Mark Hyman, author of Young Forever, calls this book "an essential guide" to coping with the cognitive and mental health deficits that often follow Long Covid.

Death was first overshadowed by the appalling mortality rates during the Covid-19 epidemic. Up to 30% of those who survived Covid-19 continue to deal with symptoms today, notably in the areas of cognitive and emotional health. The battle against Long Covid has altered the life of long-distance truckers forever. Many have lost the capacity to support themselves and their families via employment, education, and child care. They often experience being ignored or discarded by others around them. Their once-busy schedules are now consumed by endless trips to the doctor that seem more pointless.

Those afflicted with Long Covid and their loved ones are provided with a road plan in Removing the Fog that will assist them in adjusting to their "new normal." He mostly addresses mental illness and cognitive decline, demonstrating to readers:

The many forms they might take and the havoc they can cause
Advice on how and when to get expert opinions
Treatments and methods grounded on science,
Disability insurance and health care system guidance
Giving patients who are struggling with a new diagnosis a sense of validation and optimism

Removing the Fog provides long transporters with an understanding of their present circumstance and a variety of strategies for dealing with it, making sense of it, and moving through it in order to thrive rather than just survive.
