Mrs Helen Batson shared her journey in caring for her spouse who was diagnosed with Covid-19 in April 2020.
This Grenadian, who now lives in the United States of America, is a former police officer. She utilised every home remedy she could think of to assist her husband, as he battled a lengthy raging fever, severe weakness, and an ongoing cough. After an almost 2-week battle, he pulled through. Watch her testimony.
The personal testimony of Mrs Batson, shared by Central Health-Grenada, does not seek to replace any mandate by health officials. Each citizen must follow the health protocols outlined by Grenada’s Ministry of Health.
Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding a medical condition. Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice or treatment. All Covid-19 protocols provided by Grenada’s Ministry of Health must be adhered to.
Central Health-Grenada is a grassroots initiative. Its purpose is to educate nationals about chronic non-communicable diseases. As Covid-19 has devastating effects on persons with pre-existing conditions, Central Health-Grenada felt it important to highlight its impact on those most at risk.
A Wife’s Journey: Battling Covid to Save Her Husband, is another installment of Central Health-Grenada’s Covid-19 & Those Most at Risk, series.
I took an antigen test and found out I have the antibiotics. I was never sick at no time. Thank God!
So she didnt die and her husband pulled through. Bid C is not killing everyone. Some people don’t even know they had or have it.
Rebecca: COVID, cancer, diabetes, pneumonia, etc., will not kill everyone. However, when a virus kills over 225m people globally in 20 months, a state of emergency must be declared!.
A powerful message. Thank you for this
People of Grenada let me tell you, as one who was also hit with Covid in March 2020, this disease is no joke. It is extremely dangerous. When I visited Grenada this past May, I was shocked to see the number of people either not wearing masks even on crowded buses, or wearing their masks under their chin or under their nose. I asked myself so many times, do people understand that the virus enters through the nose? I remember entering someone’s office to transact some business with someone, and he was wearing no mask, and the person I went with, her mask under her chin; and walking all over town like that. Going into other offices with her mask under her chin. What is happening now is something that was waiting to happen. So sad. Grenadians, please wake up. Do what is right. Protect yourself. Protect others.
That is because we were pretty much covid19 free for the longest time. Border control did enough to keep the virus out or contained in quarantine.
The major change in the testing on arrival and being released 2 days later led to our downfall. So prior to that, even our health minister became complacent and was without a mask with a tourist (American actor Steven Segal).
Unfortunately, the change in border control led to four persons unknowingly under the false presumption of a false negative test going out into the community and spreading the virus.
It’s unfortunate to have arrived back in Grenada under these circumstances and when we let our guards down thinking it wasn’t coming in so easily and only detecting the virus on its way out which was obviously too late.
I pray that today, if you was to return, it would look quite different in that most persons would chose to follow protocols to protect themselves and protect others
