Until recently, many questioned whether he did this “dangerous virus” that everyone is talking about and write, angry at the authorities that made up the withdrawal, and proved to each other that the seasonal SARS was sick and always… So it was up to a certain point, when COVID-19 ceased to be a kind of data set statistics, graph and chart. Coronavirus is no longer something Chinese or Italian, it became the Moscow acquired entity, the names of my friends, buddies and acquaintances. They ill not some unknown people, for me, the coronavirus has ceased to be impersonal, and I don’t just believe in his existence, but stopped to whine and complain that sitting at home tedious and boring. I realized that if I want to get out of the house, want an end to this nightmare, I will strictly comply with all regulations adopted by the city, will endure, because I want to live, I want to be healthy my parents, friends, and all everything. “Tell reliably where my husband was infected, I can’t. From 6 to 9 March we were in the Czech Republic. At the moment after visiting this country was not mandatory quarantine, and there are no restrictions on visiting were not. But we already knew that there is such a virus come from China to Europe. To say that we have contracted in the Czech Republic, with confidence also can not, because we were extremely careful. I’ve never seen Prague so empty. When we went to dine, were often the only customers in the cafe. One day went to the mountains. Tried to have been minimum contacts with people. I tend to believe that the place of infection were airports”, — says Irina.

Back in Moscow, the couple decides to sit in isolation, especially as the spouse of Irina rose a slight fever. The doctor called to the house, put SARS. Day two at men the temperature was high, then started to decline. At the very Irina any alarming symptoms were not, it all started on the 5th day after his arrival.”I woke up last night from what my temperature rose sharply. There is all, that is, on the click, instantly. In 23 hours I went to bed a healthy person, at 3am, they were already sick. Two days the temperature is not reduced in any way. I called an ambulance. All of these events I had a viral respiratory infection in February, and I had residual bronchitis. Ie, cough as a symptom I have remained ever since. The ambulance brought us to the local doctor, who also put SARS. However, for several days the temperature remained high. I was hoping that I will host as my husband, a couple of days. And then it became harder to breathe. It’s not pain, but very unpleasant sensation on the inhale and exhale. We have all visited a doctor�� listened to the lungs and in one voice said that they are clean. It was not their fault, because later it became known that the wily coronavirus pneumonia not heard. On the sixth day the high temperature I was hospitalized. It turned out that he has pneumonia. And started antibiotics, pills, injections, intravenous. Her husband was hospitalized. When I was tested positive for the coronavirus, he also did a test but it was negative. Although when he took the analysis was the 14th day since the return from the trip. I do not exclude that he had been ill in the first week mild, and maybe PCR is not sensitive enough to show the remnants of the virus,” — said Irina.Irina is 38 years old, she’s the editor of a large publishing house, played sports, chronic diseases do not suffer. “I considered and continue to consider themselves generally healthy. I do swimming, yoga, lead a healthy lifestyle. So when they began to tell me that the virus is terrible only for the elderly people and those with chronic illnesses, I have experienced what this great delusion. The enemy does not want to go through what I did. Just try to breathe for some time through the cushion. The Essentials of life is air, and you can’t breathe normally. Careless to be impossible. Once again, I considered myself a healthy person, but as it turned out, any previous infection weakens the body, it automatically takes you to the list of those who will take a coronavirus infection hard enough. No need to tempt fate. If the load on health care is exceeded, it will be very bad. Because the situation is developing very rapidly. Enough people have time to react to the dramatically changing situation in their body? I don’t know. Will there be enough for a large influx of patients at the hospital, doctors, drugs, hospital beds at one time? No. Therefore, do not overestimate yourself” — sure, Irina.Now several weeks have passed from the date of issue. Irina is at home with his family: “I am very grateful to all medical staff in the infectious disease Department of Dolgoprudny city hospital. Brilliant doctors, nurses responsive. All were very supportive. Two weeks later, I have to do a CT scan. I have great fear wait for it, because I read that with light coronavirus after going on the wildest story. Now do breathing exercises. I called the hotline, offered his services as a donor, I was rejected from-for small weight. But I left my room, suddenly call”.

Rita, a relative of my good friend. Abroad was not with foreigners did not communicate, among her friends, no one who has recently returned from abroad. It suggests that infection could on public transport, but not sure. And here’s the paradox “terribly contagious virus” — none of her colleagues nor her daughter that they live in the same apartment, not sick. Rita for 41 years, until the diagnosis, she does not seriously hurt, apart from seasonal SARS, and they bore easily, so a low temperature at first did not attach importance.”31 Mar appeared inexplicable burning sensation in the chest, I at first thought that the problems started with a heart, and called an ambulance. Came brigade took a cardiogram, which showed that the heart is no problem. Then started having problems breathing — the feeling that not enough air, and the doctor listening to the lungs, immediately decided that you need hospitalization. Already in the hospital in the picture became visible bilateral pneumonia. Test the “crown” gave a positive result. The condition was awful, pain throughout my body wanted to climb the wall. The constant lack of air. Weakness. So my life is divided into before and after,” recalls Rita.

Talking with her on the phone, after each phrase she pauses — sorry that I can’t breathe. Breathing still hard. The cough remains, but not so suffocating. Treated Rita in GKB them. Mukhina. According to her, patients with this diagnosis had a lot of different ages.”It was said that the coronavirus is dangerous only for the elderly. This is not so. With me in the house was a girl of 18. She was taken to the intensive care unit. Many lay people my age. All were carrying the disease in different ways. Ie to say that the virus is easier, for example, young, I can’t. We didn’t sleep — saw constantly taking patients. It seems to me that the doctors were working round the clock. I don’t know how they have enough strength and patience. Today, when many say that self-isolation is not needed, I am horrified. People, think again, because if you do not observe all precautions, to which we are called, hospitals will be overcrowded. Many thanks to the doctors, they are at the limit. They do make quite a feat, and in our power to help them. Sitting at home, we will reduce the burden on the hospital”, says Rita.She is glad that the is home and can walk head is still spinning from weakness, but she began to feel the food taste, sense of smell, and most importantly — it can breathe! The test gave a negative result, the disease has receded.And Irina and Rita — both are on the mend. Muscovite told their stories, not in order to scare us, although it is also. But once again urge one and all to prudence. Coronavirus — this is not fake, not conspiracy theory, and he is already there, they suffer heavily, and the youth is not a vaccine against infection. Sit at home, be Terpolivy, take care of their loved ones and respect the work of doctors, not in words but in deeds.
