Learn more@edwardjones.com. I'm Jane Pooley and this is something if you're planning to join the crowd today at the beach maybe taken a movie. It's our unfortunate duty to remind you cove it is still very much with us. In fact, infections are on the rise now of the millions of Americans who will contract the virus. Many will fully recover in a matter of weeks. Many but not all the risks of the medical mystery that's come to be known as long cove. A very real, which is why the doctor is in this morning. Our Dr. John the Polk is taking a closer look at long cove.

It is America enters its third summer of coded one lesson is becoming more and more clear. Some contractor humans do not bounce back to their plea cove. Everybody wants the pandemic to be over pandemic is far from over for me. Researchers are urgently searching for ways to help very clear about this. The sentence and the disease are absolutely real. We are failing. Right now, as physicians in figuring out how to identify the characterizing the search for answers about long cove later on Sunday morning and Tracy catches up with gun control advocate Gabby Giffords along with her husband, astronaut and senator Mark Kelly Elizabeth Palmer checks out the deadline caf� where writers block is never on the menu. David Martin has the poetic tail of one of the Vietnam vets just awarded the medal of honor.

Plus my conversation with young adult author Jason Reynolds story from Steve Hartman and more. This Sunday morning 17 July 2022 will be right back. She was a respected member of Congress. Then tragedy turned her into the face of a movement. Then Tracy is talking with Gabby Giffords and her husband Sen. Mark Kelly as they look back and pressed ahead tomorrow so you got to hang on until tomorrow though, one to use some time with Gabby Giffords will likely be treated to a new River. But finding her words can still be a challenge but the whole crew was fantastic because of a brain disorder known as aphasia agent really sucks.

The words are there in my brain just can't get them out. And yet she has never lost her voice gun violence takes courage or unyielding optimism the world to Giffords has been fighting every day since January 8, 2011 when a gunman opened fire at her Congress on your corner event in Tucson, Arizona. 19 people were shot six died Gabby Giffords was shot in the head in terms of your recovery. How do you feel about where you're at. I'm optimistic it will be a long hard hall, but I'm optimistic that spirit is what made the Morehouse Democrat. A rising political star immediate need for a comprehensive immigration reform package and now powers are push to end gun violence to many children are dying. We must do something you probably use at the center of the new dock entry now in theaters aptly titled Gabby gift won't back down. I love to talk. I think the word spire is overused.

It's certainly appropriate to Gabby.

It makes you feel like how she can do that.

Look at what challenges I might take on Bud filmmakers Betsy Weston Julie Cohen admit they were worried whether this project would even work.

Was there any concern about her limited ability to communicate and being the subject who has to carry a documentary absolutely is Gabby story going to be too depressing to but then we met Gabby and he is the most extraordinarily resilient boy and horrible hilarious musical human being. You could ever get to know about two fingers of film shows each often agonizing step of Giffords recovery much of a tape by her husband, former astronaut and no Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly what in you said we should document this reason, I did have an injury like that to remember the early days of rehab and recovery and I wanted her to be able to see what that was like Gabby America function after the shooting Senate term John McCain smart you well all is injury and the politics has led to a surprising role reversal for the couple. I was there for three recovery month after month, year after year and now we run for the United States and you know I got an expert that was a lot of great advice. It's a long to-do list used to those checklist for flying the space shuttle stands about 6 feet tall Senate does not mess Arizona and set down but I was sent here to talk really slowly because that's what Gabby Giffords wants when I was on the floor. The Senate giving that speech. It's a long to-do list. But hey, I'm used to those I could hear Gabby and my things. How do you think he's doing and stick people for Giffords gun reform remains her priority through her organization that advocates for universal background checks on gun buyers will last month when Pres. Biden signed the first significant gun reform legislation in nearly 3 decades that measure was not included. Do you think that was the best you could get and if so is that all we should expect something to be said for compromise. I think our country is a better place where Republicans and Democrats can work together to solve problems. This is an issue that makes our country stand out in the worst world. The worst ways to edit something the American people want address. We did this with this legislation since what happened here in Tucson. There have been so many countless mass shootings in this country does it feel in some ways a country we've just kind of accepted that this is going to happen now. We should sometimes it might take us a little while to get to what you know. No other country on this planet is good. Solving problems is the United States of America know during back in the day is just a few days ago at the White House received the presidential medal of freedom for advocacy why say. And while it's tempting to dismiss her optimism that we will end our country's plague of gun violence is either na�ve or just stubborn.

You then remember the long odds. Gabby Giffords has already beaten for me it has been really important to move ahead to not look back. I hope others are inspired to keep moving forward no matter what most recovering from covert, 19 takes patience and the right medication. But for those diagnosed with long covert. It's a very different story and is our Dr. John. The book explains those patient's life is a constant search for treatment for relief and for answers in everyday conversation. People say hey how are you or in emails.

I hope all is well in those conversations and those questions are really hard for me to answer what you answer. I say well doing all right for Kim Todd Albright is very much a relative term. Since contracting code 19 back in January, 20, 21, Todd has never made a full recovery, making him one of the millions who suffer from long covert. The CDC defines long covert as health problems that persist more than a month after covert infection, and for this 53-year-old media executive long covert is very much a fact of life. It's very discouraging. I was doing everything I was told to do. The doctors told me, however, that I would not see improvement over the course of weeks, it would be more like over the course of months, it's very isolating you feel like you're disconnected to the world. The world is moving on without you and your you kind of feel invisible. That's a terrible feeling it is. Kim Todd works for CBS's parent company Paramount global, but we met him through survivor core long covert patient support organization. Todd used to be a CrossFit fanatic but a month after contracting coated. He found even a stroll in the park would exhaust him short of breath at all is not short of breath, no chest pain. Nope, just a weird feeling.

I went home and I slept for probably a couple of hours and then felt better but that was really the beginning of realizing that something different is going on what's been going on the unresolved to outside appearance is largely invisible consequences of covert, 19 for Kim, Todd, that means fatigue, dizziness, and ability to regulate his body temperature and difficulty concentrating.

Those are among the most typical symptoms of chest pain, palpitations and shortness of breath are also commonly reported. Can you diagnose long covert public x-ray casket MRI brain scan physical so you can imagine how that would be disconcerting to somebody who has some symptoms just need the scientific any to quickly understand what's going to quickly make some criteria.

Some diagnostic rules here at and what you don't health where I'm a professor of medicine.

Dr. Leora Horwitz has gone from treating patients during the worst of the pandemic to searching for a way to diagnose and treat long, cold. Dr. Horwitz is helping to guide a $1 billion study run by the National Institutes of Health.

It's called recover and its goal is to learn why so many people who contract code 19 reporting long-term symptoms. Research 25 years I have never seen this scale and scope start in such a short time.

Why do you think this is taking off quicker than usual because covert is an emergency. Consider this the Centers for Disease Control reports more than half of all Americans have been infected with code 19 as many as one in five infected adults experience the symptoms suggestive of long covert that's tens of millions. Here are a few things we do know, the more severe and prolonged initial experience with coated, the greater the risk of long covert being vaccinated lowers the risk of severe illness and the risk of long-term effects but more than two years into the pandemic. Researchers still have very few solid answers the big surprise in covert is been people who were never even that sick in the acute phase that is still having persistent problems. The NIH's Dr. Walter courtship is at the helm of the recover study for Dr. corsets who specializes in diseases of the nervous system. The mysteries of long covert present a familiar dilemma, neurologist a lot of illnesses that we treat have a treatment. Our job is to help people get to know as best they can get through this illness that skills necessary now more than ever, researchers are honing in on some possible causes a long covert including long-term damage from the initial illness such as inflammation in the heart lung and blood vessels, disruption of the micro biome. The trillions of bacteria in our gut that have wide-ranging effects on our health. The immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue after the virus is gone and an immune reaction to remnants of the covert virus that can remain in the body months after an initial infection. These last two theories point to similarities with other infections such as Lyme and Epstein-Barr, which NYU Langone's Dr. Leora Horwitz says can be difficult to diagnose just like long covert very clear about this. The symptoms and disease are absolutely real.

We are failing. Right now, as physicians in thinking identify character.

I can imagine that the millions of people out there who for years have been told. Oh, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Your chronic Lyme. It's in your head been told that incorrectly guess there watches something. See, that's right, Camille, who love God of Queens, New York. In April, 20, 21, she was struggling to breathe. Four months after contracting coated. The doctor said her lungs appeared to function normally. I remember a year ago your son read was to them.

You could really read some people might fail that some small and it doesn't matter.

I never wanted to live.

Since then, the 39-year-old who love God has made remarkable progress medication and breathing exercises help to run a 10k race last year and she's in training for this falls New York City Marathon. Some patients feel better with physical therapy and with medications that relieve symptoms but there are no drugs yet that specifically treat long covert from a scale of one, 200 hundred percent is where you were before you got covert where you think you are now about 5% to everybody. I look I feel like I normal but internal struggle that I feel you know little Delos or fear of getting older and the potential that this could get worse again and that's worrying about a what if I think all those little things could contribute to the 15% what would you like to say to people out there who are struggling with long covert right now. I like to say that life carries forward and you know as hard as it as it is that it happened to you. We are alive. Hope is my hope that sense of optimism is what propels Kim Todd as well, though he reports feeling only about 50% back to his pre-covert health is improved his stamina by following the physical therapy program developed by New York's Mount Sinai Hospital and he recently volunteered for the NIH's recover, study, giving help to others. It seems gives Kim, Todd, hope for the future, even when the president remains a struggle. Whatever I can do to help the medical community figure this out. I want to be able to gives me purpose to talk about my experience.

Everybody wants the pandemic to be over the pandemic is far from over for me to Drew Barrymore all my goodness, I want to tell you about our new shout to business podcast and in each episode, Nina weekly gastric and cover other quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist because well maybe you do to from the newest interior design trend Barbie car to the right and wrong way to wash her arm. Also getting the things that you just kind of well probably not able to do in daytime television so watch out.

Tristan is ever you get your podcast on the got take-out with preacher Gary this week Stephen Law ally of Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia. Georgia is right up there with New Hampshire's surprised New Hampshire people really just kind of don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take-out with Maj. Garrett on Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts earlier this month, retired Maj. John Duffy was awarded our nation's highest military honor medal of honor. But as David Martin explains part of his story is pure poetry order and it's not often.

If every recipient of the medal of honor is also a published poet, retired Green Beret John Duffy turned his trial by fire into an epic poem of the Vietnam War. Lots of soldiers of written memoirs about their time in combat you chose to write poetry. What wanted to paint a picture of the action in the panorama of combat. There is a battle for Charlie.

The name of the fireplace blocking into the central Highland at the start of their 1972 Easter offense.

This is a CBS news special report three N. E's divisions threatened to cut South Vietnam and have Duffy was the lone American advisor to a battalion of South Vietnamese paratroopers sent fireplace chart, what else can we do. There is no escape, as all three going in your new this was about given orders to fight the home. Duffy imagines the orders the Vietnamese commander gave his troops the big American, with the radio on morning field is controlling the aircraft targeting him he must be destroyed that into words like to kill me sod plus number 642 in the Vietnamese are typically about five or six airstrikes. He called in with the only thing keeping badly outnumbered himself from being battle ready to die, moaning softly despair in her our common glory. So that's a good question, is the story is this floor. It was a combat throughout this whole you don't seem to have any hatred of the know they were fine for what they believe we will find we believe the next reaction to going in everything from B-52 bombers to helicopter gunships troops held out for as long as they could. No one could have expected more from them. We are a team. Wherefore, to get her and if need be. We will guide that is near. I can feel explained. Soon it will be here. It seems strange. No more strength no more.

So basically you have accepted the I was getting a little dicey going in your position was not survivable, probably so.

I was never fearful, that's a recording of Duffy on the radio talking to the aircraft coming to his rescue. One of them is low on fuel and tells Duffy he has to leave the 471 came out two weeks of intense battle with 36 of our most intimate started writing the poem a week later and has been adding to it. Ever since no one one on Charlie HR marriage. Then he sums up his own career starting as a 17-year-old private and ending is a major with four combat tours. I guess I did. While not having gone to hell well enough to earn the nation's highest honor to write told you have to work this Sunday just the place for you.

You have to make your way to Tokyo.

Once again there there's a spot that's the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Elizabeth Palmer takes us to what's come to be called the deadline Caf�'s famous scenes. Caf�s usually feature Jesus.

The vibe is pleasure playing quite unlike the newest addition it's all about work section Tokyo's latest Caf�, manuscript Caf� and it's for people who not only have a writing project deadline. The mood is serious and full of customers sit at workstations glued to their computers watch over my technically account why owner and will chief I feel about 2 1/2 dollars an hour gets you fast Wi-Fi air cooled computer stands.

Mr. Kelly I try not to cover. He says not too much when I checked their progress every 30 minutes sinking Gucci has come to write a lecture due tomorrow on his registration slip. He's asking to be checked or you might say, gently caressed every half hour.

Writers are procrastinators faced with a blank page or more likely a screen these days. Finding ways to avoid getting down to work. Well, not here, is making sure that with Mr. Teca Howrah was racing to finish a manga cartoon hearing was 24 pages. He says how you doing, don't worry. He answers I'm right on track with the constant traffic in a nondescript suburb.

This is called charming except for the movie memorabilia in the wall of old technology in the bathroom. But what really counts here is getting it done. Part of the secret says hero sinking Gucci is the lack of distraction uncomfortable working here and and focused yet focus, greater Tokyo is the most populous metropolitan area in so a quiet place away from this hostile to concentrate and create his precious it's 20 to 4 in the afternoon Mr. behind me.

Congratulations. How many hours did it take one and 1/2.

He tells me write better and concentrate better here going to take deadline and course I wasn't paying for it. Steve Hartman has a story about kind hearts good neighbors and open doors days don't come much worse than this in January 2021 Jean LaBarre's husband of 58 years died in their home when the Glendale Arizona police entered the building, they found such terrible living conditions. They had to come down to her house so all in one day you lose your husband and your homeless did you expect what would happen next.

Know that was a surprise. Carmen Silva She lives across the street, although she barely knew those when she learned that Jean had no kids or family to turn to. Don't worry Dean Morgan is one thing to be neighborly, but you've taken it to the extreme that you don't see that I've always taught my kids to take care of the elders so even though the silvers live in a small three bedroom house eight children they made room for one more. The boys gave up their bed to sleep on the couch eagerly welcoming their new adopted grandmother. She looks very happy and I believe it's because she has a whole family now to feel like you found the family finally means everything just thinking about, there's nothing better than a loving home except maybe to a nonprofit enduring gratitude which helps Arizona veterans and their families heard about Jean's point, since Jean's husband was a Navy volunteers went full speed ahead, renovating her old house were all joined together to do one thing is to make sillies like whole house is condemned. No more. It's all hers and hers alone.

Jean plans to share with the seller's because that's what families do author Jason Rangel's award-winning verse and prose speaks mainly to young adults and kids and a lot of us have them way before hello hello when I walked out 6 to 12 happy that I look like someone Jason Reynolds is not only a prolific and best-selling author. He's also the national ambassador for young people's literature properly address ambassador first name visits mostly out-of-the-way towns like Rome and Montana on the Flathead Indian Reservation you're not there to sell your blog you there to sell them on box.

Yes, who's listening listening so the more books by selling books the fastest way to lose a chance to tell a child to read, and he encourages them to embrace stories to me reading becomes a lot more powerful if young people realize that the stories, books that exist with them as valuable as the books that exist. We have imagined stories that don't exist story began in 1983. His parents divorced when he was 10 he grew up with his mom in Maryland just outside Washington DC. They were places that were safe places that were not in.

Everyone was doing the best to exist, don't nobody believe nothing these days, which is why I haven't told nobody the story I'm about to tell you, Reynolds evokes his own childhood experiences in his 17 books, many published by Simon & Schuster division of CBS's parent company Jason the kids in my neighborhood are your readers, primarily black think that they remember these books all over America and all over the world by unfailingly you are writing about a black child absolutely. My belief is that I can like them into the world that the matter and that the did you feel invisible like you didn't matter. I did not have to rely on schooling to give me my visibility because I had a mother who had more than enough friend. The reason why is because I actually think that friendship is the most valuable relationship with friendship before he was a prolific poet. He was a precocious 16-year-old college freshman at the University of Maryland in 2000 he met classmate Jason Griffin kind of a man he was like 6 foot, 20 pounds just a towering figure that have different one day seeing Ronald sitting alone in the dining hall.

Griffin was intrigued and he has this cool crocheted hat and so there's not entry really like your hat is like that made all site okay McNally had bags and everything is going to him but I'm sure there were some people like that strange surprise when they came into our room and Monday night football is on and there's a bunch of big boots sit around and left college book artist black white college roommates now) Reynolds poems Griffin's artwork. It went nowhere, and Reynolds old clothes for the next five years.

This is boy this guy is. He's the greatest you've never ever heard of. But today, Jason Reynolds might be the best-selling author you've never heard of phenomena and young adult literature. He sold more than 7 million books and for only the second time in 20 years. He and his longtime friend have collaborated on another book. I can't help but note the obvious you have red hair and blue I you are the widest man in his work often ration with the most successful author of young adult books whose writing to black children for all children where you come off like every conversation you figured it out together. I think of anything that can be modeled friendship and honest friendship is much as I love coaching black also love my friend. Both of those things can coexist and it feels like I'm the only person who can tell all suffocating the latest project burned all the bright is about a kid who was home at the height of the pandemic and the protests over the killing of George fluorite, the narrator goes hunting for oxygen families and quarantine and finally realizes something important that all the air you will ever need boredom of your life. The magic is in the minuscule in the mundane controversy was barely 20 feet away. The guy on the ground was black and he looked like he was around my age. I feel of his books have been banned in some places like All-American boy is about to students one who is white witnesses a police officer beating up a classmate smashing his face into the sidewalk. The blood kept coming story about race. Some). I want my child reading this feel bad about being a white child, which is never my intention is being spun as a controversy as a way to kibosh. More complicated conversations that kids are desperately trying to Jason Randall happily comfortably having complicated conversations during one of his many school and library visits 12-year-old raised his hand says why is almost never see white people books suck out of the room and my responses. Because all-black neighborhood, right for those neighborhoods and experiences to be bothering at this point breath and he says no and that is a child. Thank you for listening. Please join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning progress and crazy to the point is we people in the best way to protect people final season Millstream
