    Very uncool.... Despite disease severity, I caution patients to maximise rest for 6 weeks before restarting exercise. Arbitrary number, but based on 30 years of seeing pneumonectomy pneumonia in young people. Systemic inflammation doesn't heal quicklyโ˜น๏ธโ˜น๏ธ

    Ummm... Just a thought. The Inauguration moves inside. A crowd of 500+ crunched together (see Reagan images) 1 in 29 people have Cรถvid in the US according to info from @jlerollblues How's that going to work out? @acrossthemersey

    Dani, My rule is nothing for 6-8 weeks. The inflammation continues long after the fever and cough. Keep your HR as low as possible. One of the few things we know can limit the risk of Long C-19. Same rule as any pneumonia or major illness.

    Some people asked in the comments why you should not exercise for at least 6-8 weeks after getting #COVID19. Researchers like @RobWust have recently shown that SARS-CoV-2 infection can induce changes in skeletal muscle structure and function, which can be worsened after

    Had to upgrade my Life insurance and that of my partner... There were FOUR direct questions relating to COVID! The actuaries have run the numbers! They won't touch you! I required a special exemption! Couldn't get passed the close contact question ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    I've seen my share of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae... I've never seen it fill entire ED Departments. Vietnam is the same. If this is the case, it would suggest they have a serious issue with immune dysregulation (from Cรธvid).

    Ummmm.... I'm not 65. I've already had 4X Pfizer. I am a frontline Respiratory Physician with NIV skills. My last jab was June. I'm out of date. The next wave is coming. There are no mandates nor instructions for those in my position. Guessing I'm not alone. Thoughts?
