A friend of mine has Covid

He's a 39 year old ultra marathon runner. He's run a trail 50k (at over 6,500 ft of elevation with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing) as recently as April of this year.

He's currently on supplemental oxygen (despite a near super human cardio system) and has lost 22 pounds (no ultra runner carries 22 lbs of fat).

He'll probably live, but the recovery will be brutal. Hopeful there is no permanent lung scarring as that could derail much of his lifestyle.

If this thing can take down a relatively young guy in amazing health, it can take you down.

This thing is serious shit. Please, please be careful.
