Last Saturday, because I had a headache, sore throat, and dry cough for two days, I went to a nearby biological testing center to get a nucleic acid test for COVID-19 before noon. I received the test results via text message on my mobile phone in the evening, confirming that I was infected with the new coronavirus, and downloaded the test report.
received the COVID-19 recovery certificate from the National COVID-19 Information Center almost at the same time: the certificate will take effect on June 29, 11 days later. The certificate can be used when crossing international borders in the world except for a few countries, and can replace the complete vaccination certificate and 48 hours. Proof of negative nucleic acid test. The technology is valid until March 2024.
The positive test information report is also added to the national anti-coronavirus communication network, so that all people who have interacted with the network can receive close contact warnings. There are currently 57.9 million first-time downloads in this completely voluntary information and communication network. Including almost every adult with a cell phone.
later received a text message from the national medical insurance department, providing advice: notify all close contacts you know and ask them to take an antibody test, wear a mask before going out for the test; have completed the vaccination procedure (three-shot vaccine or Two injections plus cure) patients will self-isolate for 7 days, or undergo an antibody test after 5 days. If negative, they can be released from isolation; there is no reminder about the need to see a doctor or what medicine to take. The only reminder is for patients with underlying diseases: immunity System defects, severe obesity, advanced age and other basic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and some rare diseases. Under such conditions, you can ask your doctor for a prescription to prevent the progression of severe COVID-19. The new drug PaxLovid. Then there is a large article of various home isolation rules designed according to different situations of each person. In particular, it is recommended to see a doctor only if symptoms become significantly severe. People who need to take a break from work can register directly on the social security website (otherwise they will work remotely).
I called all the friends I had met in the past few days (including my son) to inform them. That morning I also met an acupuncture doctor for other matters. I went there wearing a mask. He thanked me for informing me and said that they are used to this profession and it would be no problem. He asked me to have a good rest. I had originally booked tickets to see Welty's opera "Aida" that afternoon, so I had to let my son and his girlfriend enjoy it. The next day (Sunday), I planned to attend the picnic of the Society of Engineers in France and I was unable to attend. But I still insisted on going in the second round of the parliamentary election on Sunday. I walked in and out quickly, put on a mask, washed my hands with disinfectant before taking my certificate to the organizer for inspection, and brought a pen to sign my name.
started working today on Monday. Originally, our company was to go to the company two days a week and work remotely from home three days a week. This week, I will work from home five days.
Review How did you get infected with new crown ?
Recently, a new variant of the mysterious clone is popular in Europe, and and are becoming popular in various countries. France is hovering around 50,000 to 60,000 people every day, but the proportion of COVID-19 patients in hospital emergency beds has not increased, accounting for less than 20%. In this case, the government was very reassured and did not change its strategy, and the people did not panic.
A week ago, my husband and I went to Portugal for a trip. The situation there is more serious than in France. All shops are open and masks are required in transportation. However, there are many tourists in tourist spots and they do not wear masks.
I returned to France last weekend. At this time, my wife caught a cold during the trip and had a cough and a headache when she got home. I had guests at home over the weekend and took an antibody test, and the result was negative. So I felt more relaxed and had a small family gathering happily. She also took the Lianhua Qingwen capsules she had at home. I didn't feel any discomfort at this time. Last Monday, my wife had a severe cough and sore throat, but no fever. It was very much like tonsillitis caused by a cold. The cough was mainly caused by an itchy throat rather than coming from the lungs. I didn’t even take Hua Qingwen capsules, and it seemed to have no effect. She continued to work. To reduce the pain, she took paracetamol and the remaining antibiotics from before. I made an appointment with the doctor for Wednesday at the earliest. The doctor just treated it as a cold and prescribed antibiotics. By Thursday, the symptoms gradually subsided, and the pain in her head and throat was gone, but the cough had not been cured, but she had a habit of coughing easily.One year, due to a cold and cough, I recovered from the cold. The dry cough lasted for more than a year. I saw both Chinese and Western medicine. I took all the medicines and could not see anything wrong. Later, I put a scarf around my head and neck, and I gradually recovered!
But my wife always suspected that the antibody test was inaccurate, and believed that this "cold" was probably caused by the new coronavirus. There was a colleague in her workplace who had the same symptoms as hers. When her wife went to work after her vacation, the colleague had a headache and coughed. Two antibody tests were negative, but she was still suspicious, so she went for the nucleic acid test . It turned out to be positive. My wife said that if she had done nucleic acid tests at that time, she might have been positive. If you do it now, it may be too late and you won’t be able to do it.
But on Wednesday, I started to feel a little tired and had a slight headache, as if I looked at my phone too much sometimes. My head hurt more on Thursday, and there was some obstruction in the back of my nose, just like the feeling of nasal inflammation during a cold. I think it may be influenza . There are a lot of colds on the street now. In the past two years, because everyone wore masks, fewer people got colds. Now that everyone has taken off their masks, influenza has returned in large numbers, as if to regain the lost time. I also took Lianhua Qingwen Capsules. I thought this medicine was originally designed to treat colds, so it should be a good match. But on Friday, my head hurt more and my throat hurt. I started to cough and had a little runny nose, but no fever. My appetite for food remained unchanged, and I could taste and smell. There was a cultural activity that night and was also abandoned. The next day, Saturday, the nucleic acid test mentioned at the beginning of the article was available. The result is positive. Mrs.
's symptoms also recurred. She had no symptoms (except cough) on Friday, but she started having headaches on Saturday. She went for a nucleic acid test on Sunday and got a positive result today (Monday morning).
analyzes the infection route.
1, my wife was infected with the new coronavirus while traveling in Lisbon , especially at the airport or on the plane, and it was only a few days after arriving in Paris that she infected me (my vaccination protected me for a few days); she was infected with the coronavirus a week later It can also be tested positive, indicating that the new coronavirus can exist in the body of people who have completed the vaccination process for more than a week. Especially since it has been six months since my last injection.
2, my wife caught a cold first, and I was infected with COVID-19 independently in Paris (for example, on the subway). I then transmitted the COVID-19 virus to my wife, and she was only infected for a short period of time. But this process seems far-fetched.
Looking at the entire process, it is easy for the new coronavirus to obtain a transmission path, especially since almost no one wears a mask in all public places in France and the West today;
The accuracy of antibody testing is limited. A negative result may be followed by a positive infected person;
For people who have completed the vaccination process, the symptoms of the new coronavirus are like a cold. There is no need to take medicine or see a doctor. If you have a headache, take some paracetamol. If there is a bacterial infection, take antibiotics. ;
The purpose of all measures such as vaccination, self-isolation, antibody testing, wearing masks, and frequent hand washing is not to cut off the transmission path of the virus, but to slow down the spread of the virus and prevent hospitals from being overcrowded. Therefore, the strictness and precision of anti-virus measures are not very important.
Tonight (Monday), both of us have almost no obvious symptoms, but we still have to quarantine at home for a few days, go out as little as possible, wear masks when we need to go out, and try to avoid face-to-face communication with people.
