Talking to a Coronavirus patient tested positive
A few hours ago at about 12:30 am, Sunday, I chatted with a friend in Hong Kong, or to be precise from a Hong Kong hospital.
I have been wondering what happens to the those people tested positive, and what treatment they receive at the hospital.
This is the first time I talked with someone who has been tested positive with coronavirus, and admitted to the hospital for treatment. My friend was able to receive my WeChat call from his room.
One of his work colleagues returned from Turkey, who did not know he was infected with the virus. He was later tested positive, resulting in a lockdown of the department.
My friend did not develop any symptom, but just to be sure, he went for chest X-Ray. (In Melbourne, I just simply request for an X-Ray with a dictor referral). There was nothing unusual with the lungs, and so he left. Somehow, he was not convinced that he was alright, and went for another X-ray of his chest again. It was just a day apart, and the X-ray images of his lungs revealed some dark spots.
Unlike his colleague who develop fluctuating temperature and lost of taste, my friend did not. After receiving a Covid-19 test, it was confirmed positive. He was admitted to hospital immediately, and isolated from the family.
He was on drip, and according to him, he received injection that treat Ebola, a coronavirus which resembles that of Covid-19.
Throughout his stay, he did not feel like being sick. In fact he sounded cheerful, and was so pleased to hear from me via WeChat.
