COVID-19 Long Term Effects, Hotel Isolation, Canada’s Energy Industry and Internal Thoughts Study

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Monday, January 25th. We begin with details on a new Calgary-based study on the long-term effects of COVID-19. We speak with a professor out of the University of Calgary on what we know about the after-effects, and what he aims to learn from the ongoing research. Next we meet a man who’s been living in isolation at a local hotel for the past two-weeks, as his girlfriend tested positive for the Coronavirus. We hear about his daily routine – from his meals – to entertainment – and the steps it took to set-up his isolation. Then we look at the next ‘move’ for Canada’s Energy Industry. With the Keystone XL Pipeline project on the ‘ropes’ – we explore the options for diversification in the sector – and the opportunities for other industries to grow. We speak with the Director of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy at Queen’s University. And finally, are you wondering why your brain ‘spaces out’ sometimes? We dig into a new study from the University of Calgary that can break down a person’s internal thoughts.
