When the Guardian’s Luke Harding began suffering symptoms of Covid-19 he assumed he would be laid low for a couple of weeks. He had a shortness of breath and chest pains, and although he was unable to get a test he was certain it was Covid-19. Five months later, he tells Mythili Rao, he is still suffering. Hundreds of people are forming online communities to discuss myriad long-term symptoms, from headaches and digestion issues to nerve damage and searing lung pain. One of them was Iulia Hammond, a junior doctor still not back at work five months after first developing Covid-19 symptoms.
