The general advice we have all been hearing over the past two years is that in seven to ten days one should be coming out of this pretty well and that is the recovery point. That is where most of those who get Covid find themselves. I had it in March and, sure enough, on day nine or ten, my antigen tests were becoming negative, my energy levels were up and I was able to get back to some bit of normality.

Dr. Lambert may not have the answer to my question about those in the minority situation with long Covid. They are believed by everyone in the medical body and profession. However, more importantly, are they fully believed by their employers and screening bodies such as Medmark that employers would refer them to? Is that an issue for some of these people?
