"It's unrelated to the new corona, and it's probably asymptomatic," said
a 26-year-old man living in Fukuoka.
However, the infection was confirmed in May, and I had a life-threatening experience with the sudden exacerbation of symptoms.
It
's a warning from men to the same younger generation who are
"slow after being infected"
.
I was wondering if I could get better if I slept ...
The man graduated from university four years ago and is an office worker in Fukuoka City.
I didn't go to drinking parties or play, and I went back and forth between work and home, and I thought that if I wash my hands and gargle properly, I wouldn't get infected.
It was May 1st that such a man felt something wrong with his body.
Symptoms began with fever.
I had a fever of about 37 degrees, but soon the fever went down.
I didn't suspect that I could
get rid of it if I slept
, and I thought it was a cold.
However, the next day, when I ate a lunch box at a convenience store, I didn't feel the taste.
Taking over-the-counter cold remedies did not reduce my fever.
"Does it continue to be so hot?" "Tough" "Egui"
"No way I am ..."
A man who lived alone and had no one to rely on contacted a friend who had experienced an infection.
<< Exchange
of messages with friends >>
(Male) "37.5 (℃)" "Does this continue to be hot?"
(Friend) "I will continue"
(Male) "
Tough
"
(Friend) "When I quit the company." "Fever Ups and downs are intense? "
(Male)" Egui "
I was convinced that I was infected because my symptoms were similar to my friend.
Even so, I was watching the situation at home, saying, "Let's call an ambulance when the temperature exceeds 40 degrees."
"Maybe I die without being noticed by anyone"
However, on the third day after the fever, the symptoms suddenly worsened.
I got a fever of nearly 40 degrees, and my cough didn't stop and I couldn't stand up.
I made a 119 call in the consciousness of trying.
26-year-old
man "I was confident in my physical strength, but it was really tight and I felt the danger of my life. If I didn't call an ambulance, I would die alone without anyone noticing. I thought. "
Symptoms of pneumonia progress, oxygen inhalation measures
The man was admitted immediately because he had a PCR test at the hospital he was transferred to and was confirmed to be positive and had advanced symptoms of pneumonia.
Even after being hospitalized, the fever did not go down, the coughing continued, and oxygen inhalation measures were taken.
I couldn't sleep for 2 days after admission, but after 10 days, my symptoms almost disappeared and I was discharged after a negative test.
However, the route of infection is unknown from the survey conducted by the public health center, and I am still worried that the infection may occur again.
To the younger generation, "Be patient together to save lives"
"It has nothing to do with the new corona, and it wouldn't be a big deal if it was infected,"
recalls the man.
When I saw the news about young people drinking alcohol on the streets and in the park, I thought that I couldn't understand my feelings.
But now, based on my own experience, I warn the same younger generation.
A 26-year-old
man, "I've had a lot of fun when I was a student. For the past year or two, I couldn't do it even if I wanted to get together with my friends, and my school life was online, so it would be boring. But now that I'm infected and I feel the danger of my life, I can't say that, and it's too late since I got infected. To save my life, I want everyone to put up with it now. "
