"Long COVID potentially affects nearly 6 million children in the US." 10–20% of children who contract COVID develop long COVID, which manifests differently than in adults. While vaccines lower risk, no single cure exists. Care is tailored to symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and brain fog.
The image shows a news article from The Boston Globe titled, "Long COVID potentially affects nearly 6 million children in the US. This South Shore teen is one of them."
Below the headline, a sub-headline explains that long COVID is diagnosed by a pattern of unexplained symptoms rather than a single test. The article is written by Aayushi Datta and was updated on April 23, 2026.
The main visual is a photograph of a teenage girl, Kaylee Joaquim, standing on a wooden staircase in a dimly lit home. She is leaning against the banister, looking directly at the camera. The caption notes that she has difficulty with stairs because of long COVID.

Reporter @octoberk.bsky.social is working with The Sick Times on an investigation about the experience of #LongCOVID in prison, which will also highlight how people outside of prisons can advocate on this issue.
We want to talk to anyone in prison who thinks they may have Long COVID, and would appreciate readers sharing this call for sources with any loved ones, friends, or contacts.

People in prison have limited access to information, so they may not know much about what Long COVID is. Rather than just asking if someone has Long COVID, you may need to explain that a person might have it if they got COVID-19 and never felt they really got all the way better or if an old health issue got a lot worse after COVID-19.

Anyone with ideas for sources should contact reporter October Krausch by May 31 at rebelprof@proton.me
