新加坡

From today onwards, it is no longer mandatory to wear masks outdoors.

从即日起，户外戴口罩不再强制。

But there are still many people wearing masks.

但仍有很多人戴着口罩。

In fact, Singaporeans are not used to wearing masks, but why do so many people still wear them when they can stop wearing?

其实新加坡人不习惯戴口罩，但为什么现在能不戴了却还是有那么多人戴呢？

This probably has something to do with the personality of Singaporeans.

这大概跟新加坡人的性格有关。

As we all know, Singaporeans are ridiculed as a nation that is afraid of losing and dying.

众所周知，新加坡人被调侃为怕输及怕死的民族。

I admit that I am a typical Singaporean.

我承认是这个典型的新加坡人。

To put it in a nice way, I still wear masks outdoor is to protect others.

说得好听点，我在户外还戴口罩是为了保护别人。

And to put it in a blunt way, I am afraid of death. 

讲直白点就是我怕死啦。

Sequelae 后遗症

I get tired easily after recovering from COVID-19.

On Thursday night, I suddenly felt dizzy, unsteady and nearly fell while walking.

That very night, I was awakened by a sharp pain in my left forehead.

The next morning, went polyclinic for consultation.

I told the doctor about my recent health condition, including my hard stools or diarrhea and indigestion.

Mainly worried about getting stroke.

The doctor said that it is not a sign of stroke, so I can be rest assured.

According to doctor, all these could be the sequelae of COVID-19.

For the next six months, I do not need to do any Antigen Rapid Test.

It is still possible that ex-patients of COVID-19 to get it again.

How does one know if one is infected again?

When a person has all the symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, soar throat, cough, and runny nose, then most likely one is infected again.

Doctor has to draw blood to confirm.

从冠病康复后，我很容易感到疲惫。

星期四晚上，突然感到头晕目眩、走路不稳，差点摔倒。

就在当天晚上，我被左额头的剧痛惊醒。

隔天早上，就去综合诊疗所求诊。

我告诉医生我最近的健康状况，包括粪便不是太硬就是腹泻还有消化不良等。

主要还是怕中风。

医生说不是中风先兆，可以安心。

据医生的说法所有这些都有可能是冠病的后遗症。

接下来的六个月里，我不需要再做抗原快速检测。

冠病的前患者仍有可能再次感染。

怎么知道自己再次感染呢？

当一个人出现所有冠病症状时，例如发烧、喉咙痛、咳嗽、流鼻涕，那么很可能已经再次感染了。

医生必须抽血确认。

According to the experts, the chances of someone who had the Omicron getting reinfected with the disease are quite slim at present.

根据专家所说，奥密克戎染疫者目前再染疫的概率低。

Having said that, everyone should take precautionary measures, wear a mask, and maintain a distance of at least one meter.

话虽如此，大家还是应该做好防疫措施，把口罩戴好，保持至少一米的距离。

After these few days of self-isolation, I learned that health is more important than anything else!

经过这些天的自我隔离，领悟到了健康比什么都重要！
