Biopsies of the most powerful muscle in the thigh from 18 COVID patients revealed the muscles in four of them increased “massively” while in the ICU. The type 1 and type 2 fibers in these patients grew by 62 and 32 percent, respectively.

Yeah, hematoma and other circulatory damage can do that.

If you want, read the complete research. But better: don't bother.

Not really no.
A co worker lost 80lbs after the Covid 19 induced coma.
He must be 90lbs right now.

Covid works better if you stack it with creatine and HMB.

The article also says the exact opposite can happen, lol
"COVID also leads to severe muscle shrinkage
 However, when the study authors excluded the patients with severe swelling from the results, the remaining patients displayed significant muscle shrinkage (https://www.studyfinds.org/muscle-mass-vital-sign/). In patients without COVID swelling, their type 1 muscle fibers shrank by 11 percent and their type 2 muscles decreased by 17 percent."
