The Bookseller - News - Michael Rosen and Suzie Dooré reveal Long Covid impact while publishers are praised for support

Rosen spent 48 days in intensive care after contracting Covid-19 and wrote a book about the experience: Getting Better (Ebury).

He told The Bookseller that he is now "on a plateau" but described several long-lasting symptoms. "Covid-19 knocked out most of the vision in my left eye and most of the hearing in my left ear," he said. "It also damaged the nerves in my toes, so they're mostly numb. Same goes for the feeling in my leg muscles that they're stretched or overly taut. So I think I'm in as good a nick as I'll ever be." He has also lost a lot of memory from the previous years.
