My staff are all sick with mild coughs/sore throats/sniffles and feverish. When they present at the local doctor demanding antibiotics (as they do for any and all sicknesses here) strangely the doc is refusing them. Now paint me cynical but I'm guessing the doc sees that they all have Omicron (virus) and knows that antibiotics will help nothing. He's even told them they have to wait 3 or 4 days before getting them - I'm guessing to help with any secondary infections.
The missus and I are isolating and drinking lots of alcohol to disinfect.
My wife and I, both fully vaccinated with Astra Zeneca with the second dose six months ago, have just emerged from a week of sniffling, nasal congestion, occasional dry cough and, in my case only, sweats and headaches in the night.
Of course we rationalised that all of these symptoms could be a common cold or influenza and waited to see if more serious symptoms - such as death - developed but it seems to have passed now.
We hadn’t left the house for several days before we noticed the first sniffles, and then only to the supermarket in Sanur, but we always wear N95 masks and carry/use hand sanitiser plus we take sanitising tissues to wipe down the supermarket trolley handles etc. but perhaps Omicron can enter through the eyes o_O
I would have gotten tested out of curiosity even though our symptoms were mild but I’m afraid that the current policy of putting all positive case into an isolation hospital doesn’t inspire me with confidence so I also opted for home treatment by Dr Plaga and nurse Anker - it worked well :)
