COVID For The Second Time
Now, I'm curious.
Would getting the fourth vaccination help me avoid getting Covid again? I'm aware that it is done to minimise the severity of the symptoms and does not prevent us from contracting the virus itself, yet I still find myself wondering.
As it wasn't mandatory, I recall skipping the fourth one that was offered the previous time and choosing not to go because I didn't want to turn into a zombie. LOL. Kidding aside, I'll admit that since it wasn't required, I became lazy. The queue was terrible.
Do you still wear a mask at your place?
We took off ours, in September last year, It was a relief as breathing came easier and foggy eyeglasses eases up to people like me who wear one. It was so annoying as the more you speak the foggier the eyeglasses gets from your breath.
I also began to forget about COVID as the days passed. I simply went to the clinic when I became ill and did not bother doing the ART Kit test first. COVID was the furthest thing from my mind. The doctor checked on me as usual, gave me some medications to take home, and did not even inquire about it. Prior to having COVID again, everything had returned to normal. And so I thought.
Symptoms this time around
My symptoms began on a Saturday and were quite similar to those I experienced during my first COVID, with the exception that this time I experienced two days of diarrhoea and my fever fluctuated more than it did previously.
Since Covid was the last thing on my mind, ART Kit tests were done later which was around Monday night. I can't be bothered doing it but since it's our first day back to work from term break holidays and we have children to consider, I had to do the test. My colleague was the one who reminded me actually and I even joke at her if it's positive it's all on her why I can't make it to work. LOL
Of course, I also need to update the Brunei Health Code App on my phone. It immediately changed from green to purple (after reporting the findings of my Art Kit testing) and advised me to stay home isolated.
It will then prompt me to a calendar telling the dates of when to start and end the home isolation. Additionally, it requests daily updates on my symptoms and reminders of when to perform the upcoming ART kit test, which is tomorrow. If it turns negative by then, I think I'll be free by Friday. If still positive the process will be repeated yet again. A big NO for that!
THINKING POSITIVE
- No waking up early
- Well I still do for the meds but going back to bed was not a problem
- I get to binge-watch Netflix
- I finished BEEF. What's next?
- I do not need to go to work
- At least for tomorrow and Friday maybe, next week I will be OK!
- I do not need to think more than I should
- This.
- Blog more perhaps?
NAH, that last bit requires thinking so maybe NOT. 😂
I miss my treadmill run/walk though.
And yeah, I will just have to consider this time as an extended holiday. 😀
Keep safe you all and Thank YOU for reading!

I won't dive into whether the vaccine works. Regardless which side we are in, "the man" has it their way 😌 for me, I'd just treat it as a normal cold(happened exactly a year ago) and yes, the extended holiday supposed to be even better if can dragged a little later to get inline with the Eid holiday ahead 🤣
I still believe in home isolation as it helps not spread it. And most especially I worked at school it is necessary to do so. Nah, I will be fine by Friday (crossing my fingers and toes), EID is still a long way to go @davidke20 😂
Thanks for dropping by!

So the main reason why you have a longer blog now haha.. Kidding aside te.. Just spend it well na lang.. Tama binge-watching. Bet ko yan.. For me, covid is like ordinary flu na. I dunno why need to be quarantined or whatsoever.. I suffered the symptoms before and got sick for a week or so. But I never quarantined. Because we never tried to test ourselves 🤣. The whole family including me was sick lol. But we still did normal routines. Lol. I know it was covid..
protocol kasi tapos school ako work so it does makes sense to isolate. Plus masama talaga ang tama e, masakit sa katawan, lagnat at super sore throat though I'm getting there. But Imagine people who gets it from you na may virus tapos pakalat karat ka. So yun panu naman cla na mas mahina ang immune system di ba, kawawa naman so better isolate, ndi lang tau ang anak ng Diyos sabi nga nila. hehe.

I have not wear mask around but it really depends where I move. I still wear mask when necessary and been 3rd vaccinated. I am also mostly staying on top of my vaccination and generally avoid crowded places. Sorry that you had to get it again and I hope a speedy recovery for you.
In the past, I was extremely afraid of covid but now, with everything considered, I treat it like a flu and just make sure I eat healthier whenever I show symptoms of getting sick.
I was never a fan of masks so the moment it was lifted up down here I totally took it off and can't be bothered. LOL. I am feeling better now and back to my normal routine.
Thanks for dropping by @macchiata.

Glad to hear that! also yeah, some people aren't a fan of mask. To me it has been a part of my fashion but since people use it, I rarely wear it🤣- funny how that works. Anyway, glad you're back to your normal routine.
😁
I hope you feel better and recover quickly!
I wouldn’t get any more of those damn poison needles. There’s a lot of evidence coming out now that it completely obliterates the functioning of your immune system when it comes in contact with the virus. It treats it like season allergies in that you don’t fully kill it because seasonal allergies aren’t a bad thing, it’s just your body telling itself to not destroy itself since it’s just an allergy. This is NOT what you want to occur with a virus such as this. The more of the injections you get, the more your body stops fighting the virus.
Hopefully you get better quickly!
I am better now @cmplxty Thanks massive for dropping by!
