It has taken my lungs ~1 month to recover after a mild infection. I feel bloody lucky it wasn’t worse even though I was going through inhalers like they were sweeties mid/late Dec (I’m asthmatic).
A few colleagues and my partner have talked about the near panic that sets in when they start to have breathing issues just sat at their desks.
All bar one have now recovered but make no mistake, this thing is going to have a long tail.
Took me about 11 months after Covid before I could walk up a flight of stairs without having to rest at the top, not to mention my parents in their 80s walking twice as fast as me.
It got way better after my first jab, but every mild sniffle I get goes straight to my chest and I’m exhausted from it. Still having to do the school run by car half the time.

I had non covid pneumonia in October that almost killed me and it’s almost February and my lungs still aren’t right and I still have brain fog and fatigue. I have no doubt lots of people who had covid are going through it worse.
6/7 months for my lungs to recover, I also never get sick, however after recovering COVID I’ve caught every bug around.
And I’ve not been locked up throughout the pandemic worked through it.
Who knows what the true destruction of COVID will look like in 5 years time.
I has what I think was covid in March 2020. Cold for three days, then a hacking, sharp cough that lasted a month plus severe fatigue. I was almost sick sometimes it felt like I was going to throw up my own lungs.
Even now, I get random bouts of extreme breathlessness for no reason. I do believe I have some sort of damage to my lungs.
For context, I am fit and healthy 29 year old woman.
