Happy new year! 2021! Although that awful year is now behind us, the battle against the corona virus still rages on. I've heard a lot of people talk about how the death rates have dropped, and how if you're young and relatively healthy you won't die from it. As if it's black and white, dead or alive. Today I interview Niels van Gent, a runner based in Haarlem. Niels contracted COVID-19 and was generous enough to share his experience of it, from initial effects, to longer lasting ones, and recovery. Thank you to Niels for being on the podcast!
