It is very difficult to measure the amount of content that we have created and read about the virus, I think that we have become oversaturated with so much information, statistics, number of deaths, recovered or infected with the virus. But, have any of us had a close experience? That is, did you get infected, a family member or a neighbor? Has someone close or known died?
Wooo it is relatively easy to see the bulls from the sidelines, but quite another thing when we feel it bellow in the back. I want to share with you my closest personal experience with the virus.
This is my story...
According to data, the Municipality of Uracoa has a population of approximately 11,000 people, most of which are concentrated in the capital where I live with my family, everything in this place was quiet until last week when two neighbors died in suspicious situations, according to which the Those closest to them had symptoms similar to Covid-19.
In addition to that, an outbreak of a "virus similar" to covid-19 began that is affecting many residents, all this has unleashed panic in the population that is very nervous; The authorities have carried out some "quick tests" that have shown positive results in some people and not in others.
The problem according to some is that the results of the rapid tests are not reliable and the PCR tests go to the capital (Caracas) and take 6 days to know the results, this increases uncertainty and doubt, since many are saying in the street that we are facing an important chain of contagion but the government is trying to ignore the matter.
That is what is said on the street I can not say.
Background of similar events.
In past months, two events occurred that alarmed the population, but they did not go beyond being an alarm. In the first, the rumor spread that three patients with covid-19 were transferred to isolate them in the town hospital, people from various sectors were immediately mobilized, they closed the road with debris preventing the passage of the ambulance that brought the transfer, it is not known I confirm if they were indeed patients with covid-19.
The second case was an agricultural producer of the population who was diagnosed positive in the "rapid test", they isolated him, they isolated the family, and a wave of panic was unleashed that ended 6 days later when the test arrived from the capital (Caracas); The man was later diagnosed with malaria.
So today we are facing a similar situation, a lot of fear in the streets, with an outbreak of a "similar virus" but many do not dare to take the test but decide to treat themselves at home.
My personal experience.
Last Friday night I began to feel bad, to get up on Saturday having contracted this "similar virus" that has turned out to be an unpleasant experience, the symptoms that I have presented are: Fever, headache, pain in the body and weakness, total loss of smell and taste and today I woke up with a little diarrhea.
Of all these days the ones that I felt the most bad were Saturday and Tuesday, today is the day that I have felt the best that is why I am writing. Here I apologize to everyone for not responding to a comment, this situation has kept me in bed and I have not posted or responded to a comment in several days.
Now, there are those who say that the figures that the national government provides about those infected with covid-19 are false, that the real ones double the official ones, I particularly do not like to be alarmist and I always subject myself to the official figures, but, if there are an outbreak of covid-19 and I select by roasting which ones are positive for covid-19 and which ones for the "similar virus" the figures will logically not rise that fast.
Tell me about your experience!
