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?

One part hiding, one part access to better medicine, food, and immunity boosters like gamma globulin among the elite performers especially when they are travelling.

This is my first time hearing of gamma globulin. Sounds like a miracle drug.

Not quite but it does seem pretty nice. There;re all sorts of big bourgeoisie experimental medicine, quackery, miracles, and things that are definitely plausible simply not accessible to the rest of us.
