Exercising with COVID-19 can be dangerous Exercising with COVID-19 can be dangerous. One runner wrote, 'if you google long term COVID I’m not the only one. I had all your symptoms but no cough-I’m a fit 45 year old woman but I honestly thought I was dying. Now I get breathless doing simple things like changing sheets or loading the dishwasher and every now again for no apparent reason I get a high temperature and can’t get out of bed for a few days then I’m back to ‘normal’ . I’m embarrassed to tell people as they must think I’m milking it now! I’m sure it won’t be like that for you so don’t let me scaremonger. I just wanted to share really.'
