My plan was to start training hardcore again on Monday, June 6.
But after reading that I'm not so sure. That's some spooky shit.
However, are your links actually about that? Excuse my ignorance, but I see they discuss bacterial infection, and how it's more dangerous than a viral infection. Also, I don't see anything mentioned about 18 months recovery. Where did you get that information? I can't find anything online recommending an 18 month recovery period.

18 months came from my doctor at the time.
Google "bacterial lung infection heart attacks"
Random one:

"JAMA found that the risk of cardiovascular disease increases for up to a year following a pneumonia infection"
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-92220-0
12.6% COVID-19 patients had secondary bacterial infections.
I'd lean on the safe side and next time your at the doc ask for a full blood test and heart check. Problem is that should be fairly standard by now and it isn't.
