The Most Miserable Were the First 3-4 Days: Armenian Doctor Living in Germany Infected with Coronavirus

An Armenian doctor and hematologist-oncologist living in Germany, Taron Saribekyan, has also contracted the coronavirus and made a post on his Facebook page regarding the experience.

"First, I kindly ask you not to put crying emojis. Yes, dear friends, I am that acquaintance of yours who is COVID-19 positive and has experienced almost all possible symptoms. The purpose of sharing this photo with you is solely one: wake up, do not underestimate this disease and do not overestimate your body’s capabilities. Yes, the disease can be asymptomatic, but that has absolutely nothing to do with your youth; you can also experience it severely. I will definitely say one thing: if I had pre-existing conditions, I would probably be deprived of the ability to share with you now. Remember that at home, you have grandparents, moms, and dads; keep this in mind and follow all the guidelines given to you.

To all my friends who are worried about me, I want to inform you that I am already incomparably better, still not fully recovered, but on the path to improvement. The most miserable were the first 3-4 days (fever, chills, cough, feeling of bodily pain, sleep disturbances, loss of taste, diarrhea); then the symptoms began to gradually regress. I will share the rest later. Stay healthy," he wrote.
