Summary
Island 52300 became intensely anxious and brain-fogged after H3N2 influenza in late December; for the first two weeks they slept at least 12 hours and had no energy after a walk. Physical tiredness eased after week two, and they could jog, sprint and attend all college lectures, but they still had anxiety, insomnia, stomach problems and poor focus. A half gym session brought arm pain, diarrhoea and insomnia.
