I wouldn't be this optimistic.Lol I don't give a shit about me getting covid. I am a healthy young male in great physical shape. I've been exposed to it and been totally fine.
The virus, even in its Omicron incarnation, has a lot of effects that most people will not notice.
Among them, a sharp drop in VO2max and cardiovascular health, even for mild forms (low fever around 37.5-38C, some muscular pain/discomfort, coughing, no SpO2 decrease or pneumonia).
I'd still be cautious. Can't powerlevel too much but I've monitored athletes, both vaccinated and "purebloods", and COVID each time had a pretty catastrophic effect on their performance, some of which have not recovered even after a full year since infection. Nasty weird bug, somewhat different from most flu and common colds when it comes to cardiovascular health.
