A thermometer read 38.2C when I measured my body temperature.
I had a fever, my body was aching, and I started to cough. I went to see a doctor for a Covid-19 test but instead, I got antibiotics and fever relief medicines. Soon, my nose started to lose the sense of smell and I felt tired easily, even when walking slowly.
I had Covid-19. The virus hit me five days before my first vaccine. Here is my story.
At the age of 76, I am a healthy elderly without any health issues. I regularly walk and do arm swing exercises. Every day, I wake up before dawn to offer alms to monks and open my shophouse selling snacks and daily use products like typical mom-and-pop stores in the quiet suburban areas of southern Bangkok.
