About this site

The Long Haul is an independent publication launched in January 2026 by Chris Stubenrauch, a space weather scientist who has been living with Long COVID since February 2024.

The site focuses on making Long COVID research easier to understand by providing clear, plain-language summaries of newly published scientific studies. All content is written for readers without formal medical or biology training, with the goal of improving access to information, not offering medical advice or treatment recommendations.

Everything on this site is free. There are no paid subscriptions, paywalls, or premium content.

If you choose to subscribe with your email, you’ll receive infrequent email updates when new research summaries are published. Subscribing simply helps distribute information, it does not unlock additional content.
