One of my best friends and his wife have long covid and it has completely wrecked their lives. They had covid 6 months ago and are still incapable of going back to work. My friend was an avid cyclist and his wife was also pretty physically fit. My friend described to me how hard it was for him to make a grilled chese sandwich and how it required him to take breaks in between taking the things out of the fridge and beginning the grilling. He also described to me how he couldn't even listen to music until recently because he couldn't focus on it. It is only recently that he can talk to me on the phone for 30 minutes without getting completely exhausted from the mental energy of it.
