COVID Aftermath: The Damage We Were Never Told About

Written By Keith Malinak

Everyone thinks the COVID story is over. But what if the real damage didn’t end with the pandemic, and the effects we’re living with now were never fully explained?

In this episode of At The Mic: Wildcard Wednesday, Keith Malinak is joined by Nurse Kimberly Overton to examine what’s still unfolding after the COVID era. The headlines may be gone, but the effects aren’t, and what remains is more complicated than most people realize. From inside the system, what she witnessed raises questions that were never fully answered. As the conversation unfolds, a deeper picture begins to emerge, one that suggests the story didn’t end when the world moved on. And what comes next may matter more than what came before.
