I did a 40 nilo4e ride yesterday and while I was tired at the ebd, I was not so exhausted that I couldn't complete it.

I watched closely and On the bike trail into the wind 10-11 mph was all that I was doing. So by the time it came to ride downwind I was too tired to do any faster.

Since this started after I had the shingles and I believe tht I have the latest covid-19 which triggered the shingles, this sudden onset of low energy is too rapid onset to be natural aging.

My metabolic panel shows everything normal except for red and white cell count which has been low ever since I injurred my lungs

Injured lungs will ALWAYS give you a HIGH red blood count,
unless you have a severe metabolic problem. That should sound all
sorts of alarms with your doctor.

so that isn't causing any additional exhaustion. My blood sugar is high side of normal.

I wonder if this has happened to anyone else who thinks that they might have had covid-19 and then a large reduction in performance?

I got COVID before the vaccine came out. Gave me myocarditis.
10 Km is about the maximum I can ride before my heart starts acting
up...
Also, I'm in my 70's, so I don't expect to ride as far as I
did 10-15 years ago. In those days I'd ride 50 km over sand and mud on
my one-gear Caloi and wouldn't feel tired at all.
Might I suggest you change doctors? A second opinion is never
a bad idea...
Also, a visit to an eye doctor might be indicated, unless a
"40 nilo4e ride" is slang I don't know.
