Andrea Hoffman on Life with Cystic Fibrosis During the Pandemic and Beyond

On the new episode of Prognosis Ohio, part of the WCBE Podcast Experience, Dan Skinner talks with Andrea Hoffman, a sophomore at Ohio Northern University who lives with cystic fibrosis. Andrea shares her reflections on the pandemic, especially insofar as her pre-pandemic life already required that she take many of the same precautions that Ohioans have had to implement to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The conversation is grounded in reflections Andrea offered in a recently-published op-ed on CNN.com.
