Thanks for sharing. Not something any of us want to experience.
What I've been seeing is that when afebrile folks hit the point where they can get out and walk a few minutes at a time without wiping themselves out, they are finally on the mend.
The exercise (which will feel harder than it should) will improve sleep (which will feel longer and less efficient than it should).
Be careful not to overdo it. I've seen a lot of athletes with viral cardiomyopathy, and one of my colleagues has always believed that high intensity exercise can increase the risk for viral infection or inflammation and damage of the heart muscle.
Take care, mijo. We worry.
