Those who won the battle with Corona

Coronavirus infection has spread in Bangladesh like other countries of the world. The number of people affected by corona is increasing every day. Many are returning healthy, and the death march is getting longer. Some who are fighting coronavirus have shared their experiences and feelings.
Understood, the joy of survival is

Speaking of the end of March. I was feeling pain in my body for two or three days. I also felt distaste for food. Meanwhile, one night my son, realizing the symptoms of corona, started screaming. We have been cautious since the outbreak of corona in the city. The boy doesn’t go out on his own. I was wondering, what could be affected! That night I also had a fever with shivering, with severe pain.

I told the boy to go for corona test in the morning. Feeling a little better, I went to work. I work at Boston Children’s Hospital. After taking medicine at noon in the office, the fever went down a lot. However, the fever came again at night, the pain began. Good day, sickness at night — two days passed like this.

The boy is scheduled to report on April 2. At 12 o’clock I received the boy’s text message, ‘I have tested positive’. It was not difficult to understand, the boy is affected by Corona, that means we too. I went out with the permission of the supervisor. I took my husband straight from the office to the hospital. I had a fever, so I took the test. My husband did not test because he did not have a fever.

I returned home with the advice to follow the rules. The only medicine was tyranol and liquid food. Soup, juice — these had to be drunk. But I did not get any taste in my mouth.

On the afternoon of April 4, the hospital informed me that my corona report was positive. I was a little scared to hear the news. People close to me know that there are cases where I have to go to the operating room mentally, fearlessly. But I can’t describe how scared I was that night. I just wondered why the night is so black, so quiet, so many people in the world, why I feel lonely! My daughter’s face in another city was floating in front of my eyes again and again. I wanted to run to the boy’s house. Meanwhile, the body is stuck in the pin mixed with millions of poisons, why not in the morning! God, I want to live many more years. For the first time in my life, I begged the Creator for my life.

At dawn, the fever was a little less, with pain. The whole day went like this. April 5 and 6 were similarly cut. From the evening of April 6, it seemed that I was having difficulty breathing, and as the night progressed, the difficulty continued to increase. I thought, mind you wrong. I fell asleep. After three o’clock at night, I felt as if someone was holding my throat again and again. I got out of bed and told my husband to call the emergency service number: 911. I went to the hospital when the ambulance arrived. Did many tests, ECG, chest X-ray, blood test. Gave saline. At six in the morning the doctor came and said, ‘Your laboratory test is very good, we will release you soon.’

Coming out of the hospital, it seemed that Corona had left this world. I returned home with a lot of courage and strength in mind. Although the body was not giving consent. I started eating forcefully, with breathing exercises. Oh life! What a beautiful life, so much joy to live!

Earth Kishore, Bhairab, Kishoreganj will tell the story again

‘What are you looking at, transparent light? / You have seen wrong, you are dying.

I took a picture while sitting on my designated bed in Corona Ward. Rows and rows of mosquito nets seemed to frighten the light and the darkness. I wrote about those early days with that picture on Facebook. I said that staying at home is the best medicine to prevent corona.

I am now spending my days in the corona ward of Kurmitola General Hospital in the capital. There are 16 or 17 people infected with coronavirus like me. They are calling on the Creator to accept an infallible truth of nature. If someone’s physical condition deteriorates, action is being taken. Some are saying goodbye. On April 15, the two of them stopped breathing from the bed in front of me forever. Then the inside trembled with unknown fear. I have a lot left to do. I can’t lose to an invisible virus.

I came to this hospital from Bhairab in Kishoreganj with this morale. From the beginning, people close to him are constantly providing courage. Even a few days ago, everything was normal. I was sitting in my drug store. When the infected people were found in Narayanganj, Narsingdi, Kishoreganj, I have been working daily since then. However, on April 9, I suddenly felt that my cough had increased. I had a cough like that a month ago, so I didn’t feel like it. But fever from the next day. Without neglecting, I let the corona sample be tested on 12 April. I received the report on April 13, Corona is negative. I was relieved to know I was not infected. But that relief faded after a few hours. It was later reported that Corona was positive.

I was afflicted with a disease unknown to the people of the world. Although I was scared, I did not lose my morale. I immediately decided not to go home, I have to make arrangements so that no one is attacked through me. He told me from the hospital whether I would come to Dhaka or not. Considering the safety of the family and the people of the area, I agreed. On the same day I went to Kurmitola General Hospital in a special vehicle at my own expense.

If the creator wants, I will come back to my dear people soon. A lot of words, a lot of stories are gathering, friends will come back and hang out, stories will come alive again. (Transcribed)

As if we got a new life
Nasirul Islam, Galarate, Italy

Galareta, 40 kilometers from the famous Italian city of Milan. Dad and I live in a tiny, small town. Other members of the family came at different times of the year but now everyone is in Dhaka. We have been aware of this since the coronavirus spread throughout Italy.

In such a situation, on March 9, my father Sirajul Islam Hawladar suddenly fell ill. The cold-fever started. As the day progressed, the fever continued to rise. The well-known doctor heard the symptoms and sent a prescription. But the fever was not reduced. Meanwhile, on March 13, I also started feeling sick. Sudden onset of fever, runny nose, body aches and mild cough.

As much as I didn’t think about my illness, I thought a lot about my father. He had heart and lung problems a year ago. I was wondering what would happen if I had a corona infection. With that thought, on March 19, my father’s shortness of breath began. When the special number is called, the doctors engaged in the service of Corona victims come. The next day, when the father was taken to the hospital, he was given artificial oxygen. Examination of the sample revealed that the corona was positive.

Meanwhile, my physical problems also began to manifest. Before the taste of food was gone, I could not smell anything. It happened in the middle, sleep is not coming. The nights passed without sleep. But if you do not sleep, the illness will increase, the doctors said. They give some more suggestions. Since I did not have any breathing difficulties, I stayed at home following those instructions.

In those days, I felt close to the family people in Bangladesh. I didn’t tell them about the attack at the beginning thinking it would be worrying, I informed them a few days later.

At home I used to cook alone. I was forced to eat tasteless foods. Meanwhile, I was looking for my father on the phone. A week later he recovered somewhat. Since I was infected at home, he was transferred to another hospital and kept in quarantine. Sample testing is done there. Four-point tests are performed in a few days. His report came negative in the last test. Meanwhile, I also recovered. On the advice of the doctor, the father came home on April 12. Let’s fight coronavirus for a month and get new life!
