Negative

Never have I been so happy to be negative. Covid19 negative to be exact.

Tomorrow we are going to the clinic to have our quarantine bracelets removed, and life goes on. We go on living until the next adventure.

How does it feel to be in suspense, not knowing the outcome of the PCT test? Not fun. Daily we wait for a result, and ours was delayed due to the new year holidays. I can only imagine how overworked everyone in the hospitals and testing centres and labs are; handling literally thousands of samples daily.. and the strain on the government coffers, just because of this coronavirus.

How does it feel to be found covid19 positive and brought to quarantine? Hubby accepted the covid19 positive results quite calmly- he had said that it is just another virus; life or death is not in our hands. The only 'exhilarating' experience was the ride in the ambulance on the night of 23 December to Sungai Buloh Quarantine Centre. The inside of the ambulance was darkened, and the driver sped his way through traffic. Other than that, the experience in the quarantine centre was rather mundane- a lot of waiting- and the food was not delectable (according to him); eventually he made friends and now they belong to the "Covid19 Alumni" group.

On the plus side though, those found positive will already have immunity signature in their blood plasma and the likelihood of re-infection is very small to none. The rest of us will have to continue taking precautions and vitamins and comply to SOPs. No matter. All these happened for a reason.

Hubby now has this bravado that he is immune from the virus. It is an interesting approach, and I do love his outlook of life.
