Generation Covid

Tom hears from five members of Generation Covid, a cohort of young people whose education and lives were completely changed by the pandemic. This episode shares the stories of Will, Izzy, Emily, Eden and Emma as they recall navigating the early days of lockdowns. A sudden end to childhood, few formal goodbyes, and a jarring start to adulthood. In Season 2, Tom also collated the accounts of 12 people who have lived with Long Covid, and in a follow-up episode, explored how society can better support them.
