I have been doing some light at-home strength training, which I should have been doing all along.
Remind me to take it slow at first. Easy coffee rides.
Think getting it is inevitable. Hope you recover quickly, but in-shape people tend to do so much better.
I caught, as did my wife, during our first week in Norway of a three week trip (where zero people were wearing masks - with an infection rate of 1 per 100,000 per day - oh lucky us). It took me a month (my wife did Paxlovid and had bounce-back symptoms after three weeks) to be completely symptom free (like a typical head cold) and now I’m back at like it never happened, other than a minor fitness set-back.
I did get my bi-valent shot the Monday before last and my flu shot a week prior. From what I have read, our current vaccinations are not highly affective against the two newest strains (A something) but they are better than not.
Get better soon
