My opinion which is born out of personal experience is aimed more at the over 50's and particularly the over 55's
You have to survive covid first.
If you survive as a recovered, you must be restored to pre-covid health.
Then you can think about going back to work in a couple of years.
Be aware, ask any unemployed 55 year old on the street, age discrimination is alive and well.
I agree with your statement about the forums, I don't believe I'm one of them.
