00:00 Runny nose, it is it is a really mild symptom.
00:02 For me that runny nose it was absolutely the first thing that happened
00:05 It wouldn't have been any more than 12 hours later i was on the couch with those really strong flu-like symptoms.
00:11 The body aches, the chills, the fever.
00:14 My lungs were struggling to keep up as well and i ended up just collapsing to the floor
00:18 It's quite intense to feel the virus attacking your body so ferociously that even the most basic of things seem impossible.
00:24 Going to hospital, obviously being COVID positive, it means that i have to go there by myself.
00:28 It means that all those normal support networks that you'd have, they're gone.
00:33 Being admitted to the COVID ward, it's quite scary.
00:36 Just hearing people coughing, the people gasping for air.
00:40 For me at that point was just terrifying because i knew that that was probably what was ahead.
00:46 If you need the motivation to do the right thing, if you're still resisting all of this, think of those people that you care about most in this world and them not being able to breathe.
