I wasn't able to work 10 months without working.

I didn't find any doctor that gave me anything to improve my health.

And then I improved a little bit and then I started to work after 10 months.

I started bleeding to my mouth, mixture of blood and saliva. It started to heart my joints, my muscles. I was not able to

research, because if not, it's possible that we will not be able to perform research.

That's David Dalmao, head of the Research Foundation at the University Hospital, Mutua Tarasa.

We'll hear more from him shortly.

We'll also ask if long COVID could be adding to the economic hangover as Spain is experiencing

after the coronavirus pandemic.

COVID is now in the catalogue of our sicknesses and it's going to be

And that's Javier Diaz Jimenez, Professor of Economics at the EESA International Business School.

But let me start by saying that I feel I am one of the lucky ones.

When I got COVID in 2020, I was hospitalized, but unlike Blanca and Maria, I made a full recovery
