After being exposed to the novel Omicron variant of coronary pneumonia virus, Yangcheon's smell and taste seemed to be wrapped in plastic wrap. It tastes like chewing wax,” he said.

He turned to his girlfriend's mother, a nurse at a hospital in Porto, Portugal, for help. Instead of medication and treatment, he told her to buy her roast chicken whole and eat more.

A 21-year-old Chinese student, born in Xi'an, embarks on a journey to meet Omicron alone abroad.

1. In April 2021, Yang Chen, after a year of studying online at a language school in his hometown of Xi'an, flew directly from Beijing to Spain to continue his studies.

Before leaving the country, he was vaccinated twice and received a "negative test" after receiving a nucleic acid test. At that time, about 4,000 new cases of pulmonary embolism were added daily in Spain. Yang Chen did not see the staff wearing white protective clothing after landing, and no one checked his vaccination certificate and records. The only intervention was that the police took away two bags of Chinese medicines which they thought were drugs.

Europe's most recent pandemic occurred after Christmas and the media used "tsunami outbreaks" to describe the spread of different omicrons across Europe. Yang Chen recalled that "the number of new cases of pneumonia in Europe has exceeded 100 million", which had once become a hotspot, accounting for nearly a seventh of Europeans. .

On Christmas Eve, Yang Chen's eyes were itchy and there were no red blood cells or tears. The next day I started having a sore throat "It's like eating too much pepper, so it hurts when you swallow."

At that time, Spain was beginning to experience a sixth epidemic. More than 5.7 million new cases of pneumonia have been identified in a country with a total population of 47 million. On December 29, 2021, over 100,000 new patients were added. In La Liga, known to Chinese fans, 31 employees were diagnosed on December 28. As of January 15, the number of new corona cases in Korea has exceeded 8 million. .

After the New Year, Yang Chen received a warning from the city government to wear an outdoor mask. "The spread of omicrons is dangerous with hundreds of thousands (of new patients) every day."

At the time, Yangcheon was a guest at his girlfriend's house. His girlfriend is from Porto, Portugal. As a student in Macau, I love Chinese culture and cuisine. He often asked Yang Chen to take him to a Chinese restaurant to eat fried noodles.

Portugal, the city of his girlfriend, was also attacked by Omicron. As of January 3 local time, 89.6% of new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in Portugal were infected with Omicron. As of January 17, the number of new confirmed cases was over 1.88 million, the death toll had risen to 20,000 and Germany had chosen Portugal, Spain and the United States as high-risk territory. .

Yangcheon thought "seen" at first. When she was in this situation when she was young, her grandmother often gave her a handful of "wax beans", which reduced symptoms after diarrhea.

He couldn't find "yellow peas" in Portugal and couldn't explain to his Portuguese friends what "burning" was. After dinner, I had a fever and a sore throat, so I couldn't eat.

Yangcheon, as taught by his girlfriend's mother, who was a nurse, was passionate about pain and ate a plate of rice and some roast chickens.

On the evening of December 26, 2021, Yangcheon showed the most severe symptoms. Just like a seriously ill man who coughs and sneezes and coughs in his sleep, "cough deep, cough every night" with a thud with a sore throat, half chest pain and vomiting twice.

High fever. That night he was cold to the bone in his hotel in Porto.

At dawn, he found a new coronary pneumonia virus self-test kit at his girlfriend's house, costing 5 euros (about 35 yuan), similar to a household "nasal swab" nucleic acid test. After approximately 30 minutes, the test site will see two bars indicating "OK". He was diagnosed with a new virus (COVID-19).

Yang Chen said he immediately felt "happy" for no apparent reason. The plague has been a problem for two or three years, and I have experienced it myself.

When the European students we talked to saw Yang Chen facing East Asia, someone always turned their heads outward or took off the mask and put on a mask.

"I look strong and I'm not handsome." Yang Chen is 1.75 meters tall and has light muscles. He started boxing in middle school and his main theme was "Unlimited Martial Arts". "If you switch to a weak person or a girl, someone will come out and tell you to wear a mask or even abuse, even though you don't have to wear a mask. Sell out."

Some of his students around the world also contracted the disease, and of his acquaintances he wrote the sign saying, "It's time to come." Muscle pain a day and a half, can't stand, stable, diarrhea the next day, constant cough, voice can't speak normally, on the third day I went to the hospital for checkup and reagents chemicals that get results. In 10 minutes, it changed instantly in 2 seconds. I saw you both, but now...

For Yang Chen, the most dangerous symptom of the disease is nasal congestion. The colorless, odorless water flows through the nose, and unlike snot, "it doesn't stick to anything."

Yang Chen said, "I'm scared at this time" and suddenly thought, "It's like something in my mind is melting and coming out of my nose."

2. Yang Chen returned from Portugal to Almeria, the city in southern Spain where he lived. There are no national health regulations or local travel codes, and no one is met at the airport to check body temperature and passport. Vaccination passport QR code. Yangcheon wears a mask and returns to her hotel room as usual for a private separation.

"Oh Lord, my mother went to work with a fever." The day after Yang Chen left, his girlfriend sent a message that he and his mother both had a fever. On the same day, my mother went to the hospital for labor and was hospitalized due to shortness of breath. Yang Chen does not know whether the virus spread by itself to his girlfriend's family or his girlfriend's family.

He did not receive a call from the public health agency for a communicable disease investigation. Whether in Portugal or Spain, it is unclear which government or agency should declare the outbreak.

According to Spanish media, on December 29, 2021 local time, the Spanish Public Health Commission agreed to reduce the exclusion period for new cases (COVID-19) from 10 days to 7 days, and the neighbors there- low. vaccine should be excluded.

In fact, exclusion is a matter of self-awareness. Yang Chen sometimes wears a mask when shopping and eating. Yang Chen said, "I don't want to go out and hurt others. But I'm alone in a foreign country. I can't buy things without leaving. That's a problem."

After the fever subsided, Yang Chen's body temperature returned to normal, but he still coughed, sneezed, and had a sore throat. I have a strange sensation in my mouth when I drink. "People think it's water even though it doesn't make a difference." It seems that he only drank "lukewarm water" that day.

Yang Chen put a lot of salt and seasoning in eggs and meat while cooking, he went to a store in China and bought a bottle of Laoganma for 3.25 euros (about 22 yuan), but didn't still hasn't tasted in his mouth. "She's depressed." Yangcheon thinks of shabu-shabu, the nation's most memorable foreign country.

He searched the Internet for ways to treat his mood and smell, poured fresh orange juice into a tall glass and poured it on his stomach, but to no avail, different from drinking water.

On January 5, he tested his nucleic acid several times and the results came back negative. Three days later, while drinking the fresh orange juice, he felt like a few drops of orange juice had pierced the "plastic bag" and then forgot to taste it in his mouth. His sense of taste and aroma suddenly returns.

3. Yang Chen feels better. On January 6, he rode a motorbike and traveled more than 1,200 km from Spain to Portugal. Afraid of being tested because he had to cross the border, he went to the clinic and got the wrong nucleic acid certificate before leaving. It's empty.

He learned on January 12 that the Spanish leader had proposed to the European Union and called on EU partners to discuss “the potential cure for coronavirus-like flu”.

Yang Chen said, “If it were to be sent to China, it would not be considered. In the youth rally video he was photographed, a few people were wearing masks.

"I promise I won't be vaccinated," said Yang Chen, a friend from France. He quit his job as a cook, driving 10 hours from Paris to Toulouse and hiding in the mountains and forests more than 100 miles away to earn money by trading bitcoins.

In September last year, Yangcheon visited the mountain of motorcycles. Electricity and the mobile phone network are not the same.

"That's an exaggeration. You can't eat, exercise, sleep and see other people every day." Yang Chen spent a week on the mountain road, wearing only underwear and riding a motorcycle. And the French friend was always alone in the mountains.

"I never understood what these people were thinking," Yangcheon said. "If you think the vaccine is harmful to your body, you're not the type of person who usually smokes and smokes and cares about your health."

Yang Chen hopes the European spread will end soon so his friends can go back to work and live in the city. He also hopes the outbreak in his hometown of Xi'an will go away soon, with all of his relatives there and planning to return with his Portuguese girlfriend this summer. .

Recently, Yangcheon lost confidence after learning that "IHU", a variant of the new disease, had appeared in France.
