Greta Thunberg presenta síntomas asociados a Covid-19

La activista Greta Thunberg anunció a través de Instagram que padece síntomas propios del Coronavirus tras volver de un viaje a Europa Central.

Su padre, quien viajó con ella desde Bruselas, experimentó los mismos síntomas pero con una gravedad todavía mayor.

La joven sueca informó que estuvo aislada durante dos semanas en un departamento para no contagiar al resto de su familia.

The last two weeks I’ve stayed inside. When I returned from my trip around Central Europe I isolated myself (in a borrowed apartment away from my mother and sister) since the number of cases of COVID-19 (in Germany for instance) were similar to Italy in the beginning. Around ten days ago I started feeling some symptoms, exactly the same time as my father – who traveled with me from Brussels. I was feeling tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed. My dad experienced the same symptoms, but much more intense and with a fever. In Sweden you can not test yourself for COVID-19 unless you’re in need of emergent medical treatment. Everyone feeling ill are told to stay at home and isolate themselves. I have therefore not been tested for COVID-19, but it’s extremely likely that I’ve had it, given the combined symptoms and circumstances. Now I’ve basically recovered, but – AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: I almost didn’t feel ill. My last cold was much worse than this! Had it not been for someone else having the virus simultainously I might not even have suspected anything. Then I would just have thought I was feeling unusually tired with a bit of a cough. And this it what makes it so much more dangerous. Many (especially young people) might not notice any symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms. Then they don’t know they have the virus and can pass it on to people in risk groups. We who don’t belong to a risk group have an enormous responsibility, our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others. Please keep that in mind, follow the advice from experts and your local authorities and #StayAtHome to slow the spread of the virus. And remember to always take care of each other and help those in need. #COVID #flattenthecurve

Thunberg, estandarte global de la conservación ambiental, mencionó que las regulaciones en Suecia no le permiten a cualquier paciente hacerse la prueba del Covid-19.

En Suecia no puedes hacerte la prueba a menos que tengas necesidad de cuidados médicos emergentes. Quien se sienta enfermo, debe regresar a casa y aislarse. 

Por esta razón, la activista no ha podido realizarse la prueba y tener un diagnóstico oficial, aunque considera «extremadamente probable» que la padezca debido a sus síntomas y circunstancias.

Me sentía cansada, tuve escalofríos. Me dolía la garganta y tosía con frecuencia

Thunberg señaló que, aunque está casi recuperada, la importancia de tomar precauciones radica en que los síntomas pueden desestimarse rápidamente.

Mi último resfriado fue mucho peor que esto. De no haber sido porque alguien haya experimentado los mimos síntomas al mismo tiempo, quizá no hubiera sospechado nada.

La activista llamó a los jóvenes, que de portar la enfermedad podrían tener síntomas menores, a resguardarse para no contagiar a personas en posición vulnerable.
