It's kind if important whether you develop long covid or not. If you don't then you don't need a long break, if you do, you could be out for months or forever.

- ggm 4y agoAnd, exercise makes it worse for some people. So "push through" is a possibly terrible idea.
- psychphysic 4y agoSeems like long COVID and CFS are being conflated here.
- dTal 4y agoNot really, they're basically the same thing. Except hopefully you (eventually) recover from long covid. If you don't recover, it's medically indistinguishable. Like CFS, "pushing through" can worsen symptoms - permanently.
- psychphysic 4y agoOne very troublesome aspect of that stats is that changes to sense of smell are tracked as long COVID. It quite invalidates the figures
- journey_16162 4y agoIt's been 4 weeks since I got sick and I still feel tired and unwell, but it's not anything as extreme as not being able to take a short walk, I even did some lightweight cardio-type exercise and there are days where I can be working almost all day (pushing through). I'm not sure what I should do and I will try to research it, but I feel like I have to push as much as I can while allowing more rest (i.e. 10h/day sleep, 1h nap in the mid day) until I'm well and trying do some lightweight cardio every day and a short walk. Reading the comments I have some fears that I could make worse / permanent though.
