I was diagnosed with "mild pneumonia" in late 2017 and it was quite the handful to deal with. Pneumonia as a potential complication of COVID-19 scares the bejesus out of me. First, I faded within a matter of hours. Woke up feeling great and by early afternoon I needed my wife to drive me to urgent care. Second, it was a solid two weeks before I really felt capable of doing anything. In reality I probably had walking pneumonia because I was able to WFH while taking Dayquil and Ibuprofen but I was zapped at the end of every workday. Third, it was every bit of two months before I recovered to full capacity. I was a very active and exceptionally fit 34 year old male who was brought to his proverbial knees during this illness. Fourth, I think I may have an advantage of early detection of catching this disease. I run at high intensity multiple times per week. I will know very quickly if my performance is falling off, I'm not recovering well, exerting more than normal effort etc.
