Just been speaking to a friend who had covid last year and recently spoke to a Doctor.
Here are his suggestion that may help anyone with covid.

1/ Take some immunity boosters, herbal supplements. Whatever.

2/ Sleep inclined. Use 3 or 4 pillow to raise your torso to a 20 degree angle or similar.
Lying flat makes your breathing harder.

3/ Exhale when you can through a straw. You will get rid of some debris in your lungs and it will exercise your lungs.

One of those sun deck recllner lounges might be very good.

I won't comment about 2 and 3, but the only thing #1 does is reduce your bank account. The only supplement that may work is vit D.

Probably the biggest thing you missed is getting adequate sleep.

I can vouch for 2, from both anecdotal and personal experience.

3 sounds similar to advice given to those with respiratory issues such as COPD or emphysema.

The theory is, if you exhale through pursed lips (as if trying to whistle) the air passages and alveoli
(the air-sacs at the ends of the air passages) don't collapse as readily. The issue being that it's not
so much that you can't get enough oxygen IN, but that you can't get enough CO2 OUT due to the
collapse of the aforementioned air passages etc. and the slight back-pressure that exhaling this way
produces serves to delay the collapse.

And no, it's not my 'opinion' or social-media bullshit - it's sound medical advice which is given
to sufferers of these and other respiratory issues.
