[Dutch Lock Down Day One Hundred Fifty Seven]
I have enough phlegm in the back of my throat to be annoying.
And a little cough.
And a slightly sore throat.
But first the news:
- Mask wearers are no more likely to flout social distancing, researchers say
- COVID LOCKDOWN PROMPTED DUTCH TO SAVE MORE THAN EVER
- Wearing a mask does not make you careless, Dutch experts reveal
And I’m tired.
But all that could be stress or heat or allergies or a mild summer cold.
I don’t have a temperature.
I have enough energy to hit ten thousand steps today.
I was otherwise better today than yesterday.
And way better than the day before.
But.
I worry.
The Dutch government encourages us to get tested when we have symptoms, but which ones? Doesn’t COVID react to the body’s systems in different ways producing all different symptoms? Do I schedule a test every time I sneeze? Every time I have a runny nose? Every time I cough? Because I get those symptoms almost every day.
I have two children in full time daycare. Getting sick is just normal.
But at these times when I have more than one symptom? I worry.
Who have I been around?
Where might’ve I got this?
Who did I expose it to?
I worry.
