Quoted from Oaken:There are also plenty of stories of people that weren't even hospitalized, (but were sick enough to go get tested and know they had it), that struggle to walk up flights of stairs or around the block even weeks after "recovery".
This describes a friend of mine. He is 47 years old and was in good shape before contracting the virus. It has now been over 12 weeks and he is still struggling. This thing just hit him like a ton of bricks. Fortunately, he never had to go on a ventilator, but the physical and even mental toll has been enormous. At this point he honestly doesn't know if he will ever fully recover.
