Tasha Clark tested positive for Covid-19 on April 8, 2020. The Connecticut woman, now 41, was relieved that her symptoms at the time -- diarrhea, sore throat and body aches -- didn’t seem particularly severe. She never got a fever and wasn’t hospitalized.

She significantly miscalculated. More than a year later, she’s a textbook example of a Covid long-hauler.
