This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy continue their Covid-19 FAQ series.

Listener Question:

Long-time listener here, and I adore the Patreon content! I wondered if it would be short content, but "knowing" you, why would I have thought that?! You give so much, and the Patreon episodes are no different. I utterly loved the first two episodes, and really enjoyed hearing about your move from identifying as Paleo and the changes in the Paleo community, especially around racial justice and anti-science.

I'm a Whole30 coach and share your articles and podcasts with my clients so frequently. I also help moderate a Whole30 FB group of about 4,000 over-50 (mostly) women and when it's my turn to moderate I frequently have Science Week - and guess who is featured prominently each time?

I adore the science, the friendly chat, the laughs and the tips. Truly, this new Patreon content is a bright gift in this very dark time. Thank you both!

Thank you, Teri!

Here is a quick recap of previous Covid-19 episodes:

In Episode 396: this was early on, so Dr. Sarah and Stacy talked about known (at the time) epidemiology and why it was important to take the Coronavirus shut down seriously. They also talked about autoimmune diseases and Covid-19, antibacterial soaps versus natural soaps, and the health effects of using disinfectants. They discussed the evidence efficacy (or rather lack-there-of) of silver-containing solutions. And did a bit of myth-busting surrounding elderberry for autoimmune disease. Finally, Stacy and Sarah talked about taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and zinc.

In Episode 401, Stacy and Dr. Sarah explored the way out of this pandemic and how to get back to normal life as we know it.They touched a little bit on reinfection cases, which they will be taking at a more in-depth look at today. They also broke down the science behind wearing face masks.

In Episode 412, Stacy and Dr. Sarah talked about how isolation can impact immune function. They also myth-busted some of the concerns that have circulated around it. They discussed how isolation might affect the gut microbiome, public health messaging, and the huge importance of vitamin D when reducing the risk of Covid-19.

In today's episode, Dr. Sarah reminds us that they will be focusing on:

Reinfection versus Reactivation
Long haulers (sometimes "Long Covid"
Longterm complications/damage
