So, all these while you just listen to stories about how Covid-19 affect other peoples' lives. Until one day it comes and knocks on your door.

My dad, at 70 operates a GP in the other side of the country. Still going strong despite the age. Being a doctor is not just his profession, it is his passion.
Told us all that he will open his clinic until he no longer has the strength to do so.

Before the MCO, he was visited by a Tabligh fella. During history taking, the fella revealed that he missed the gathering due to some prior commitments, much to my father's relief.

When the MCO was declared, my dad chose to close his clinic as well, also due to him being in the high-risk category.

However, today, he just received the news from KKM that the patient was indeed positive. This was due to him keeping in the close company other Tabligh fellas who attended the Ijtima'.
Both dad and mum were unwell during the first few days of MCO, but they are OK now, not showing any symptoms. However, KKM insists on him to get screened tomorrow.

So here I am, away in KL, unable to do anything but to pray and offer moral support from far through phone calls.

Sigh, it sucks, this helplessness.

Latest update: test came back negative! Thanks for the support /k. I can breath easy now. So do my parents. They are still strictly observing quarantine and MCO with support from neighbours and friends who left food items at the gate for them.

Can video call your parents while they are MCO / quarantine?

Parents in a place where the internet is just horrendous, both broadband and phone coverage

hospital?

allmost all hosp/klinik i go, their internet connection is shit. i wonder why.

Be stronger and wait for them to join you.

Hope your parents results are negative and they’ll get well soon.

Pray for the best

Damn. Tabligh lagi
Why dont they go straight hospital screening

well, look at your father forehead,chinese said, if it aint black , he gonna make it

They do install jammers in hospitals, u know...

Pray for the best TS

Hope ur parents are ok. Take care.

In another view, even if your dad is well, KKM looking for retired senior doctors to come serve the country.

Hard times these days. Wish your dad is well and clear no covid.

I understand. Though yours are more family related, mine is about my girlfriend.

She works at JPN, and when MCO was announced, she still went to work on the 18th (the first day of implementation). Later at work she found out that her boss tested positive for Covid-19. And she told me that she did work closely with her boss.

So, starting from there, she and few of her colleagues were told to undergo self - quarantine at home for 14 days to check for symptoms.

Earlier this week, she told me that she developed cough and flu. Of which, I told her to try and take medicine first to relieve of the symptoms mentioned. And I really really hoped that to be the case.

Last Thursday, she told me that she will take the covid-19 test at KPJ Damansara on Friday, as her cough did not go away even after 4 days of eating meds. And yesterday, she was confirmed to be positive.

We still contact each other every day. And today, she told me that she started to feel her breathing abit 'tersekat - sekat' and taking deep breathes would result in coughing.

Please, just pray for her if you have some time to spare. And sorry for the long writing. Just need the place to let it all out.

Hope all will be well for you TS.

I pray your parents will be okay

I believe ur parents will be fine. Based on ur description, they r strong & healthy

R u a doctor?

Err, let me guess, Sarawak ?

Yeah I had horrendous internet and broadband coverage when I was working there.

Best wishes hope recover.

Salute your dad for his contributions to the people till this age. My thoughts and prayers are with him

Hopefully your father will be ok

2 of my niece and nephew just receive letters by KKM to work as nurse.

I can give you nothing but prayers and well wishes man.
At least she got age and good wellbeing on her side. I believe she will come out of this stronger than ever. God Bless.

Wish the best to both of your situation.

Thank you /k for all your well wishes. I will keep this thread updated when the result comes in. Based on our last conversations today, he sounded in high spirit and didn't seem unwell at all. Gotta go tomorrow with positive energy!

In the cemetery?

At least your loved ones will be assured you are stronger and will live on. Is that not the way to comfort your loved ones?

Good luck dagnarus hope your parents survive this.

Tablig again
Fucking pests.

Best wishes for them, try to eat more vitamin C (if possible). Now also, vitamin C mostly all sold out everywhere.

Signs of pneumonia.

Thanks man. You're right, hopefully she will be able to recover, God willing

My prayers for your parents too, hopefully everybody can recover

best wishes, hope all comes out well, stay strong dont stress out too much.

was informed my manager is positive, now i also kene self quarantine and do screening at KKM.

Stories like this is why I fucking hate the tablighs with a passion right now. Acting all high and mighty when preaching about religion to others, yet when the time comes for them to take responsibility, they ran the fuck away and we have to chase them until they get backed to a corner.

My best wishes and prayers for your parents, TS.

To ts and you, stay strong.

But its very hard to ignore the feeling of powerless, unable to do anything for your loved one.

Video call...chit chat more. Healthy mind keeps body in good spirits.

shit man, stay strong. Can at least whatsapp and send pictures?

Stay strong TS!! Hope all the best for your parents...

Stay strong brudda

Some electrical wave might mess up their cpu, machine data, etcnetc.
Just like when airplane take off.. we are not allowed to use phone.
Same reason

Hope for speedy recovery soon and stay strong

Tell your story to Dr Ong jogging supporter.

Damn bodo joggers.

So sorry to hear that, TS. Hope he's not infected.

best wishes to your dad and mom.

Yeah, the anxiety once someone in your workplace was confirmed positive was surreal. It's not so much about life/death but rather you'll feel helpless about possibly spreading it to family members and loved ones.

guys pls keep us updated

Really sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you two. Stay strong

Stay strong ts

Sending good vibes to you guys. Please get early treatment before it worsens. May you and your family be well, happy and peaceful.

The worries is true. Keep them calm, tell them its fine and stay healthy. When it strikes, It is almost like a death penalty, you might lost the only chance to see any or both ever again after the went in.

Few of my staff are also from WUHAN, and also missed going back for CNY this year. Can be said to be luck, but at the same time, sadness because some neighbor of their community, either died one or two, some an entire elder family all say bye bye.

One colleague even offer her three storey-tall apartment for government use during quarantine, now it was still in use for oversea expatriates, and has to accept the damage cause by them for no reason. (Aircond destroyed. Water sink jammed. Toilet kong. Balcony full of rubbish. This is so called educated people... what a shame)

I've got a house, with courtyard summore in Changsha, in Hunan, below Hubei. But it wasn't use cos of inconvenience. Offer to CCP gov also no take.

they previously were put on hold for long time the suddenly got letter urgently come asking them to report for work? Wow. If it's the case Can say kkm quite efficient when they need manpower .

got ppl say 100% tabligh tested so it proves that they're responsible?

But I also forgot.. the ppl who share those posts didnt have the brain cells to comprehend that even if it's 100% of them tested doesn't mean they all came on their own will



Oh btw, I also got notified because I was at the area of a positive case. Wish me luck. But im surprised no ktards positive?

Dont worry. You father is a life saver. So things going to be alright for him.

The worst part is u can't be there. Not allow to touch them, hold their hands.

Anyway, it's better to detect early. The treatment will help.

Call and talk to them as frequent as possible will definitely help.

be tough, the good deed will be blessed.

Which state your father in? Borneo?

Testing went without hitch today especially when the doctors serving in the KK knew my dad personally as he has been operating his GP for 33 years now. I guess I can say that he received a preferential or courtesy treatment due to him being a doctor and got it done very quickly. And now the waiting begins....

I just got news today that the result has come back negative. So relieved. Words can't describe the feels. Thanks for the support /k

Good

Congratulation bro.

Glad to hear that!

Congrats.
Hopefully covid gets under control and you can go visit them

Damn these Tablighs are terrible trouble

Thank God almighty.
Your father discharge already?

screen once enough? Do they still need quarantine?

I have no idea. But the quarantine still goes on. It has been 23 days already since contact was made.
