Great article.
I got Covid March 12 and am young, healthy, athlete but I'm suffering still from the virus.
I get tired days after I do something strenuous. I'm currently a jet ski tour guide where the job is all physical and I get tired quicker than I'm use to. I'm grateful I can even go out there based on how bed rested I had to be in the beginning.
Losing my taste and smell are the least of my worries. The Covid headache I got was unreal. It felt like an ice cream headache, literally, that never went away. Think about that. Lol
I will say, I got the vaccine a few weeks after recovering from the virus (doc said it was okay) I think has helped me. I got pfiezer.
I wrote an article about why getting covid is such a blow to the ego for Americans. You're right. We are funny.
