My younger son Matt is a powerlifter. He is currently just under the NYS record of (I think) 468 pounds.
Apparently dehydration is a sneaky bi-product of this virus.
As I recall, at 20% you are dead, 15% comotose, 10% really weak, and on your back, at 5% wobbly and should act cautiously.
I personally am at the 5% mark. I need to hydrate.
There is some kind of connection. At desert conditions, 5% relative humidity, we loose one quart of water per hour through our breath.
This virus seems to leave a coating on the broncolis. Very similar to bonchitis or walking pneumonia. But it's sneaky. You don't feel it but the doc can hear you weasing without much trouble?
At some point your body decides to readjust to the new weight you are at but technically you are still dehydrated. All precautions for dehydration should be acknowledged and treated as best you can. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go with an IV.
Athletes are now doing this in the middle of the game they are involved in.
The problem here is that unless you yourself are medical personel, and can treat youself, eveyone else is so freakin' busy and EXHAUSTED that they just advise you on what to do.
Right now that is "hydrate". You need to drop caphine out of the formula. Water is best but if you can stomach it, Pedialite or Gator aid does help.
I feel my strength coming up but I'd rate myself at around 60%. Better then before at 50/50, but nowhere near the endurance that's even "normal"? It's just frustrating in the slow recovery and bordom of keeping busy.
I need to go write a song?
Lots of base and drums like headers and solid lifters?
