The fifth wave of the epidemic is severe. There have been successive cases of children and elders who died after being infected with the epidemic in the community. In the past two weeks, nearly 10% of the patients were children aged 6 or below, which made parents even more worried about their children being accidentally recruited.
Coco, who is four months pregnant and now has a 1-year-old son, said that he felt unwell at the beginning of this month. He thought it was just a common cold. Later, when her husband’s family members were diagnosed, it was found that a family of three were infected with the virus. The son even had a high fever for two times. Today, they were very worried, "There's nothing wrong at the moment, I don't know if something will happen suddenly in the next moment."
She mentioned that a family has been quarantined at home for many days, and there is still no hand strap to provide. She believes that the arrangement of the authorities is chaotic. She pointed out that although she considered going to the designated clinic tomorrow for medical treatment, she believed that it was difficult to make an appointment for an anti-epidemic taxi, so she was discouraged.
Coco and his son received a rapid test kit from the government on the 11th of this month. After testing, they found that they were also recruited.

Currently four months pregnant, Coco, who has a 1-year-old son, started to have symptoms such as cough and sore throat at the beginning of this month. Because it was not serious at first, he did not pay much attention to it. However, his son and husband also began to have symptoms that night. , The son even had a high fever, and it was only after taking medicine that the fever subsided.
However, in the middle of the night the next day, my son suddenly developed a high fever again. "I had thought at the time that if I didn't quit, I would take him for emergency treatment, but after taking the medicine, I went back and saw how good his spirit and activity were."
A few days later, the husband's family informed the Coco family that they were diagnosed with the disease, so the husband went to the testing station for testing first, and was finally diagnosed on the 10th of this month. hit.
Coco recalled that when the government first learned that their relatives had been diagnosed with the virus, it notified them that they were close contacts and needed to be quarantined at home for 14 days. 14 days are enough for the battle, and we have to go back for a few days, plus the government has no hand to take us."
Home quarantined for days without hand strap
When it was confirmed that one family was diagnosed, the government once again informed them that they needed to be quarantined for 14 days, but this time they also did not provide hand straps. Mi can infect people."
Coco also mentioned that although the government often refers to children, pregnant women and the elderly as high-risk people, she once called the 24-hour hotline of the Home Anti-epidemic Program and said that there were children and pregnant women in the family who were diagnosed and how to deal with it. The staff replied, If you feel very unwell, you can call 999. He also described that there are currently a large number of confirmed cases, and arrangements for medical treatment should be arranged depending on the critical situation.
Coco admitted frankly that he understands the current high demand for hospital beds, but believes that the authorities can provide clearer home isolation guidelines, such as how to deal with high-risk individuals when they are recruited and how to relieve their illness so that they do not have to wait all the time.
Coco said that he took medicine to relieve his condition when his condition was at its worst, "Everyone knows that pregnant women can't take medicine, but my day is really hard and I have a low fever. I just take two pills to relieve the pain. I don't even care. I'm sure I can't eat enough, I'm afraid it will affect the BB who is in the stomach, but if I can't eat and I can't eat, it's all a blog."

Risky medication to relieve the condition: I am afraid that it will affect the BB in the stomach
Coco said that he took medicine when his condition was at its worst, "Everyone knows that pregnant women can't take medicine, but I'm really working hard every day, and I have a low fever. I just take two pills to relieve the pain. I don't even care. I'm sure I can't eat it, I'm afraid it will affect the BB who is in the stomach, but if I don't eat it, I can't eat it, it's all a blog."
A few days ago, the Hospital Authority had sent a call to inquire about the Coco family's situation. "My husband asked us how long we would wait. They said that if they are positive, they will be quarantined for 14 days before checking. If the result is negative, it means that there is nothing to do."
She was dissatisfied with this arrangement and described the whole diagnosis process as if she had been abandoned. "If it is negative, close the file? Is it really good? Will it affect the BB in the stomach, and will the children have any sequelae?"
Coco hopes that the government can arrange for people who have been diagnosed to undergo a medical examination to let them know how well their bodies are recovering.
Regarding the government’s arrangement recently that those with preliminary confirmed cases can go to designated clinics to seek medical treatment, she said that she had considered going to the designated clinics on her own, “But can I go there by bus, if I take the bus to the microphone, it would mean spreading poison around?” After the launch of the epidemic taxi, it is difficult to make an appointment, and the designated clinics are also crowded. Therefore, we temporarily decided to stay at home and watch everyone's physical condition.
