 Recovery

No really, do not go back to high intensity exercises immediately!

You're infectious for at least 8 days after initial symptoms. Observe 100% masking for 2wks. Yes, this may mean eating alone or where there is good airflow.

COVID has weakened your immune system for at least 3 months, reduce exposure to all possible infections for this long. COVID provides NO increased immune response to COVID. You can be reinfected immediately, act accordingly.

 Take it very easy on yourself for 12 weeks, both mentally and physically.

Aspirin, keep it handy. If you so much as imagine you're feeling a clot hit that aspirin.

Avoid or reduce alcohol, can't possibly be helpful.

Protect your peace. General depression and many common mental health challenges remain a high risk for Long COVID.

Take this all as a time to chill the fuck out and ask everyone around you to also chill out. 

Stress is not healthy. Stay calm. Don't panic. Don't feed the trolls.
