1/ Five days after my Covid duty ended, I started having nasal congestion, fatigue, and a mildly sore throat. Yesterday, I got tested for Covid and it came back positive. I only have a mild disease which will hopefully go away in a couple of days. But here's the thing: 2/ I did my duties in full PPE: 3 layers of clothing and gloves, and least 2 masks, one being an N95. I got back home, kept all my stuff in a separate area, and took a long warm bath before going anywhere near my family. I still somehow got infected, and my family is at risk.

I've just completed a 2 week duty in a Covid ward. Some words here might be harsh but I can find no better alternatives. People are being extremely irresponsible. They claim they're not afraid of corona. Maybe they think it's because of their firm belief in God. That is not true. They are not afraid, maybe, because they've never seen someone long for air so desperately it hurts their chest. Maybe they've never seen someone have a tube pushed down their throat. Maybe they've never seen someone they were talking to a day before die on the bed next to them.

Here’s a thread about how I prepared for my IELTS.

This is my personal opinion after trying different methods for over 4 months, and consulting numerous websites. 1/n First thing first; the Cambridge Books, or most of them for that matter, don’t really help. They did maybe a couple of years ago but the essays that are written there won’t get you a band 7. They’re helpful for getting the topics to write though. 2/n
