This pandemic goes beyond any prediction, calculation, and data analysis. It has been a year or more of lockdowns and quarantines.

Last March 28, 2021, the early symptoms kicked in. First, I felt the unusual tiredness and body pain. The thing is, those two symptoms stirred me to rest and just sleep the whole day. The long hours of sleep, I assumed, may end the tiredness, but it didn’t. More and more, I started to become weak and exhausted. I longed to stay in bed and sleep longer.

The thought of having the virus started to sink in. When more symptoms surfaced, it was no longer a suspicion; I knew I was COVID-19 positive. The second day of the ordeal was the start of self-isolation. Though there was no test done yet, I did early precautions to protect other household members. Doing more research about the virus on the Internet helped me in a way, but I think it also added to the anxiety and other psychological reactions.
