Due to the
state of hysteria sweeping the world in the fight against the coronavirus
(COVID-19), it spread eerily, leaving behind a large number of victims and a
large number of infected people. For me, everything has changed since Kenya
announced a positive coronavirus case.
I was
thinking and preparing to go to Nairobi from Mombasa a while ago, so the night
before the case was announced, I decided to finally book an Airbnb apartment
and my flight.
You can
tell how unlucky I was, the next day in the morning I thought what to pack and
check if it’s cold in Nairobi. When I finished, I opened Twitter as usual, and
there it was, our first case was unfortunately announced, now you might be
wondering why all the fuzz and the panicking, and it’s just one case, yet.
It is
because owing to the fact that I have an underlying condition, I’m HIV positive
and I didn’t want to get myself into this kind of risk. I ask everyone else
with underlying conditions to take extra precautions, avoid exposing yourself
to intensive media coverage about the virus, seek help if needed, and follow
the official instructions and resources.
So the same
day I cancelled everything, I quarantined myself, and limited leaving home for
supermarkets, I have become more eager to eat fruits, and I try as much as
possible to make healthy eating.
The rest of
my quarantining day is mostly watching TV shows, sleeping, and a lot of eating.
I hope
everyone out there is safe, make sure to protect yourself because that will
lead to people you love to be safe as well.
