I feel for you. This is such a strange virus.

My whole family got covid so I expected to be next. But I only needed to take 2 days off at work and I paused my training for just 3 days and was almost back to my normal HR/pace in less than a week since I got first symptoms. It took me 3 more weeks before I started getting negative test results.

This effect was previously known as post-viral fatigue. It's not unique to covid.

What is unusual is how long it lasts and, to some extent, how severe it can be.

Not really it's just got various names. chronic fatigue syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, post viral fatigue...

Even straight up depression. When billions of people catch the same virus unintuitive things happen.

Maybe it's a strange virus (by what metric?) But it was definitely psychologically a very strange time.
