This summer we finally relaxed a lot after years of masking, and BAM, a child coughed right on my wife's face and she got long covid. Fortunately she seems to be almost totally recovered now (fingers crossed for no relapse) , but she has spent two months with fatigue and headaches strong enough to prevent her from working or doing many daily activities.
My wife is in her 30s and healthy. COVID can still be quite brutal, although of course the extent of the measures one should take is highly debatable and subjective.
I got another round of rona in February of this year and suddenly became so tired. I needed 14+ hours of sleep and concentrating was next to impossible. The fatigue was overwhelming at times. Some six months later I'm on my way out of that now, with more good days than bad.
It's good that she had you to rely on. I did a lot of reading on long covid and there were and so are so many people isolated because they're basically spent all the time.
