In “Check
Those Stress Levels” (Sept. 11, 2020), I said that, although COVID was first
thought to strike older and less healthy people, even people who went running were getting sick. I thought that maybe the amount of stress in people’s lives might
be a contributor to how sick they got.
Today I saw an article on Yahoo!, originally published on Insider, that recommends that people with COVID avoid exercise, even if they're asymptomatic. The article says that anything more than a brisk walk could make the infection worse, “as higher-intensity exercise can temporarily reduce immune function.”
So, even
if isn’t stress in general that gets you, don’t overdo the exercise. You may be inadvertently doing yourself some harm.
