The Sick Times - Chronicling the Long Covid crisis

Six years in, mental health care providers are still uninformed on Long COVID. And it’s making the crisis worse.

Six years into the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many people living with Long COVID still aren’t getting the mental health support they need.

“[In] music spaces, the denial is huge,” phytocene said. “Because I think if musicians were to admit that every day they put themselves at risk, they wouldn’t be able to do that career.”

The Sick Times - Chronicling the Long Covid crisis

These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions

While most of the music industry has “moved on,” COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders.

Highly recommended household items for my fellow #ChronicIllness baddies:

1) A bed desk / Reading pillow / Bed Wedge (take your pick)
2) A weighted blanket
3) A bedside/portable basket for your essentials
4) A 1L insulated water bottle
5) Dimmable lights (IKEA’s system is quite affordable)
6) Honourable mentions: fidget toys, plushies, blankets, and other cozy items.

At parts of the Winter Olympics in Italy, COVID precautions remain, grounded in the reality that airborne infections are still circulating. When your body is your livelihood, prevention is part of performance.

A blue backdrop behind them shows sponsor logos (including P&G, Samsung, TCL, Visa, Salomon) and Olympic branding. WHN branding “whn.global” appears at the top left. Large yellow text over the lower half reads: “Olympians are still masking in 2026” Smaller white text below reads: “At the Winter Olympics in Italy, some athletes are still masking and isolating, aware that COVID and other respiratory illnesses are not over.” Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Prevention is critical because every avoided infection reduces the risk of Long COVID.

Long COVID doesn’t only affect health—it reshapes work. Many healthcare workers describe ongoing symptoms that change how they function day to day, forcing reduced hours, amended duties, or a phased return. At the same time, the pressure to “carry on” can be intense—driven by professional identity, staffing shortages, and fear of being seen as unreliable. Without clear Long COVID guidance, workplace adjustments can become inconsistent, slow, and stressful for everyone involved.

Long COVID does not follow a single pattern. Symptoms can vary widely in type, severity, and duration, sometimes even within the same person over time.

Long COVID can involve the brain, heart, lungs, nervous system, and more. Some people experience one or two symptoms. Others experience many, across multiple systems. Both presentations fall within the same diagnosis.

Text on image: Long-haulers are often disbelieved as a result.
When a condition looks different from person to person, it is easier to dismiss. That dismissal can delay care, strain relationships, and worsen outcomes.
And in all settings, this disbelief can be damaging to long-haulers’ mental health and emotional well-being. It hurts to not be believed, especially when you’re already struggling.
