COVID – 19 Christ Over Virus Infection and Diseases
December 2019 a virus took over Wuhan and became pandemic by march 2020. This has left many devastated and of recent panic shopping, maybe in the fear that isolation will continue to grow among humans. For more information on this virus click here.
How I feel about this so called Virus
Friday, 13th March 2020 about 1 am, I experienced aching body and dry nose. The symptoms got worst with time, I started coughing, I felt ill, experienced headache and my body temperature increased. I was a bit scared as I thought I might have this VIRUS. I told a friend who advised me to stay safe and get in touch with my GP or NHS in few days if symptoms get worst. This was meant to be within 7 days as a normal cold will last this long, but I did not know this, so I called NHS that friday night as the symptoms got worst, but it was a long queue so I left after few minute. My University in Glasgow, Scotland (UK) also stopped face-face lecture on Friday evening and I panicked even more and messaged the University notify them of my symptoms.
Out of panic, I called my parent friday evening. My mom prayed for me and my dad who is a Nurse prescribed me some Over the counter medication, which never crossed my mind as I do not like medication and panicked I might have this popular Virus. Calling my mom encouraged me as she prayed for me. I started to re-shift my focus. “I said what if there was no virus trending at the moment, would this not just be a cold? I am not saying do not stay safe but do not let this VIRUS control your thoughts and actions. Do what is necessary and leave the rest to God. I believe fear kills faster than any other thing.”
Although I was in bed all Saturday as I continue to experience the same symptoms despite the medication, I called my parent to motivate me again, so I could eat and take my medication and kept on trusting God, I trusted him for healing. On Sunday, 15th of March, I woke up about 3 times feeling weak but later woke up around 9:30 am feeling much better and made it to church. I was so surprised at how much a shift of the mind can heal so fast. Sometimes I focus too much on the problem I forget to do the necessary. I chose to put my focus on God. On the 13th of March 2020, Donald Trump declared National Day of Prayer, because only God can heal His nation.
Hygiene is important but sometimes we forget the simple things, but this season is a reminder of the norm (what we are suppose to do). I was conscious of coughing as people might not think this is a cold. However, I was more conscious of covering my mouth when I cough or coughing with my mouth closed and washing my hands, as I do not want to transfer the cold to any body around me. Cold symptoms varies and you can read more on here if curious like myself. If at all I experience cold again, I will ensure I eat more fruits and vegetables as I am currently doing and also take medication to help my body immune fight against illness. I WILL TAKE PRECAUTIONS BUT I REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.
