At any other time, getting diagnosed with pneumonia would be a bummer. But in the midst of a global Covid-19 pandemic, this man says he’s “never been happier”.

Writing from his isolation ward at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Mike Davie took to Facebook yesterday (March 25) to recount his harrowing coronavirus scare, revealing behind-the-scenes details about what it’s like for potential Covid-19 patients in Singapore. 

The post, which has amassed over 3,100 shares, spared no detail on Davie’s experience. But here are the most illuminating tidbits we gleaned.

How he became a suspected Covid-19 case

Davie, first realised that something was wrong when he developed a fever and a dry cough on Monday (March 23) after completing 15 days of self-isolation.

The CEO and founder of technology company Quadrant, who is based in Singapore, had recently returned from a family trip to South Korea and Canada and was considered to be at “high risk” of getting infected.

After recounting his travel history and symptoms to a doctor at a clinic, he was “thrown into an experience like no other”.
