10 days back my grandmother tested positive for Covid. Then, a few days later, my mother tested positive, followed by my uncle. They showed mild symptoms and were duly put under medication. It was very scary and I was worried.
Everyday news was filled with one horror story after another. Oxygen crisis in one place, medicine unavailability in another. I’ve known a lot of my own friends and acquaintances lose their loved ones to the disease. So, my fear was palpable. Anxiety was at the extreme. I was worrying about even slight variations in the vitals of not one but three family members.
