A Mount Sinai doctor and her COVID patient look back 5 years since COVID struck NYC

The Tri-State area is reflecting on five years since COVID brought the world to a halt.

Do you remember where you were in March 2020 when hospitals were overwhelmed with patients and struggled to have enough beds? James Colon was one of these patients, who arrived at Mount Sinai Queens in April 2020 and eventually beat an extreme case of COVID. 

James and his pulmonary Doctor Mary O’Sullivan from Mount Sinai talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about that time and the lessons learned.
