This is his 2nd time and he has been much more poorly this time. Is it a different variant I wonder?

Some days he has hardly eaten a thing. On Thursday he was feeling a bit brighter so he went and got a hair cut. He was out of the house for an hour max. As a result yesterday he was so tired he didn’t get out of bed until 5pm.

His throat, fever and cough etc are all better - it’s just the aches and tiredness. He’s 16 - he’s usually out with friends and at the gym. He had hoped to get a job this summer. He has his GCSE results next week and I really hope he’ll be better and able to celebrate.

I have been and bought fruit, smoothies etc but I just don’t know what else to do. I really want to help him. Bloody covid.

Any suggestions?!
