COVID-19 madness

COVID-19 my Quarantine is finished...

By Reiner KnappPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

First of all, in my case, the disease was kind of mild. For my wife it was terrible. You don't really want to get it. Headache where you think your head explodes, worse than Migrin if you know what its like. Going every hour to the toilet vomiting for several days. That's how it was for my wife.

For me, it was like a little flue. When I got up in the morning I felt dizzy. But that was for a short time, during the day it disappeared. A little cough, that was it.

After my 9th day was the first time that my Covid test was negative.

I could go out of prison. YES… prison. I was looking in my bedroom for the last 9 days. I was only allowed to do my daily shower and then use the guest toilet for the rest of the day. After the shower, I had to disinfect the bathroom for my family. The rest of the day I had to stay in my bedroom. Food was brought to my bedroom. A real prison.

Anyway, since my test was negative I became free. We still kept our distance, but at least we shared food at the same table. We saw each other. 

I did go for a walk to get fresh air. And now what is that? I realized that I got tired very fast. I was coughing outside. Walking a short distance got me exhausted. I hope that will change soon. I don't want to think about how somebody has to fight with a weak immune system.

I am fine :), the day after I went back back to work.

I am really glad that covid-19 didn't do so bad to me. But our legal system seems to be collapsing. Now not everybody recieves a PCR Test. It's only for people who are working for the health system. Everybody else has to test themself, if positive 2 times and than isolate themself.

When you need a certificat for work. The doctor will send you to the public health system and they are very occupied. It is impossible to call by telefone. Sending an email will take very long to receive an answer. Finally you need to get your license from the doctor. So don't let you be sent away.

It is a lot of hussle when you get infected by Covi-19. Just the legal paperwork can give you a lot of headaches. The restrictions don't make any sense at all.

How about that, my wife gets positive confirmed with an PCR test. As we know getting the results from the test, takes 48 hours. I am, as her direct contact, we sleep together, kiss each other... but I am vaccinated.

Just for beeing vaccinated I am no risk for the society. And I don't have to go into quarantine.

Honestly does this makes sense?

In my opinion it just happened what had to be.

After 5 days when my wife was teasted positive, I became positive too. But in these 5 days I went to work and contaminated my colleges. My buddy, my direct partner at work became positive 3 days after my results. My colleagues from the other shifts got infected another 3 days later. Nobody really doesn't bother.

As I have started working, we are only 3 workers in my section left. Two of us are returners from covid-19 quarantine out of 10. Amazingly production still is working, but we have to do 3 times more than normal. I really hope that my employer doesn't take the results as a standard.

That would be a real disaster. We would get burned out very quickly. As days go by, my colleagues are returning one by one. Hopefully, no one had to go to the hospital. I still don't know.

This is my true personal experience with Covid-19.

Wishing everybody to stay healthy!
