I see lots of doubt here. I just got over COVID-19, I had it for around 26 days with very mild symptoms after the first 2 days where my temp never went above 101.5.
However I still have 'post-COVID' symptoms. I'm in my 40s and was very healthy prior:
- Unexplained fatigue that happens 12-24 hours after exercise. I have to shut my eyes for 30 minutes, almost like narcolepsy or similar.
- Random muscle aches that seem to be slowly going away.
- Minor heart palpitations, slowly getting better.
- Rare cases where I feel I need to take several deep breaths, maybe twice per day.
- Continued GI issues.
Finally, everybody I know over 40 who has had COVID-19, approximately 7 people, have reported these symptoms, some of them marathon runners who can no longer run a mile. Please set your doubts at rest, this is a real thing, not an anomaly, and will have major health impacts to many people over time.

- noneeeed 6y agoI've managed to avoid it, but several friends have had it and still have some level of impact on their health and fitness months later. As an overwight man in my 40s I was nervous before, but with all these 'long' effects I'm even more worried about getting it, knowing that if I make it through I could still get screwed for months, just as I'm starting to improve my fitness a bit at a time.
- me_me_me 6y agoI have read report of people not recovering their sense of smell after months post recovery. We don't have much experience with Covid and post recovery effects yet, so not catching it is my priority (rather than rolling dice and hope for the best). I wish you full recovery.
- tchalla 6y ago> Continued GI issues Can someone tell me what GI is?
- gastrointest 6y agoI’M guessing gastrointestinal
- dragonwriter 6y ago"gastrointestinal", the usual medical term for the digestive system (the name might suggest it just includes the part starting with the stomach, but the esophagus is generally considered part of the "upper GI tract", so...)
