It took Uvi Naidoo, a South African pediatrician, three long years to get through extensively drug resistant tuberculosis. Now, he's working through long-haul COVID symptoms, after contracting the infection twice. But even though he still needs oxygen when he gets around every day, he won't stop talking about TB.
Uvi and I met several years ago (through email and phone calls, not zoom) as I edited an essay that he wrote about TB. We kept in touch afterwards, and supported each other last year as we both went through our own health crises.
That TB essay can be found here:
