I've never had Covid, but my lady friend has. She contracted it at the hospital working as a medical professional of 40 years. There were circumstances surrounding how she contracted Covid that I will not go in to, but basically a lack of stocked PPE on the part of the medical facility. She now has long Covid and will for the rest of her life. Getting up in the morning to make herself some breakfast is exhausting for her, and they really are no closer to understanding why these symptoms persist in certain people. She had to retire, which really broke her.
