After spending the summer back up here in Alaska, ATMI producer Danielle DuClos returned to the University of Missouri where she is a junior, studying investigative journalism and pre-law political science.

A few days after arriving in Columbia, Danielle started feeling sick. She got tested, and sure enough, she had contracted Covid-19. Luckily, though, she has since recovered from it.

Fellow ATMI senior producer Daisy Carter called up Danielle to talk about what it was like having the virus, the physical and mental effects it has on a person, and how her school has been readjusting to life in a pandemic. They spoke on September 25th, 2020.

Hosted by Cornilius Nelson.
