The Demilich, i'm sorry i rebooted the thread immediately after your question. i've been trying to find citations on your "how long to rest after covid" question and i'm not having success yet on anything that isn't New Yorker posts talking about how having covid is a great time to recharge

Yeah I've been looking for stuff related to post recovery sudden death & related information hoping it would ping something related, but there's been no dice as of yet

It might help to tell your friend to think of COVID as an injury. The infection is basically an assault on your body and some damage will have been done that your body needs to recover from. And the universal advice for injury recovery is to rest for a while.

Already did that but they want an ~article~

"Only return to exercise after at least seven days free of symptoms, and begin with at least two weeks of minimal exertion"

This flowchart is... a lot, but good



Minimum 7 days at each phase, so 5 weeks after before going back to normal. It's a bit more than what folks are saying for 'take a whole month off' but I started wearing a heart rate monitor very regularly after COVID and logging all my exercise, tried to stay in the low zones for like 4 weeks before starting to ease back into it.

Still... not feeling great about heart health 9 months later.

So its been suspected for awhile (casual perusal found studies as far back as 2004) that infections can raise the risk of cardiac events, even before covid, but it never really raised the alarms until, ya know, THE ENTIRE WORLD caught a novel disease that seemed tailor made to screw up your blood/blood vessels multiple times.

E.g.

A metastudy on post covid MI

Similar one for strokes and blood clots (this dude loves his metaanalyses)

A review of post-covid cardiovascular complications and possible treatments
Too much to quote here but a lot of data on risks after infection. Money shot is:

American College of Cardiology recommendations for returning to exercise post-covid (its a pdf lol)

And another scientific article from last year that describes what returning to exercise should look like depending on how severe your infection.


This article puts the above in layman's terms rather nicely.

Solid posts, thank you for your efforts

I sit alone at my imported Malbec purple heart table, my Brioni suit lined with unkempt creases. Dried beet dust is formed into lines on a mirror in front of me.

I take a rolled up hundred dollar bill, of which I have thousands, and begin ripping lines. "I can't believe how much money I made off the pandemic" I whisper to myself.

I sit, alone and probated, in my empty high rise apartment looking down at this damned streaky mirror, trying to see where it all went wrong; but all I see is a few red smears where a man used to be.

In the last week alone, 5 people I know IRL who are totally unconnected to each other have gotten it for the first time. Two in the last 24 hours. I don't know that many people, and only know 3 or so more NoVIDers. I assume this is a confluence of people dropping their guards, a new strain with more immune evasiveness, and fading immunity from people's last vaccination or infection.

Two people I know admitted to catching it "for the first time!"
Press x to doubt lol, none of them mask.

Part of me wonders if they've actually caught it a few times previously and were simply asymptomatic, and now that they've caught it enough times it's to the point where being asymptomatic is no longer possible.

In any case my sister and her family are flying in tomorrow to bring my grandma home from her multi month long visit, and all of them will no doubt be unmasked on the flight. I don't even think they've considered their actions will potentially maim the ones they supposedly love (grandma and the kids). Truthfully I don't think they consider anything outside of their own immediate consumptive interests. Pretty sad poo poo tbh. Even if they get sick I think they'll write it off as flu instead of actually testing.

It's a shame to see pregnant individuals play maskless Russian roulette with their own and their expected child's health. My sister is maskless idiot and just got notified of a hosed up pregnancy.

Had to pick up a niece today from school who was sick, which rapidly accelerated my anxiety. The school is only one block away but I made sure the windows were down with both of us masked in 3m's. Here's to hoping I not only don't catch whatever they have, but don't spread it to anyone.

In better news though thanks to The vaccine finder posted earlier, I found a very local Dr with there own clinic offering Novavax. Every other listing was Walgreens which lol
