Here is what he had to say about his healing journey from Covid-19: 

“My Lessons From Getting COVID-19, Healing Journey & Personal Gratitude 

In the afternoon of November 2, I experienced cold chill in my body. It is as though I was atop the Swiss Alps in December.

I took very hot shower, wore two t-shirts, sweater & two track-bottoms & two duvets. I broke no sweat.  

As I have never been admitted even once in Hospital all my life, I assumed this “winter chill” will go. But It didn’t. On Friday, I decided to visit my Doctors at Aga Khan University Hospital.  

They did all tests on my blood & urine and found I was as fit as a fiddle. It is when they decided to test for COVID-19. I didn’t & I don’t have the classic COVID-19 symptoms. I tested positive. I have no fever. I don’t cough. I don’t sneeze.  

By the time I tested Positive, my lungs had been compromised. The Doctors had to work to help my lungs recover, my oxygen levels increased & to have my body fight the viral attack. I have been on cocktails of medicine & oxygen since but now well to be discharged to recuperate at home.  

Whilst admitted here at Aga Khan University Hospital, I got to learn about COVID-19, not much but a little. First, there is so much Science doesn’t know with certainty how COVID-19 is spread & when it stops being contagious.

Since my infection but before knowing I was positive, interacted with close friends in the office, restaurants and home ....all have tested negative. I don’t know where and how I was infected. But I didn’t infect anyone I know that I came in contact with. 

For COVID-19, all the latest Science shows that on its Cause, Testing, Treatment & Contagion, there unknown unknowns, known knowns, known unknowns and known owns. But everything is still up in the air.  

And insurance doesn’t cover COVID-19 medical bills. And no Government anywhere can shoulder it. Responsibility therefore for containing the spread & treatment of COVID-19 is personal responsibility. To blame GoK for its spread or treatment is FALSEHOOD & HYPOCRISY. 

For now, as I leave for home to recuperate, I plead with my friends to chat with me by text & Whatsapp only to allow my lungs heal. I want to limit my speaking. And thanks to all my family’s and friends locally and abroad for all prayers and well wishes. I will get back to all. God Bless.”

Many friends, colleagues and social media users wished him well on his recovery from Covid-19.
