Symptoms that Could Indicate You’ve Already Had COVID-19

by

Is it possible to have had COVID-19 without even knowing it? Well, the answer to this one is yes! According to front-line doctors, many people tested positive for antibodies against Coronavirus, but had no idea when they’ve had it. In fact, almost 30% of COVID-19 patients during the first wave were asymptomatic. However, recent stats have showed that although these people didn’t get any symptoms when they had the virus, they almost all developed post-COVID-19 symptoms later on. What are these symptoms? And how can you know if you’ve already had the virus without testing? Find out below.

Bad Winter ‘cold’

Although it’s very likely to get a normal winter cold, there also high chances of this cold being a post-COVID complication. In addition, if normal antibiotics don’t do much effect, it could be because of the virus. However, people who suffer from any type of allergies can develop a bad cold with no relation to COVID-19.

Persistent Shortness of Breath

Yes, one of the main COVID-19 symptoms is related with chest pain and shortness of breath. As oppose to other viruses, SARS is particularly one that hits the respiratory system. Moreover, this was a crucial reason for the high mortality rates of Coronavirus. So, if you feel persistent shortness of breath accompanying any physical activity, without other symptoms, then you may have already survived the virus.

Red Eyes And Non-Ending Fatigue

All safety regulations advised against touching your face for a reason. Your eyes are the quickest gate of the virus into your body. For that reason, COVID-19 proved to have a significant impact on eyes, leaving them red and watery even after the virus leaves your body.

In addition, if the eyes are accompanied with extreme fatigue, then you’ve already had the virus for sure. That being said, non-ending fatigue can also be due to other factors, such as stress, vitamins and magnesium deficiency and even depression.

However, the only way to be sure is to get medical opinion. The antibodies test is quick and painless. Not only that it shows if you’ve had COVID-19 before, but it will also help you know if you are immune or still at risk of contagion.

Weird New Year’s Traditions From Around The World

by

New Year’s is always a symbol for festivities and celebrations. Besides saying goodbye to a year of your life, you are also welcoming a new one. Throughout history, several traditions actually emerged from these celebrations. Some were born in wars, others from religious beliefs. Either way, some of these traditions are so weird that they became viral. As we get ready to countdown for the end of this year, here is a countdown of the weird New Year’s traditions from different cultures.

Hungary

In Eastern Europe, several countries have a belief system based on previous spiritual events. Hungary for example, calls their New Year ”Silvester.” Actually, some of theirNew Year’s traditions ”include making a lot of noise to scare off demons and evil spirits.” In fact, doing laundry or sewing on New Year’s Eve is considered an offense to the spirits. Moreover, in other parts of the country, many believe that if your first visitor of the year is a male, then you’ll have a lucky year ahead. Also, washing your face in cold water with a red apple supposedly increases your chances of staying healthy.

Germany

Not much different from Hungary. The Germans are also known to have some weird New Year’s traditions. Although in Germany they welcome the New Year with Champagne and food (like the rest of us,) they also have some weird customs. In fact, since the 70’s, it has become a tradition to watch TV recording of an English movie filmed in Germany called Dinner for One. However, this us not the weirdest part. According to reports, German customs include ”dropping molten lead into cold water; the shape of the lead resulting in a prediction of the future. Also, a portion of the food eaten on New Year’s Eve is left on plates until after midnight to ensure plentiful food in the coming year.”

China

We all know that China have their own calendar, thus, their own New Year’s date. However, some of their traditions during the entire New Year’s week, (yes, it’s a whole week) are super strange. For example, in China, it’s forbidden to mention anything related to ”sickness” or ”death” on New Year’s Eve. In fact, both January 1st and the New Chinese Year are included. Additionally, they must do a thorough cleaning of the house to sweep out any bad luck from the old year, and then perform a lion dance to bring good luck.

Spain

Finally, Spanish New Year’s traditions are not out of the ordinary. However, they are weird because no one can explain the myth or early traditions that it came from. All Spanish people celebrate the night with their families, but only until midnight. After that, the tradition is to enjoy a night out with friends. The last 12 seconds before midnight, Spanish people bring out 12 grapes, and try to eat all of them before the clock hits midnight. It is very commonly believed that each grape represents a month, and if you can eat all of them, then you are to have great luck that year.
