A former colleague of mine who is 28 and usually fit as a fiddle - marathon runner, very lean, looks great in a pair of shorts - has had long covid issues for more than six months. Even now he has some days when he is so badly fatigued that he can’t climb the stairs in his house without feeling out of breath. At present he can’t go outside without the cold air hurting every time he breathes in. His girlfriend is a hospital nurse so she (and by extension he) never stood a chance of avoiding it last year. Says he can’t believe how long it has stuck around or how it continues to impact him. The guy used to run a 10k on his lunch break some days. Now he can’t even walk around his local park without being knackered. Which is why football is playing with fire if this is what it can do to super-fit people in their twenties, but I’ll keep that for another thread!
One can’t help but wonder if London being kicked into Tier 2, despite lots of people saying it made absolutely no sense at the time as it had far higher infection rates than a lot of places in Tier 3, might well be to blame for the situation there being as apocalyptic as it currently appears. Health v wealth gone wrong?
