Wow, advising exercise to long Covid patients? Did I read that wrong? There are lots of posts on Twitter from folks with long Covid that had pretty severe adverse reactions to increased exercise after being advised by their doctors to exercise more. GC has commented on this a hundred times as well. Normal diagnoses for increasing hearth strength are dangerous if the underlying viral persistence and heart damage isn't addressed first. Many doctors are still in the traditional mindset of administering advice based on historical norms. What long Covid patients need is advice based on updated understanding of what's actually going on in the body from the virus.

But hey, I'm not doctor. But it does seem these folks are getting harmed by the very doctors they visit. I have a friend with LHC and she has wiped out her savings and gone into a lot of debt trying to get valid treatments for her multiple conditions. A couple of doctors told her it was all in her head. I've read that from so many on Twitter in the past year.
