how much
worse can it really get i don't know
about you
but asking myself this question would
typically
make me feel better it's as if i
reassure myself
that if this is my rock bottom then the
only way left
is up but surprise kovit 19 has showed
up
and left us at the edge of our seats
today my maid talia and myself
farahale will share with you our own
stories with hitting rock bottom
but spoiler alert as you can see
the two of us standing here today only
goes to show
that even rock bottom can be overcome
farah and i met and became friends at
university
we run in the same circles and have
similar interests
we usually chuck up on one another very
regularly
late last year i learned that farah
contracted kovind 19.
i was worried and surprised because i
assumed that
we young people are safe from the virus
are immune and shielded again govet 19
has proved us wrong
in september 2020 i tested positive for
covet 19.
my body was weak and i felt like i had
to drag my
own weight like a zombie i had no energy
to move eat or even to smile
it was tough in all possible ways and i
wanted to be over with it as soon as
possible
i did everything i had to do just so i
don't spend another day confined to my
room
i did not want to stay in bed but i did
i did not want to eat healthy but i
forced myself to
dealing with my physical ailment was not
the tough part of being sick
it was my mind that was a whole
different
story it felt as if my mind
started its own war against me no matter
what i did
i could not shake off the feeling of
being stuck
and powerless i remember thinking to
myself
what's next how could this virus outdo
itself
now i kept on blaming myself and those
who i socialized with
how could they do this to me more so
no matter how many people checked up on
me
i couldn't but feel lonely as the two
weeks passed
my body started getting stronger again
this put me at ease
it showed me that whatever it is i was
doing or not doing
was actually working during that period
i learned that ali's newborn brother was
battling for his life
i wanted to support him as well but knew
that i had to support myself first
my family and i were expecting my baby
brother
i was expecting someone to share my room
with
to disturb my morning peace interrupt my
study time
and turn my nights sleepless i never
thought that such a blessing
was to meet this world with so much
suffering
at such an early age the little boy
surprised us two weeks earlier than
expected
with several respiratory complications
i can still remember the physician
calling my father and me aside
to inform us about the baby's severe
medical condition
i was concerned about my brother's
health especially
after hearing the physician whispering
anxiously with the other nurses
about the limited period of time the
baby still has
six hours were all we had
to save his life we had to take action
and search for qualified hospitals
capable of handling his medical
condition
with their advanced tech and call an
ambulance to transport them
between calling hospitals searching for
vacancies
waiting for the complex precautions and
procedures by the paramedics
and being bound by the six hour limit
i had no choice but to endure the pain
and anxiety finally
we were able to make it and the
ambulance
was able to transport my brother safely
by then i was thinking to myself
what kind of a world will host my
brother
what type of childhood will my brother
experience
and the whole range of what why and how
questions
were haunting me as we were racing
against the clock
few weeks after addy and i were
virtually participating in university
project
and i recall the conversation between us
ali i made it i tested negative and i'm
glad that your brother is now in a
medically stable condition and improving
i'm so glad that you recovered and yes
my yet to be spoiled little brother
is now in stable condition do you
remember what we learned in the world
civilizations course
about the pandemic and chaos that
initial civilizations have gone through
yes i do is that similar or comparable
i guess so i think in the future this
pandemic will be added to this course
and future generations will learn about
it
but honey did we really have to go
through all of this
given all the advancements in science
technology and medicine
we have learned about all the preventive
proactive and all the prefixes
approaches
which seem to fail at least for now did
we really have to go through all of this
honestly i do not have an answer this
same thought continues to perplex me
we are lucky that we survived and we are
sorry
we are so sorry for every individual and
family
who did not make it we leave you with
hope that the present we will be leaving
behind
becomes a learning experience for future
generations
we hope we will emerge from this
situation
more compassionate more understanding
more mindful
more cautious and more loving and
appreciative
towards one another and our struggles
may we always turn our challenges into
opportunities of growth
community building and well-being
until then let us stay safe
and look out for one another thank you

它真的会变得更糟我
不了解你，
但问自己这个问题通常
会让我感觉更好，就好像我
向自己
保证，如果这是我的最低点，那么
剩下的唯一方法
就是向上，但令人惊讶的是 kovit 19 有 今天出现
并把我们留在了座位的边缘，
我的女仆 talia 和我自己
farahale 将与你分享我们自己的
故事，他们触底
但剧透警报，因为你可以
看到我们两个今天站在这里只是
为了
表明即使是摇滚 底部可以克服
farah 和我在大学认识并成为了朋友
我们在同一个圈子里有
相似的兴趣
我们通常经常
互相吐槽 去年年底我得知 farah
与 kovind 签约 19。
我很担心和惊讶，因为我
假设
我们年轻人对病毒是安全的
免疫并再次受到保护 govet 19
在 2020 年 9 月证明我们错了 我的 covet 19 检测呈阳性
。
我的身体很虚弱，我觉得我必须
要医生 ag 我
自己的体重像个僵尸 我没有
力气移动 吃饭甚至微笑
这一切都很难，我
想尽快结束它
我做了我必须做的一切，所以我
不 在我的房间里度过另一天
我不想待在床上，但
我确实不想吃得健康，但我
强迫自己
处理我的身体疾病
不是生病的艰难部分，
而是我的思想 完全
不同的
故事感觉好像我的思想
开始了自己的战争
无论我做什么
我都无法摆脱
被卡住
和无能为力的感觉我记得
我在
想接下来会发生什么这种病毒怎么能超越
自己
现在我一直在指责 我自己和那些与
我交往的人
他们怎么能对我做更多所以
无论有多少人检查
我
我都忍不住感到孤独，因为
两周过去了
我的身体再次开始变得更强壮
这让我很放松
它表明 我不管我在
做什么
在那段时间里，
我知道阿里刚出生的弟弟
正在为他的生命
而战 和我同住一个
房间 打扰我早上的安宁 打断我的
学习
时间 让我
夜不能寐 几个呼吸系统并发症
我仍然记得医生
把我和我父亲叫到一边
，告诉我们婴儿的严重
健康状况
我很担心我兄弟的
健康，尤其是
在听到医生
和其他护士焦急地低声
说婴儿的时间有限之后
仍然有
六个小时我们
必须挽救他的生命 我们必须采取行动
并寻找合格的医院
c 能够
用他们的先进技术处理他的健康状况并叫
救护车将他们运送
到呼叫医院寻找
空缺
等待护理人员的复杂预防措施和
程序
并受到六小时限制的约束
我别无选择，只能忍受痛苦
和焦虑终于
我们能够成功，
救护车能够安全地运送我的兄弟
那时我在想
什么样的世界会接待我的
兄弟
我的兄弟会经历什么样的童年
以及整个范围为什么 几个星期后，
当我们与时间赛跑时
，问题
是如何困扰着我的
身体状况稳定并且正在好转
我很高兴你康复了，是的，
我尚未被宠坏的小弟弟
现在情况稳定 你
还记得我们在世界文明课程中学到的
关于最初文明所经历的大流行和混乱
是的，我认为是相似或可比的，
所以我认为未来这种
流行病将被添加到这门课程中
，后代将 了解
它，
但是亲爱的
，
考虑到科学技术和医学的所有进步，我们真的必须经历所有这一切吗？
我们已经了解了所有预防性
主动和所有前缀
方法
，这些方法至少目前似乎失败了，
我们真的必须这样做吗？ 诚实地经历这一切
我没有答案
同样的想法继续困扰着我
我们很幸运我们幸存下来了
我们很抱歉我们为没有成功的每个个人和家庭感到非常抱歉
我们给你留下
希望 现在我们将被
抛在后面
成为后代的学习经验
我们希望我们能摆脱这种
情况
更富有同情心更多理解 g
更加小心谨慎，更加热爱和
欣赏
彼此和我们的奋斗，
愿我们始终将挑战转化
为成长的机会，
社区建设和福祉
在那之前，让我们保持安全
并互相照顾，谢谢
