To Whom It May Concern
=====================
This is a daily update from one of my fellow Buetian friend (living in USA) about his wife and himself. I'm sharing this because there are very important information to fight with this virus.
COVID-19, Day-12: Be Aware of Premature Celebration!
———————————————————-
I was in a celebration mode since this morning!
I was having extra energy and started doing more things at home.
In the afternoon, all of a sudden, I started having dry cough. Cough was totally absent in my symptoms!! It was always absent since last 12 days for me.
The cough continued for little while. With cough came little pain in throat. This was a clear symptoms that virus trying to get from throat to lungs(it should already be in my lungs from inhaling air being close to my wife who got infected first). It never infected my throat before.
With this cough at this late stage – I am totally confused and utterly surprised as cough should come early, not at the late stage. I have read hundreds of articles and nowhere I am seeing cough coming at this late hours. This is not matching with usual progression of the diseases unless my defense is compromised and I am re -infected.
Looks like the virus continuously attacks new areas and your body needs to defend every time.
So I started taking hot water, hot tea again and after 2/3 hours no cough showing up.
Lessons learnt – you really cannot say your body has beaten the virus until you pass 21 days or three weeks. And within 21 days the virus can turn deadly at any day. ( Even after21 days , after a month, you might still get re-infected as reported by the Chinese patients)
Let’s not do a premature celebration if you are infected with COVID-19. And Donot loosen up your practices of hot water, hot tea and lungs exercises. And Donot relax within this 21 days since your infection started.
This virus works relentlessly for some folks against their body defense ( for some don’t do anything).
Overall still we are getting better. We need to pass three weeks all together.
What I am writing is a true experience of this disease.
I could hide these minor symptoms and get better tomorrow and write a perfect good status tomorrow of my disease. But in a situation like this – more transparency will create more awareness among other possible infected members.
So let’s see what this disease brings in coming days.
Prayers for all infected members. May Allah save us from this nasty virus.
