No real difference noted for me. I didn’t exercise for the 10 days I had it. I was very mild and felt pretty much normal by day 6, just took a few extra days to lounge and rehydrate.

Once back, I felt total fine working out hard. Maybe a little less stamina, but that is too be expected after loafing form2 weeks. A week of putting in hard max effort and stamina was back up to usual.

I ran a 5K distance on Friday at a slowish 29 minute pace and my heart rate was much higher than I would have expected. Also super stressed with work. Otherwise good. Had covid over New Years

Covid at the same time here. I found similar. Was off for almost a month. Strength training and cardio were a bit off for a couple of weeks after. Probably a month before I was back to where I was before. It was very frustrating because I could see the difference. But it all came back.

I waited almost two weeks from symptom onset to run again. I used a return to play protocol like they do with college athletes. I’m a 40-44M age group podium triathlete in big events for reference. There are lots of stories of people pushing too early and just ending up in a spiral.

1. people are usually not communicable after day 5

2, If you're exercising outside, you can't transmit covid. Your breath falls to the ground

I have COVID in spring of 2020, so the real deal although I didn't go to the hospital (probably should have). It took MONTHS to be able to go for a long walk without being completely out of breath and feeling like I was going to keel over.

Glad that's over now, but no, it is not fake news.

The ER doctor said he’s seen a lot of young people with strokes and heart attacks with Covid. Inflammation. Please rest and let your body recover. To whomever keeps reporting my experience for what? Disinformation? I’m sorry you don’t want to believe this, but it’s true. Telling people to rest while ill is not dangerous medical advice worth reporting.

Your assertion that "a lot of young people" are having heart attacks and strokes from covid is not supported by actual data. A lot of fat, unvaccinated, 60 yr old veterans are having heart attacks.

Not my assertation. The ER cardiologist’s. He said he’s seeing a lot. Get over yourself.
