The omicron virus variant is expected to infect a large proportion of the population over the next few weeks.
Paul Bokowski tells what helped him during his corona disease.
As a highly contagious virus variant, omicron will spread massively within the next few weeks, according to a warning from the World Health Organization (WHO). As the Tagesschau further informs, the WHO even assumes that more than 50 percent of the population in Europe could become infected with omicron in the next six to eight weeks. Against this background, it is important to pay more attention to infection protection measures such as the obligation to wear masks.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, however, the most important protective measure is the corona vaccination
. Doctors worldwide confirm this and appeal for corona immunization. This includes Prof. Franz-Xaver Reichl as the representative for the biological safety of bacteria and viruses at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. In an interview with the Ippen-Zentraledaktion he explains*: "The optimal protection against Omikron only occurs after the third vaccination. (...) That's why it's now very, very important to boost as soon as possible".
The booster vaccination is no guarantee that you cannot become infected.
However, the risk of a severe course of the disease decreases significantly, as the Federal Ministry of Health informs.
It is assumed that most vaccinated corona patients will develop cold symptoms at most.
But for the period of illness they have to look after their own four walls as part of the quarantine.
The same happened to the German author and poetry slammer Paul Bokowski.
On his Twitter account, he now gives advice on how to prepare well for the upcoming corona infection.

"Prepare to get omicron": Bokowski gives tips for quarantine
In his tweets, the writer Bokowski gives suggestions as to which utensils he thinks everyone should have at home now: “Prepare for the fact that you will get Omicron.
Stock up on your favorite foods, your favorite drinks, get yourself some good-mood snacks and nourishment for your nerves.
(...) Pick out a few series and films that you have wanted to watch for a long time and a small stack of good books from the shelf.
Check if you have enough painkillers in the house, cough suppressants*, expectorant, if the tea shelf is as well stocked as your speed box. And above all prepare yourselves MENTALLY for the fact that this infinitely large, tolerable topic, which has dominated us all for the last two years, will now hit you on a very personal and immediate level. Corona is also a complex, mental mindfuck and an incredible amount of pent-up pressure could be released from you, many different emotions," says Bokowski.
Against this background, according to him, one should already think about which contact persons are the right ones and which friends/family members it is better not to tell about the corona infection because their panic and worry would unnecessarily burden one.
In addition, Bokowski appeals to the reason of the readers: “
Start now to put everything in a meaningful relation.
Make it clear that you have been vaccinated and probably already boosted, and that the probability of a mild course is really very high
.
Everything will be fine.
Really now".
