Outlets Feature Rajnarayanan’s COVID-19 Insight

Several prominent outlets, including WebMD, Salon, and Fortune, featured insight from Rajendram Rajnarayanan, Ph.D., assistant dean of research and associate professor at NYITCOM-Arkansas, regarding the end of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency and the potential of future pandemics. Rajnarayanan, who maintains a coronavirus variant tracker tells Salon, “Trying to paint COVID as endemic flu will have serious consequences in the long run. We will feel workforce issues soon and long COVID might hurt our healthcare system country-wide. That could really be the next big impact of the pandemic.”
