😷 COVID-19 🚑
Anywhere I go, there will be a potential carrier.
My husband goes to
work.
My child to school.
I know the
government is doing all that it is necessary.
But what is my
contribution towards the world health?
Nothing!
I blame the Chinese
for eating bats.
I blame the Chinese
scientists for infecting the community.
I blame the people on Diamond Princess–Rich people, eh!
I blame the
travelers.
DO YOU KNOW?
The mass hysteria is not helping.
Nor pelting of
stones on the bus is.
I am sure the
Australian who died last week died of disease.
But think about
this:
He survived the
quarantine–hoping to return home.
Then went back to
Australia–hoping to see his family.
I imagine that they handled him with all precautions.
Sent him into isolation.
Treated like
untouchable.
And the quarantine
in the hospital did nothing to pep up his spirits.
His will to live
died.
The official
statement is he was 78 years old and had some other health issues.
Also according to report, first week the symptoms are mild and worsens on the second.
One week at the
hospital is enough to kill your spirits, the second one only the
brave survives
MY HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE
I was in a hospital once for appendectomy.
I fought with the
doctor and got myself released on the third day.
I felt sick looking
at my attendant and wanted my mother at my side.
I was 21 years old then.
I was 21 years old then.
Before I went to the
hospital to deliver my baby, I asked all my in-laws not to leave me
in the hospital alone.
Imagine the mental state of these quarantined people.
Living in isolation for a
week conjures a ‘white’ picture.
More About Hospital
They were yet to remove the dead body, waiting for relatives perhaps.
Immediately, I
requested my father’s release and shifted him to a nursing
home.
Thankfully, he was
not suffering from an infectious disease.
IT IS ALWAYS THEIR FAULT
It is their fault.
Now what?
We loved
globalization.
We loved when it
meant increased exports.
We loved when it
meant a world of opportunities open for us.
We loved those
foreign trips.
We love those
international brands.
Now let’s take the
responsibility.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
1️⃣ Slow down.
This
is not the time to start an enterprise, except if you can help in
containing and treating the disease.
2️⃣ Support the government in all their measures.
I loved the way Paul Berenger
(leader of a political party in the opposition) came forward and
appreciated the efforts of our medical and paramedical staff.
3️⃣ Take all precautions outlined by WHO.
4️⃣ Spend time with your friends and family.
5️⃣ Be nice on social media and show support.
SOME IDEAS FOR PATIENTS
It is difficult to be in quarantine, especially when you are expecting the worse to happen.
But small efforts
can help you survive the worst.
1. Play with a Rubik’s cube. It is a good exercise for the brain.
2. Press a sponge
with your hand and fingers. It will exercise some muscles. Also if
you can, lift your legs and play with your feet.
3. Do some breathing exercises.
4. While lying down, change the side on which you are lying often to avoid bedsores. Talk to neighbors or to anybody
who is willing.
5. And do not lose
You can also make a
mental list 💬 of all that you will do once you are healthy. Happy
thoughts fortify your immune system.
More Hospital Story
When I was in the hospital, the attendant warned me
Take charge and follow all rules to
get out of the place as soon as possible.
All I want to
say is:
Do not give up without a fight, dude.
