatigue really set in worse than during the illness itself. I think the only time all three of us didn't have a fitted N-95 mask on was just a short elevator ride in my building. I was one of three people who all got infected the same night. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.Īfter three years of educating people about COVID, you finally got it. ![]() We checked in with Osterholm about his experience with long COVID, his perspective on where we are in our pandemic journey, and why he still sleeps with one eye open.

And one of the most careful among us in protecting himself from COVID.
