There are still many mysteries about Long COVID, but what is clear, is that many Coloradans -- more than 200,000 -- currently have it and hundreds of thousands more residents may have had it and recovered. A book called "The Long COVID Reader," edited by Mary Ladd, features essays and poems by long-haulers. The book includes two Coloradans: John Zeising, who lives in Salida, and Nina Storey, who is from Colorado and now lives in Los Angeles.
