📣 I’m writing a story with The Sick Times focusing on why there are no clinical guidelines for treating children with #LongCOVID and how this affects families. If you're a family affected by Long COVID, feel free to get in touch - [email protected].

RECOVER-TLC is currently hosting a webinar sharing updates on the NIH-run, Long COVID clinical trials initiative. I'll be live blogging a bit here, and we'll share any notable updates on the @thesicktimes.org's socials and/or website later today.

Some FDA-approved GLP-1s are being studied in clinical trials for the disease, but their results aren’t available yet. Experts caution against using experimental peptides for #LongCOVID. thesicktimes.org/2026/07/14/e...

There is no other outlet that duplicates the work of The Sick Times. If you have the capacity they deserve the support.

As of early July, it’s clear that a summer COVID-19 wave is getting started in the U.S. Disease levels are going up in the South and parts of the West Coast. This week's COVID-19 trends report: thesicktimes.org/2026/07/14/n...

Today @thesicktimes.org: Experimental peptides are being advertised for Long COVID, but there's very limited evidence behind them. Jamie Ducharme explores what peptides are and why experts recommend caution:

The brutal irony of this @thesicktimes.org piece is that it feels like women have only *just* started talking about peri/menopause symptoms more openly, and having them taken seriously and more properly addressed by (some) doctors... And now menopause gets deployed to minimize other issues. 🙃

NEW: Following two retraction letters, #MEAction and 25 advocates have now filed a formal ethics investigation request to the Society of Professional Journalists (@spj-posts.bsky.social) about @wired.com's heavily criticized essay on Long COVID. www.linkedin.com/posts/scotth...

This is so good.

While national COVID-19 averages remain low in the U.S., signals continue to accumulate that a summer wave is getting underway. It’s starting most prominently in the South, but there are also notable increases and hotspots in other parts of the country. thesicktimes.org/2026/07/07/n...

Today @thesicktimes.org: @crookedneighbor.bsky.social offers strategies for resisting ICE when you have Long COVID, ME, or a related chronic illness, and describes why these are related struggles. thesicktimes.org/2026/07/07/h...

"Because fascism & disease go hand in hand, many demographics that ICE is targeting are also those being disproportionately disabled by Long COVID... If you’ve never considered yourself a community organizer, now is a great time to start." Read @crookedneighbor.bsky.social in @thesicktimes.org!
