2022-29: catch a cold during the epidemic

Original link: https://xuanwo.io/reports/2022-29/

In this magical age, the consequences of a cold and a fever are very serious.

Maybe it was driving around without drying it after swimming, maybe it was because the air conditioner was blowing madly after going home, and my girlfriend had a fever. Considering that we have been doing nucleic acid tests recently, there are no known positive cases, and we don’t go out much, we know very well that this is just a normal fever. At first, I didn’t take it as a very serious thing, and took the antipyretic medicine at home. But things didn’t get better: the girlfriend started coughing like crazy, and her temperature kept rising. It was already one or two o’clock in the middle of the night, and I thought about going to the hospital until the daytime, so I just took some physical cooling measures at home, and then took a few tablets of broad-spectrum antibiotics. At three or four o’clock, my girlfriend pushed me to wake up, saying that I felt very bad, and the self-measured body temperature was already 39 degrees. With our simple medical knowledge: body temperature over 38.5 degrees is already very dangerous and requires immediate antipyretic treatment. So we quickly put on ice packs, and then took a taxi to the hospital for a late-night emergency room.

After walking around the empty hospital for half a day, the nurse in the emergency department told us that patients with fever symptoms need to go to a special fever clinic, and the fever clinic is in a special corner. I was forced to go back and forth to the emergency room twice before asking the exact Location. We didn’t know until the fever clinic that it was completely isolated: the patient needed to do the nucleic acid test immediately after entering, and could not leave until the nucleic acid result came out. During this period, the patient could only sit in the fever clinic. The nurse at the reception said that they need to wait inside for about four to six hours, and family members are not allowed to enter. It was too hasty, and we were completely unprepared for a long-term battle. My girlfriend’s symptoms have improved, so we decided to wait until dawn, so we won’t be working in it tonight.

Not long after we got home, my girlfriend’s condition deteriorated again, and it was too uncomfortable to wait until dawn. We quickly packed up dry food, water, power bank and other items, and took another taxi to the fever clinic. After signing a lot of materials, the girlfriend went in with a medical mask and began to isolate. Do nucleic acid, draw blood, wait for the result, the doctor sees the doctor, and the final diagnosis is a viral upper respiratory tract infection. The treatment method given is physical cooling below 38.5 degrees, and fever-reducing medicine above 38.5 degrees, and the medicine is taken at home with us Exactly the same, except that it is dry boiled. This made us very indignant: how is this different from what we do at home? The girlfriend also dragged her very uncomfortable body to ask the doctor if she could have an injection or drip, but she was directly rejected, saying that the injection can only be given when the temperature reaches 39 degrees. So the girlfriend can only sit and play mummy in the dark hospital lobby, silently waiting for the nucleic acid results to come out so that she can go home early.

Not long after my girlfriend got better, I also started to have a fever. The progress of the disease is very similar to that of my girlfriend, but this time we know that going to the hospital is useless, so I suffered one less crime in the fever clinic. It was hot and cold, had a splitting headache, a runny cough, and was completely unable to concentrate. This time, I really felt the pain of my girlfriend. There is no good way to do it, but to work hard, take medicine on time, and feel the dizziness and helplessness at the moment. I’m still trying to work, but have fully written anything decent and can only do little tinkering. Jobs like weekly newspapers are completely impossible to pick up, so I dove several issues in one go.

Now it’s finally better, I hope all friends will also pay attention to your body:

  • Don’t be greedy, it’s really uncomfortable to have a cold and a fever
  • Considering the current epidemic situation, the treatment of fever patients is really bad, don’t experience it
  • Don’t forget to exercise while working from home. Improving your immunity can make you suffer less from many sins.

During this period of illness, I didn’t produce a lot, mainly because I did some physical work that didn’t waste my brain:

  • Added PRESIGN support to Databend, it is now possible to create a pre-signed link to a file in Stage
  • Databend CI has made some experience improvements and added some new Post Checks
  • Databend supports COPY FROM/INTO different storage backends, completely breaking the data island
  • Implemented HTTP support for Databend, now you can directly COPY FROM 'https://repo.databend.rs/datasets'

Let me touch it for another week and discuss interesting issues with you next week~
