Mikhail Vinogradov: "How I was developing antibodies"

The President of the St. Petersburg Politics Foundation shares on Facebook personal experience after a mild Covid-19, noting that compliance with precautions allowed to "drive Hestapo's nose" only until mid-November.

"How I was developing antibodies in a light - but by no means asymptomatic - form. Summary. Duration - 10 days, including the crisis phase - the first five. I did not do the results of the tests, but everything is clear. Antibodies - I look forward to the results of the analysis, but there are no special doubts. Signs - almost all yes (temperature around 37.3, cwakes are closer to the end and only moderately, smell. It was dull, the saturation is at a safe level).

Now in more detail.

The detection of coronavirus has become an unpleasant surprise. I did not feel like a risk group - a compromise age, the lack of chronic diseases, and you are probably slandering excess weight. But this did not prevent me from spending the 2020th year in the semi-tunker, minimizing contacts with people in closed rooms. Therefore, according to all calculations, the virus was supposed to hook me not in the first or second. But Gestapo managed to drive the nose only until mid -November.

What metaphor can be chosen to illustrate the thesis "it does not look like anything"? Let's take this way: after the sixth glass of champagne, you admit to yourself that it was this sixth that was perhaps superfluous. And this feeling is not up to you or not up to breakfast, but without a break for five days.

Among the other minuses of "light shape":

A). Apathy (sometimes mention "depression" - but this is too much, maybe only girls). You can cope with apathy - but you feel necessary to protect yourself from any intellectual load. One day in the history of the browser, I found only 20 sites visited - the day was clearly passing somewhere by. But you can fill the day with actions that do not require the use of intelligence - write in Fabsuk and Telegram, perform on the radio, lay out photos of past years on a computer folders, I even came up with a thought of watching 30 seconds of the first series of all series, putting it in the "chosen" those that have been hooked.

B). Blurry of the "image of the future." The temperature does not crawl above 37.3, but does not really drop. You google about the light forms of Covid, in Deromovsky you find everything or almost all the symptoms - but most of the descriptions of Covid on the Internet boil down to how light forms grow into severe or at best into hidden defects. And although you firmly believe that this is not about you, you listen to your body without stopping and just in case you model your actions "in case of which." As I overcome the crisis, I began to walk around the apartment: suddenly there is no shortage only because I do not get up anywhere, but how I start to walk - it will fall. But no, I didn’t come. I ask you to note that this is without special paranoia on my part (although this does not follow from my description) - just with the elements of an attempt to be responsible and realistic.

IN). Anxiety. Suddenly, I underestimate the situation and it is time to become an object, and not the subject of social monitoring? Suddenly, a big brother is more responsible to me and only it seems that he is not interested (and cannot do it) the treatment of infected in a mild form. Nevertheless, I decided without a big brother - at least to the real deterioration of the situation that did not come. Otherwise, he behaved responsibly, laying onto the bottom, just in case, having purchased anonymous tests for the virus and antibodies - but without daring to use them (there was no vibrations as a diagnosis - everything looked quite obvious, and then he passed it when examining the doctor after the crisis is completed).

G). Dream. The dream itself passes in the proper volumes - and if relatives take care of you, then longer than usual. But longer than usual - it can be 7 hours instead of 6. But to sleep 10-12 hours and wake up healthy does not shine. On the contrary, awakening is one of the points of the most painful sensations and discomfort, sometimes after it you go to pour out in a hot bath for half an hour - although you are not behaving like that in ordinary life. Plus, the dream itself passes in a state of half -changed consciousness. It makes no sense to retell everything that you feel in a dream is the explosive mixture of the most severe realism and hellish absurd. For example, you can make (almost in Excel) a list of all households in two categories - which should be in the "clean" zone (that is, you are not entitled to use them) and all the others. Trying to be forgotten by alcohol, too, there is no reason or desire.

D). About smells and tastes, everything is not so deplorable. The smells were rather dulled. That is, when a jar of coffee was brought to you with closed eyes, you determined the smell. Just at the tenth second, not the first. As for food, everything is simple here. You do not feel hunger or aversion to food - just slight indifference. Therefore, you try to eat regularly (especially since the taste is dulled, but not lost). And, if you find the strength to recall the physical sensations of the absorption of food in ordinary life, then everything is about as usual.

E). Unpleasant (but not critical) all these pains (I am weakly distinguished, where there are bones, where the joints - well, let the joints be). The virus periodically knocks on one or another point of your body. Not particularly persistent, but suddenly. The expectation of a steam in an unpredictable place of joy from life does not add. Although, fortunately, if you say “dump” virus to these attacks, he generally falls off and does not insist on anything. Well, or you read a fairy tale in the evening and you have a voice disappearing - and your refusal to attempt to tear to read at least a couple of lines immediately drops your rating in their eyes.

AND). If you think about it, I can’t say what exactly I did not like all this so much and what is not a typical SARS. Probably a sense of obsession ("sixth glass"), which settles in your head. Covid -dissidents will say that we ourselves are zombie ourselves with a TV and the Internet - but let them God not repeat this.

I understand that this nonsense story of mine sounds blasphemous against the background of those who pass the disease in serious condition or even leaves us. But it should be borne in mind that the “light” form is at least crossed out of life for 5-7 days. And after their expiration, you continue to brake yourself.

What is the results?

1). The joy of the fact that everything (as it seems) is behind and none of those around him seemed to seriously seriously hook.

2). The desire to give yourself several days to return to life. Do not climb the stairs, do not play football, do not make long walks. And then suddenly "the one who lives in a pond", only this is waiting.

3). Relief regarding the fact that you can again not shy away from people. True, they say that the “outlook” continues to demand a mask regime - simultaneously meaningless for the ill, but required to calm the rest. Although anyone who tried to wear a mask and glasses at the same time understands that this is almost unrealistic. Therefore, I will not run out into the street for social reunion with others, but there is no longer any need to shy away from them. I will simply not notice them as before.

4). Detection of a feeling of elbow with those who write to you "Welcome to the Club." It turns out that such an experience had more than others than it seems to us. And any of them is ready to help you with advice and deed. And not just loads you without a request by a story, how everything proceeded with him, neighbors, relatives, neighbors of relatives and acquaintances. And your own willingness to respond, which you now suggest in yourself, also helps to feel good. And this is not so little and allows you to at least slightly compensate for the moral damage caused to yourself.

5). I read today that in the market of New Year's Christmas trees, Santa Claus with antibodies cost twice as much. It will be necessary to quench the market-for sure in other sectors something similar is also, it is time to revenge a decline in business activity-2020. "
