cubing after COVID sickness

[KellanTheCubingCoder]

Has this happend to anyone else? I contracted COVID-19 last week, and now whenever I cube my hands are shaking and I average 1-2 seconds slower than usual. Any tips for getting past this?

As someone who contracted COVID in the past, you kind of just need to wait it out. Take a break from cubing, rewatch some old JRCuber videos, and if it gets worse, go to a doctor. Get well soon!

This was how i took a near 5 month break. I had covid very badly and i was excited to get my new cubes in the mail, and i just wasnt getting better, and i felt so slow. You will get over it though, i made the mistake of letting it get to me and not solving. Just keep doing solves and analyse what you are doing wrong.

Best advice is just wait, like everyones saying.
I have contracted covid more than once and thats what i did.
((my parents didnt think you could get it more than once and told me i was fine.))

Thanks for the advice. I am feeling better, still not solving quite as good but ok

I’ve gotten COVID twice (thrice if you count the time everyone in the house got sick except me, which presumably means I was “asymptomatic”), but it never really was bad for me. It sucks that you’re experiencing that, but like everyone is saying the best thing you can do is just wait. You could probably still do some practice with slow-solves or anything that doesn’t rely on your speed

Haven't contracted Covid yet but my hands are considerably more shaking than before since a work accident 2 months ago and you honestly just need to relearn fingertricks to turn more accurately.

when i was sick (and still am sick but just feeling basicly fine) i didn't have hand problems but i just couldn't care enough/too little care to play attention, i felt crap cuz i wanted to learn pll but i just couldn't take it slow and take a break if you need, maybe try making your own method? (no matter how bad it is) and just have fun!

I contracted covid 3 times. (I guess I'm just really unlucky)

The last time I contracted it, I did a whole ao1000. The ao1000 was 17 seconds. I averaged 13 at the time.

I kept solving, and it went away after about a week.

Maybe take the time to work on efficiency instead of worrying about solving as fast as possible. Get better soon
