Scared for corona after a party

123flower · Aug 16, 2020

In my country the rules are not strict. So we can go to a birthday party of a few people (6 adults and 4 kids in my case). I thoughy the party would be outside in the garden because of the nice weather. But because it was too hot it was at home with the airconditioning and fan on. The living room was small, there was a bit of 1,5 meter distance, but kids were sreaming and walking the whole time near us.

I have ocd and am scared easily (anxiety, phobia) And during corona I wash my hands a lot and am more scared than most people. My husband said it would probably be in the garden en not indoors so it would be fine to go. So I was shocked to see that it was indoors in their tiny livingroom but was too scared to say something about it to the host. So we sat there for almost 2 hours.

Now at home I’m scared for the virus. I can’t help it. I have a mental illness. My husband is not scared. I don’t know what to do and I feel lonely. I’m scared for this 2 weeks that I have to wait.

You either picked it up or you didn't, and there's nothing you can do to change that. It's in God's hands now, not yours.

Besides, if everyone there has been well-isolated and healthy for the last couple of weeks, it should be fine.

Try to beef up you immune system with healthy foods (apples, garlic, honey etc) and supplements like zinc. God designed us with an immune system.

You can help your immunity and mental health, instead of just waiting.

Take D3 and C vitamin, excercise, go outside to nature to relax, you can also drink some antivirotic drinks like citrovital (or whatever alternative you have in your country).

Even if you have the virus, you can make it much more mild by being generally more healthy.

It's unlikely that you will pick up the virus, but you should know if symptoms develop in five days or so from the date of the party.

It's fourteen days that people quarantine if exposed, but you most likely--not absolutely but most likely--will experience symptoms in much less time than that if you are infected.

OK, good, still young, and very low risk, and that's only if you do get it which is less likely than you will get it.

Thanks for your reply. You said it’s unlikely I will get the virus. That sounds good. But can I ask why?

For one thing, many of the people you came in contact with were children, and they are less likely to be infected than adults. For another, I am assuming that you took as much care as possible not to be sneezed upon or talked to straight on, face-to-face, as you could under the circumstances, even in the absence of masks and social distancing.

And what about the airconditioning? I’ve heard that its not good with corona.

I really don't know anything about that.
