"Fatigue, disorientation, cognitive difficulties - these are daily occurrences
for a large number of people, including those in the music industry.
Musicians, DJs and other music professionals dealing with the persistence of
Long COVID face unique challenges related to their work, which is often
physical in ways that require a great deal of fine motor control, concentration
and stamina, leading to forced breaks or even having to give up their vocation
entirely.
And, given that many musicians are freelance, they’re particularly vulnerable
economically.
While COVID received a lot of media attention in the first few years after the
pandemic, it has since moved away from the public eye. But for those with Long
COVID, there’s no moving past it.
We spoke with two musicians - cellist Joshua Roman and transdiciplinary artist
Gavilán Rayna Russom - about their ongoing struggles with the illness and the
ways they’ve had to adapt.
According to the Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) Clinic at Stanford
Medicine, 30% to 60% of people with COVID-19 have symptoms that continue after
recovery."
