Summary
Maple 53316 caught COVID-19 in November 2020 and a few weeks after testing negative could not walk, exercise or talk for long without gasping for air; the heart raced and the chest felt tight. Blood work and x-rays were clear and nasal sprays, allergy medication and inhalers did not help. Still working but rarely seeing friends, they said in October 2022 that breathlessness and manual breathing were slowly getting better.
