Howie, survivor sa COVID-19

Banat

CEBU, Philippines — Human sa siyam ka adlaw nga confinement , nakagawas na sa tambalanan ang GMA news personality nga si Howie Severino.

Dako matud pa ang iyang pasalamat sa tanang frontliners.  Gikatahong si Howie  ang “patient 2828” sa COVID- 19. Pinaagi sa iyang artikulo sa GMA News Online, gisaysay ni Howie ang iyang kaagi samtang gisagobang niya ang COVID-19.

 “After nine days in the hospital, a bout of pneumonia and a major scare, I think I can now be called a COVID-19 survivor," suma pa ni Howie.

Suma pa sa maong news personality  nga usa gyud siya sa suwerting tawo nga nahatagan og kahigayonan sa subling paghupot sa iyang kinabuhi.

“It’s a tale of long painful needles that couldn’t find a vein in my hands, the swabs down my throat that made me gag, the torture of long sleep deprivation, and the team of doctors who formed a Viber group to discuss updates on my case and the experimental drug chloroquine that worked on patients elsewhere and eventually worked on me,” saysay pa niya.

Aminado si Howie nga duna gihapo’y mga tawo nga naigo og COVID-19 ang naka-feel og   diskriminasyon.

Gani duna siya’y nakauban nga pasyente nga naayo na sa maong sakit ang wala makauli sa iyang condo unit gumikan kay dili mosugot ang  mga silingan niini.  Nagmalaumon si Howie nga mominos na unta  ang kahadlok sa tawo nga naka-recover sa  COVID-19  nga susama kaniya.

"Transparency is an obligation.While there are good reasons to keep this condition under wraps — there are even privacy laws that can justify it — it's not fair to anyone who has had close contact with you. For the greater good, we are required to disclose our COVID-19 status to the Department of Health,” suma pa niya.

Mapasalamaton si Howie sa iyang mga silingan alang sa maayong pagtratar kaniya.

"This is more than a notification of work colleagues. One of my more critical decisions was informing my close neighbors.

They reacted with compassion and appreciation for the information, but I’m not sure how they would have reacted if they found out later or through the barangay,” nagkanayon ang beteranong news personality.

Usa sa naghatag kaniya og igong kusog mao ang iyang mga minahal sa kinabuhi ug soud nga mga higala.

"When reaching out to COVID-19 patients, do so with more than get-well messages. Share family news, your playlists, jokes and memes, anything that can offer a respite from the constant reminders of our condition.We do not need more pity,” niya pa.

Matud pa ni Howie nga dili “death sentence” ang COVID-19 ug siya ang usa sa mga ehemplo nga duna gyu’y dakong  tsansa nga maayo kun makasinati sa maong sakit.
