Day One / by Albert Tsang

01:00

Waking up every 20-30 minutes since 01:00 feeling extremely hot and thirsty despite the room measuring 20c was the first warning sign. As with most tired souls, I simply tried to force myself back to sleep throughout the night. Average heart rate clocked at 97bpm by my Apple Watch.

The morning alarm goes off, feeling hot, face looking flushed and developing a headache. Something was definitely not right. First point of call, clean myself up and find the thermometer.

Hello fever!

Everything felt normal apart from a bit of heat under the collar, remote working for the entire morning went by without any issues. Dry cough develops. Water consumption increased to keep hydrated.

A marginal increase.…

15:30

Nothing to report on an uneventful afternoon of remote working, food and drink consumption is normal like any other day. However, the fever is starting to feel a little hot and there’s a slight light-headedness being felt. Cough is getting persistent. Average heart rate at 81bpm.

Wrapped up remote working and tried to stand up only to face a sudden dizziness, how unusual. Time to take a nap.
