Summary: COVID-19 Edition, Episode 7 Welcome to this COVID-19 special edition podcast brought to you by Kessler Foundation. While the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted daily life for the general population in the last few months, individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS) know a thing or two about coping with unforeseen challenges.
