A friend got it twice despite having his full vaccination and booster. The current variant is mild and most of people I knew from 1st hand recovered in about 4 to 5 days. No worries and a speedy recovery to you. JaYoe. Cheers.
I've had covid twice, both mild. It takes at least 10 days to test negative even if you feel all right. As long as you have a sore throat or throat problem, you're definitely covid positive. Panadol, cough medicine, sore throat medication and drinking lots of coconut water help. Hope you'll recover soon but please quarantine yourself from your family members.
Congratulations 🎉 you beat me. I got it back in April. It wasn’t bad for me. I hope it’s easy for you and you recover quickly! I was just drained at work and thought it was just from over working. I got home and after my shower I just wanted to lay down from exhaustion. Then I sneezed and thought I better test myself and yep, I was positive! My nose squeaked but that was it for weird noises. It was mostly cold symptoms for a few days. Buckley’s worked great!
Hi Matt. Hope you'll be recovered shortly. Just have a quick question: toward the end of your video, there's a round red shape on the white background looking like a Japanese flag. What's that?
Welcome to the covid club Matt. Take care. Try to take a lot of fluid and vitamin C. Have a speedy recovery. Wish you a Merry Xmas and Happy new year to you and family in advance.
Hope you are correct about the nuthingburger. However, I read a piece recently about like 40% of infected, still to this day have symptoms of "long covid"...
@@Imazdadrags I personally know 3 people infected...one dead, one went to ICU for 2 nights, one had very mild symptoms. They are age 60's, 40's and 50's. The first two were healthy esp the 42, but not vaccinated, and not recent. The last was recent in Nov, and vaccinated with 2 boosters! Those are the three accounts I personally know pretty well smh
@@rualablhor It should be a set pattern by now that the west lead and China follow.

Hi Matt :) can’t remember if I said this but when your trike was lost in Dublin, I was an hour away in Monaghan but quarantining after getting COVID from the flight from New York. Great way to start a vacation…. Happy it was mild.
I've still haven't had it nor has my wife, which is a big surprise as we both work at the local hospital. We've followed the guidelines for the last two years and so far managed to avoid catching it.
Good luck and fast recovery Matt. ICU beds: 10 for 100k. 80k+ ICU doctors. With 100k+ in reserve. 220k ICU Nurses. 177k in reserve. Thats a sharp increase from 3,6 ICU beds in year 2015. The protect may have just sped up things. The government was probably preparing for a loosening of regulations. Lets just hope China can get throught it will as few deaths as possible. Especially the elderly.
I was diagnosed with COVID yesterday. But I have COVID two days ago when it started now it has take a toll on my life of going outside. I’m stuck in my room. I never got COVID in my life before. I was able to avoid it 4 years.
Lockdowns actually prolonged this when you think about what we always do when we're sick. Isolating was the only sensible action to take within the locksowns. What's more it had a devastating impact on the working middle class.
My mother-in-law got COVID 5 days ago. Pneumonia was developed. She is 80+ old and have 3 jabs of vaccines. Her condition is still classified as serious. HKG government provided her COVID medicine on the first day which works well. She is recovering. Hence, I agree with China Government to loosen the controls now instead of last year. The Chinese version of that COVID medicine is close to be launched publicly
China was going to open March 2023, but worried elders families won’t accept it, after rioters came out paid by cia , central government was like : ok , that’s it
I wouldn't say the last year was a 'black mark' on China's response to covid. They didn't lose out on much with zero-covid, even if some people were stuck at home for several months. The bigger concern is what China has done/ is doing to improve their medical infrastructure and vaccination rate and efficacy. I'm not sure if they're ready, even though they had the extra year to prepare.
Hope you’ll get over the Covid 19 shortly. I had it in May, but I got it over in day 7. Covid 19 isn’t as the same as the 1st or 2nd variant. In Australia, we don’t have any mandatory regulations any more like wearing masks but we need to isolate ourselves for 5 days. For sure, it’s not flu as it nearly killed me in day 1 and day 2.
Yea. If that’s true it’s a huge indictment of the govt there. I mean…. If you can build a hospital in a week but not prepare the country in three years…. You did not prepare properly.
@3:51 - No vaccine mandates in China ( rightly so). The current covid strain is much milder. If China gets 500,000 covid deaths because of relax covid policies, ~4.5 million covid/excess deaths were avoided still. 2021 life expectancy for non-Hispanic white in the US is 76.4 years ( 78.2 years for China ). Life expectancy in China actually increased from 2020 to 2021.
You're going to be OK. My husband I got it in early October, 2022. We were exposed 5 times in 2 1/2 years it finally caught us. But we came out Ok. We took Paxlovid. My Hubby had it worse than myself.
The value of the vaccines is to lessen the severity of symptoms, that’s it. I’m also going through covid now & the first couple of days were the ones with symptoms.
I didn’t have any congestion like that with Covid. It was more like a flu for me. (Long lasting though) HA!!! ..and I didn’t get it until America also ! lol❤
From people I know in china it seems they haven't really changed things, they only allow 15% staff in offices and they still need greed health code. They have removed loads of testing booths meaning it now take hours to get tested thus putting off going out still.. Maybe they have just been clever with the relaxing? You've lived in China as have I so maybe you have heard better stories then me 👍
Get well soon! Two minutes into your video, I ran for a mask as soon as I heard your raspy COVID voice into the microphone! 😂😂😂 Don’t do long prolonged fasts too often. You might end up losing muscle mass! Have you heard of intermittent fasting (I.F.)? Try doing perhaps a daily 16:8 fast. High protein, low carb, low sugar.
@@JaYoeNation ok it really interesting because everyone responded very differently ! I have been very blessed to never get Covid because I don’t be exposed by lots of people daily and I try to keep a distance away from others
Some years ago, we Hong Kong people all needed to turn-in our finger prints in order to get access to China. I believe it's for the police use. It's not necessarily a criminal record. I remember I also need to do the same when entering Taiwan.
Ha! Been laid up with it myself tonight. Does that make us Covid buddies? I'd take the opportunity to do some ASMR for people who like the sound of a death rattle - got to be an audience for it somewhere!
It's hard to say States got the right policy nor China. Each country assessed risks differently. But, I believed China was too cautious. I thought by Spring 2022, she would loosen up but didn't. It took some protests to let the government know it's about time to have a normal life again. It's better late than never. Hopefully, China will open up 2024 (really doubt 2023).
aint no bigdeal got covid after a booster shot just like having mild symptom of cold just do more exercise & eat more...hang in there in a few days you'll be alright!
There are more deaths in Taiwan and HK than in all of mainland China. The difference is Western propaganda, and Western vaccines, which is why you got Taiwanese traveling to the mainland for their vaccine shots (Not mRNA type )
They developed one, and do have mRNA vax in China, stop reading MSM. China shouldn't have to buy western vax, I wanted a traditional vax and the US didn't provide that until much later, Sept/Oct to be exact. My family took the Moderna and got infected twice already...

The problem was also that variants before Omicron were more dangerous. So softening of measures are only possible since this year I guess...
