I Do Not Want COVID Again ❌
I thought if I ever catch up Covid and need to isolate, I will use my time best on productivity i.e writing blogs , reading books but No, I was grounded by the symptoms.
An unprecedented Covid 19 virus first seen in 2019 was largely spread around the world and still exists despite vaccines been rolled out. In these two years, I had been god’s favourite meaning I had no positive test neither symptomatic. But a week ago, I tested positive in this recent breakout of Omicron virus. Now what? I need to stay in isolation for a week which I hated.
Firstly, it started with my wife. She had a migraine attack at workplace and ambulance was called out to take her to hospital. She was taken to William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, I followed her in my car. After she was discharged, I took her home to rest. She began to experience high fever and headache. At night I took care of her as much as feasible to bring down the temperature. Next day morning ever we doubted Covid, we did a PCR test. There we were fortunate to have a Covid Positive and stay home whole week.

As we never experienced Covid before, we caught up all the symptoms. We even asked other colleagues how would it feel to get symptoms of Covid? Someone answers I had no symptoms at all and someone says truly its the worst headache and high body temperature. Symptoms we caught were:
- Headache
- Sore throat
- High fever
- Loss of Smell
- Dry cough
We tried every home remedies to get rid of the symptoms but the best remedy to heal Covid is time and food. We did eat a lot, Yes! and we needed that energy to fight back the virus. We did eat chicken soup, rice, fruits (rich in Vitamin C) and another thing we slept a lot because it was necessary to get a good rest. Later in 3 days time, we got rid of symptoms, then we cleaned the house to avoid getting caught up by virus again. My wife was happy about getting positive and the reason is we got all the time in the world to spend time together. If you are staying in UK then you would know how it feels to manage time to get together. On 6th and 7th day respectively we did a Lateral Flow Test where we got ‘Negative’ result and got out of the house on 7th day. Simply, we followed the government guidance.

These days people take Covid very lightly which we shouldn’t do. If the Covid symptoms catch any elderly its very difficult they fight back. I was lucky as a youngster, I had all the energy to fight back. Hence, we should think about the people around us and have a feeling of compassion.
Government is doing best to eradicate the virus from this world in conjunction with the medical experts, we should do our best by following the government guidelines.
