We've received some questions about freelancing for The Sick Times. In response, our About page now includes a section about our bandwidth for commentary and reported articles from outside contributors.
The Sick Times is a journalist-founded website chronicling the Long Covid crisis. We report on the common, life-changing disease following Covid-19 infection that affects over 65 million people worldwide and can be fatal. Our coverage spans related infection-associated chronic conditions such as myalgic encephalomyelitis, dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome, and more. Unlike many outlets, we continue to report on the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. No denial, minimizing, or gaslighting here.
