When Fear Finally Gripped Me

Oh! No! Do not take me wrongly. Am not a fearful person. Extroverts often take the bull by the horns and I am one. Fear is sin. Fear breaks even the strong. Fear kills long before the death itself.

What Is Fear

I know little about fear from Wikipedia. Fear is a phobia. Thanks are so many people gripped by different phobias. Some fear heights while others do animals like caterpillars.

So fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.

That is exactly what was eating me from the inside. It was biting deep. This was an emotion caused by a threat. I was threatened. My life was in danger. Death was just at my doorstep.

What Was Ailing Me?

My brother who lived in China was home visiting. We were birds of a feather. We flocked together.

Then news hit us! Corona was here with us. It somehow originated in China. My brother was put in #quarantine. Results revealed he was positive!

I lost sense of smell and appetite. My body felt weak and fatigueous. There was coughing, sneezing and diarrhea. I was running a high temperature. I was taken in a quarantine too.

Yet three tests proved me negative. I just had flu. I was treated and discharged. Thank God!

Wow, I am so happy you're doing better now. I think that many are not getting the full-blown virus, but the flu instead.

Thank you. I escaped it and thank God. It will soon go
