I have long covid from the single time I've ever had covid. I'm not a singer or a dancer, but if I got all the right training, I think my long covid symptoms limits my ability to physically endure performing a concert. These superstars are constantly sharing air with thousands of people in single nights. In airports, at shows, dance practice, parties, meetings. Are they hiding the news? Do they just view it as the flu and don't think it's worth reporting? What's happening?

Kristaps Porzingis, of the Boston Celtics, had fatigue and respiratory problems for the last few months of the NBA season with an unnamed "post-viral syndrome."

Edit - Here's another athlete, a cricketer, and here's a hockey player. I searched "battle with long covid" "athlete", and "singer" brings up some hits, too, including a Denver opera singer and a Hong Kong star.
