COVID Hair Loss

I havent been seeing many people talk about this here. My family has no history of balding, at least not young. My grandpa on my mothers side lost his hair in his late 40’s. My dad has a widows peak but has hair. I also have a widows peak. Recently I genuinely thought i was balding & started panicking. I had covid a month ago & ever since then i started noticing some crazy shedding & diffuse thin hair. Now all i need to do is just let it run its course. It said on the internet 20-30% of patients experience it & it takes 6 months to make a full recovery. Its super interesting what the body can do, specifically telogen effluvium.
