[Courtney] Garvin, 37, contracted COVID-19 three years ago and now has long COVID …. She and Mayer say their world has shrunk. She is no longer able to work. … Before getting sick in March 2020, Garvin worked as a storyboard artist and a touring musician as a member of the Courtneys, and [Connor] Mayer was in graduate school. Mayer is now an assistant professor in the Department of Language Science at UC Irvine. When he is not working, he is a full-time caregiver for Garvin and limits his social interactions to avoid getting her reinfected. … Garvin and Mayer said they shared their story in the hope of helping other people understand the impact this illness has had on their lives.
