What Do We Understand About Long COVID?

This week marks four years since the outbreak of Covid-19 was officially declared a pandemic. One of the most vexing legacies — one that science still hasn't solved — is long Covid. That's the debilitating condition that can develop in the aftermath of an infection.

Millions of Americans are living with the often debilitating symptoms that can include brain fog, shortness of breath, and low energy. Some struggle with simple daily living tasks like laundry and cooking.

Four years since the pandemic hit, patients with long Covid are still fighting for answers.

586: The Untold Story of Malaysian Flight MH370

In 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 captured the world's attention as it seemingly vanished without a trace. For weeks, it dominated conversations, but with time, it gradually faded from collective memory. Occasionally, on slow news days, there were reports of potential plane debris findings, but these never led to any concrete conclusions. Until now.

Ashton Forbes, a dedicated citizen journalist, arrived in town to engage in a conversation with Tony about his highly compelling evidence. If authentic, this evidence has the potential to not only reshape our understanding of Malaysian Flight 370 but also challenge our perception of human existence itself. The videos Ashton is about to share with the world are nothing short of astonishing. After grappling with the profound implications, one can't help but question the boundaries of possibility.
