But the disease remains more than a memory, especially for those whose lives are continually impacted by the illness. Robert McCann, 46, was exposed to COVID-19 at a Lansing-area veterinary clinic which was tied to an outbreak of the disease in June 2020.

More than three and a half years later, McCann says he still faces issues with severe fatigue, nerve pain and brain fog from Long COVID.
