Michelle Sogge says when she tested positive for COVID-19 on June 18, she expected she’d need some recovery time. She didn’t foresee being short of breath six months later.
“Up until I got COVID, I was very healthy,” she said. “I was running 10Ks, I was climbing mountains that were 13,000 feet high.”
But three months later, long after she stopped testing positive for the virus, the 25-year-old was still struggling to walk around the backyard.
“I just couldn't do it,” she said. “I couldn't get through it without running out of breath, without really feeling the long-term effects of it. That’s been a loss for me”
