Thanks mate.
Lifted my spirits somewhat.

Those runners I mentioned reminded me of a guy they run with (younger than all of us and a sub 18 min 5ker.
He had long covid and took him absolutely ages to recover too. He bought a heart rate monitor after he started to feel better but both him and his doctor expressed concern over the results (he stepped back from running at that stage). He's fully recovered now thankfully but shows the damage it can cause.

How are you btw?

Not entirely sure if it helped, but one week on since my jab I've finally been able to go out for a run after 3.5 months of post Covid/long covid health issues.
Felt a skip at lunch during my walk so asked myself whether a run was possible in the evening. Bumped into some runner friends whilst walking the dog after work and told them I was contemplating a 10 min run later.
Ended up as 5K....slow and gentle but listened to my body.

Was obviously a lot cooler today and I've been doing some breathing exercises of late (plus I started taking those vits I posted a while back) but there's every possibility the vaccine has helped the recovery.

Makes me so bloody angry when you see what's going on India and you still have idiots here (this country, not the site) saying it's not real.

Plenty will be. Until the tin foil hat wearers catch it themselves - and a bad dose of it at that - they'll continue to spout their conspiracy shite, even though there's a humanitarian disaster unfolding in India before the eyes of the world. Most of these dickheads are only spewing their bollocks because lockdowns have stopped them doing the things they want to do like going to the pub or going on holiday. Funny how when SARS was causing havoc in the Far East nearly 20 years ago, nobody over here was spouting conspiracy theories about it being a hoax. And we all know why - because SARS never reached these shores and we were able to carry on as normal.

You'd have to be stupid to think so, however the scenes in India are not necessarily a direct consequence of COVID or COVID mutations but rather a consequence of some of the worst public health decisions ever. They have just allowed one of the biggest festivals (Holi) in March to be held without any enforced restrictions.

India should of been under total lockdown a month ago, yet here they are just starting to impose lockdowns with cases now spiking at 500k per day. The thing is though that number will be at least double that because the testing capacity does not exist to capture so many cases.

This probably represents the worst of COVID but let's not forget that it was completely avoidable.
