Summary
Falcon 67450 caught COVID in April 2020 and was left with constant shortness of breath, worse when speaking, and back pain. By March 2021 the breathlessness was bad; it later subsided, leaving difficulty speaking for long periods. Swimming helped a little but not consistently, and breathing training with The Breather did not. Lung function tests, CPET and a CT scan found no explanation.

The swimming seems to be the only thing that helped a bit, but nothing consistent or long lasting.
