the process requires Pretty much every persons cooperation and it looks like most countrys are always divided in their politicalness even in the heart of a pandemic so everyone who is against a current gorv wont listen.
I Think more countrys need to look @ New zealand, ok yes they are smaller but the process and the whole population worked together and they've now just had Xmas with Zero restrictions and that looks to continue.

They jumped on it fast and people listend and they just got rid of it.
America for example was just too worried about its "freedom" and people embraced that to the max. Even though i think they have more restricting laws than New zealand has and rates lower down the Freedom list than many countries incl New zealand.
the general consensus in the scientific world,is that New Zealand's success has been down to more luck than judgement.With few infected people travelling there before the lockdown.Other countries had done the exactly the same and have been hit hard.Although the complete ban on international travel has contributed to maintaining the control.Whereas here in the U.K. We have had millions travelers come to our country untested since March.

About the original post. I would recommend that you talk to your doctor about this and consider requesting a referral to a pulmonary (lung) doctor and an ultrasound of your heart (Echocardiogram). good luck!

The fact is hiding fixes NOTHING. Delusions of the media, liberal elected idiots and scare tactics are simply NOT based on Science, period. Guess what, we are ALL going to die. Less humans died in 2020 than 19, 18, 17, ........

So, go ahead, hide....IF you are susceptible to COVID it eill be patient. If not, trust me, something will get you and everyone you love. This mortality thing is unavoidable.

As for the OP....talk to YOUR PCP or FP person, not a website of cyclists. NOT Web MD.

So basically the above is the reason 1 out of 1000 Americans have died from Covid this year. Also for the record, as of November we surpassed the death count of any previous year. This isn’t politics, it’s science.

You seem to confuse testing + for a viral antibody in a filthy (hospital) environment with functional case of death. In Illinois suicides are Covid, in Miami shooting deaths are Covid and a 91 year old cancer PT in Des Moines....yep, Covid.

Fortunately it only kills the weak, infirm and generally vulnerable....not 99.7% of the rest of us. Please, do not let reality get into the way of your media fueled delusional panic. Humanity is better off long term with out the weak.

OP, seems like you've got nothing to worry about!

On a less sarcastic note, hope your lungs return to where they were. A longer term update would be helpful for a lot of us.

Might I ask what your background is? Something tells me that you’re not exactly a scientist...

I get my information from primary sources not a chat room on Parlor. Please stop disgracing the countless deaths and the traumas our healthcare workers have faces because of people like you.

To the original poster's question...

I was off from work for 18 weeks this year, and got in the best shape of my life. I could hammer a 10 mile XC course in less than an hour and would average 180 beats a minute... I'd see my heart rate in the 190s for the last few miles on my push to the finish. I could go as high as 198. My resting heart rate was 42 beats a minute, and I was so well conditioned I really had to push myself to get into the 170-180 zone.

I got covid in October. I took two weeks to rest and the first time I got on the bike to just move around I was amazed at how hard it was. The two mile warmup ride I do on the way to the trailhead had never shown my heart rate above 125. After covid, even going easier than normal to be as cautious as I could, I hit 184 beats a minute in the first mile.

I was worried that I had permanent damage. My chest burned all the time for a few weeks after my two week quarantine, which it didn't do when I was diagnosed. I developed a cough that hung around for a month too, again, after my quarantine.

Here it is at the end of December and I feel much better. I'm not as fast or capable as I was in the summer, but I'm sure with determination I'll get back there. My heart rate numbers seem to be reasonable for what I'm doing, but I have certainly lost fitness, which is understandable having taken a couple of months to ease back into it.

It is what it is. We may have suffered permanent damage and won't ever get back to what we had, but I'll still ride at whatever level I can until I can't anymore.

Hang in there.

This is quite normal. Usually lasts somewhere around one month. Good idea would be to make chest x-rays, if there are opacifications around bronchi then also pulmonary specialist referral..

No one ever said that. The issue is the overblown response to Covid.

343,000 dead and overflowing hospitals. Doesn’t sound like an over reaction to me.

The RESPONSE to Covid has been an over reaction. Closing down businesses, shutting down states. Ridiculous. Those that are vulnerable, can stay home etc. the other 98.8% of us can live on.
