Although Corona recovery was a roller-coaster ride, the
above title pretty much sums up my Corona journey. What started as a simple
symptom of fever eventually put me into thinking – what really matters the most
in life is our health and family.
Did I mention family? My whole family tested Corona
positive one after another and everyone was hospitalized. In hindsight, what we
overlooked was un-controlled deliveries to home which could be a potential
cause. To be truthful, you never really know how you can contact the virus; so
stay home, wear a mask, and keep social distancing.
After all, it was not so scary for us. Corona effects
started showing up and my home quarantine took an interesting turn. Initially,
I was skeptical, but I got a lot of time to introspect on what I really wanted.
The OTT platform was a saviour and I watched all 4 seasons of “Money Heist” in
the 2 weeks 😊
It was also not completely rosy as we were stuck by
Remdesivir injection shortage. This is where both family and friends chipped in
for the search and to get the same. I am a part of Amdocs Blossom Volunteers,
which now has a WhatsApp group, which is helping many people. This is in
addition to the Amdocs Covid Helpdesk which is an amazing initiative. A
worthwhile mention of Amdocs Medi-assist team especially Pramod, who helped me
on a holiday to close my hospital billing and discharge formalities
However, it was a good learning experience. My
recommendation to others is don’t freak out if you get infected. Being
vaccinated helps as it reduces the risk of severe infections. And use this time
to chill, introspect, and catch up on stuff you always want to do.
COVID-19 has taught me that ‘If you can’t go
outside, go inside the refrigerator or yourself...
Actually, go inside first,
always. Regardless of what is happening outside 🕉💖☯️
