Tenerife, a beautiful island known for its pristine beaches and vibrant culture, is now facing an unexpected threat – a mysterious respiratory disease. This illness, which has been spreading rapidly, is causing a dry cough unlike any other. It feels as if one has inhaled desert dust, and it is making it extremely difficult for individuals to sleep at night.
The strange part? The symptoms seem to worsen during the night, but become milder in the afternoon. And it’s not just a few cases – every other person seems to be experiencing the same coughing pattern, making it almost impossible to ignore.
Experts believe that this could be a new variant of Covid-19, and those who have recently received the vaccine may have some level of protection against it. However, even vaccinated individuals who do get sick have reported a milder and shorter duration of the illness.
But here’s the scary part – the disease seems to subside after about six days, only to come back with a vengeance after two relatively mild days. The full duration of the illness, with both phases, is about 14 days. It’s a rollercoaster of symptoms that is leaving the residents of Tenerife on edge.
As the authorities work towards finding a solution and containing the spread, it is crucial for the public to stay vigilant. Taking necessary precautions such as wearing masks, washing hands regularly, and avoiding crowded places can go a long way in protecting ourselves and our communities.
In the meantime, let’s keep those affected in our thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery.
