My healthy, athletic 30-year-old sister had it... it’s no joke. She had a 102 fever for 10 days. This was months ago, and she’s going back to the doctor for lingering chest pains. I think the virus is overblown overall but it’s very serious for some people. Look up what blood types get it the worst and it all makes sense.
I think the heart is inflamed for awhile afterwards, perhaps even chronically. A close friend had it in November/December, and her resting heart rate has been unusually high since. She is in some groups on Fakebook, and other people who have had it are reporting issues with their hearts.
A lot of people have dormant borrelia burgdorferi in their bodies (Lyme, and co-infections, because it’s spread via intercourse), and then any flu virus you get can wake up the Lyme, Babesia, EBV, and Bartonella. Then you get misdiagnosed with “chronic fatigue.”
I can verify. I had both the original Covid a year ago and then the/a milder mutant strain November. I survived Covid but felt unusual pains in chest (not from coughing). Felt like low oxygen but no direct reading of that. EKG showed odd waveform change. But uncertain direct cause - could have been muscle or nerve damage or even clot; I went on a blood thinner but it had no effect. I have recovered now but it was a real mystery what was going on.
