After the fever, I had a sore throat and stuffy nose. These were the symptoms described by people, during the recent Omicron wave, as a knife in the throat and a nose stuffed with cement. I think the disease runs an inevitable course and I am now on the mend. The bad news is that my daughter also has a fever. She is now staying with my parents, who have just recovered from Covid. However, there is a hope ahead. I read in the news that there are more people and more vehicles coming out onto the streets, and many recovered young people are eating out and booking flights and hotels for their upcoming vacations. Personally, I don’t like crowded places and traffic congestion, but this time, when I saw the pictures of busy streets coming back again, I almost burst into tears. My city is coming to life again.
