it makes sense to have at least another 2 weeks off the bike
Obvs I'm not a doctor and have no idea about what to do when recovering from Covid but a couple of years ago I had an experience where I broke two ribs and several weeks later developed pneumonia because I had not been breathing deeply enough and my lungs were not clearing themselves out.
I've seen some things to suggest breathing exercises to make sure you're doing the best for your lungs when recovering from Covid. I do wonder whether some light exercise would be beneficial in terms of making sure your lungs get a proper inflating?
Obviously wouldn't have to be cycling. Maybe even a stiff brisk walk oevery day.
Would be curious to know if light exercise helps with Covid outcomes.

Finally feeling a bit more alive. Antibiotics have done their thing, and the grizzly productive cough is under control, temps are back to normal, sense of smell and taste are coming back.
Was considering when and how I should get back on the bike, just saw the timely GCN video on cycling and Covid, it makes sense to have at least another 2 weeks off the bike. As I've had intermittent periods of SVT, especially when under the weather fighting some kind of cold/flu virus, I'm going to take it really easy.
