CovidsituationinJapanenteranotherphase

Hi, I’m Kay!

I am currently working at the shopping mall

which is directly connected to the station.

In the past two weeks,

It seems the announcements of anti-Covid

in the store has changed.

From the first time I heard it,

“What?” I had a feeling of discomfort.

Did I hear that wrong???

And two or three times in a day,

The same announcement started to play

Even my coworkers that I usually can share

about the discomfort I feel,

She didn’t seem to empathize with me.

“Doesn’t anyone think anything of it?”

I told myself, “That means my sensors are wrong.”

I was observing myself for a while.

But I guess that I’m angry

Under the Covid situation

What I have to do right now,

I try to sort it out once again.

Will you stay with me today?

The disaster of Covid into another phase

The announcement which I felt uncomfortable is
Under the Covid situation ,
The spread of the infection has not stopped currently.
With or without vaccination,
We’re asking for a visitor to wear a masks

and disinfecting hands. Thank you for your cooperation.
sounds like this.
And I noticed one part is
“With or without vaccination,”
I’ve decided not to take the vaccine this time

so it’s ok to ignore this announcement, but
“The only way we could get rid of the Covid is the vaccine.”
Many doctors, the government, and old media are driven to it.
High fevers, blood clots, abnormal swelling of the arms….

still there are tons of risks
even thoguh people like my parents

who got vaccinated as their last hope,
What the hell are they supposed to do?
People are going abroad for work

or famous people who took the initiative to vaccinate themselves

just because they believed that they could back their nomal life.

My question is “Corona Encephalitis” Spreads all over in Japan,

Do you really think that we could go back to our life like use to?”
I was starting to get worried.
And when I heard this announcement,
My anxiety turned into anger.
No, no, no, no. I don’t want to be like them!

Otherwise could get Covid encephalitis!

When I was upset,

saw Toranomon news on YouTube

and famous scientist Kunihiko Takeda was talking

about what’s happening now.

He described as “Japan’s Covid situation is now in phase 2.”
He has few doctor friends.

And they told him that the patient

who came for medical examination

because catching a cold has Covid and Antibody detected.
In other words,

a certain amount of people have Covid virus in their body.
Also more and more people have the antibodies already.
Instead of continuing to follow the clusters as we have been doing
“It’s a possibility that I have.” and
“Someone in the family has it.”
Mr.Takeda said that we have to think about these.

That day, That time, My body

The week before I heard that story,
I felt something strange in my body.
My boyfriend came to visit me on my day off.

We watched a movie together at home and had dinner.
We spent the time like usual

and he went back to his place, I went to work next day.
And two days later,
I felt a sharp pain behind my ear.
I don’t have a headache so it’s possible
that pain is either swollen tonsils or
the first sign of a cold with fever.
Shoot… I got Covid…
Covid really…?
I usually write my blog at night.
But stop even cooking dinner
and off to bed right now!
Take a bath right away to warm myself up.
I’ve been taking vitamin C and zinc supplements.
Put on my pajamas properly and quickly went to bed.
I felt better in next morning

however In the evening,

I had the same pain again but only a little.
「まだいやがる。。。」
Dang it, Still in me…
The second day, I barely ate at night.
I took vitamins and now Herbal medicine.
I went to bed earlier than yesterday.
On the third day,

my throat started to itch a little

and nose was just a little runny.
The pain behind my ear is gone.
I was careful not to my body temperature drop.

I took herbal medicine three times and took vitamins as well.
I only ate lunch and went to bed early again.
I went to bed at 9:30 pm all three nights.
I ate something only at lunch

that was as easy to digest as possible.
That’s why I didn’t get a fever.
I was able to get back to normal in just three days

without any problems at work.

But I swear, at that moment

I had something in my body

that was trying to do something bad to me, I can tell.

Now is the time to back to basics

There’s no way of knowing

which virus caused the changes in my body back then.

But even if that was a new COVID or an existing flu,

There are certain things

that I have to take care of and do on a regular basis.
We must to keep our autoimmune system strong.
This is because every living thing has its own natural healing power.
Of course, when you can’t handle it

there will be times when medical help is needed.
However, your own immune system can fight off

diseases and viruses to a certain extent.
Maintaining a healthy intestinal environment,

keep your body temperature over 36°C is the most important

and basic way to build immunity.
I am neither against nor for vaccines.
I honestly don’t care what others do

because I have no intention of injecting it myself.
No, not exactly.
“There’s a lot of people out there with a lot of ideas.

I guess that we let the individual have the choice”

This is what I want to say most.

But I do have a social life in Japan,
“The possibility that I have a covid”
If I can’t deny it at this point,
Even if I think I’m being ridiculous,
Put on a mask so I won’t splay to the other
Or I prefer not to go into crowds by myself.
I’m going to try to keep this in mind for a while.
But still What individuals can do on a daily basis

is to build up their bodies in their daily lives.
