They all had covid.

Before covid existed, I had an heart attack after an bacterial lung infection which basically did the same damage covid is doing. Recovering from the infection to then having a heart attack time for me was seven months. It wasn't until after the event I realised there's a clear connection between lung infections and heart attacks, its well documented.

I found it surprising the same recovery recommendation for a bacterial/virial lung infection was not in place for covid.. "Refrain from strenuous activities for 18 months" due to heart damage and risk of caused from the lungs swelling.

But nah, greed and stupidity has all those professional athlete's that've had covid back out on the field turning them from sports people into high risk of cardiac event people.

18 months and your heart will repair any damage done.. as long as your not straining it more and if you are, then you really want to get an angiogram done before recommencing your routine.
