瑞典環保少女「喉嚨痛」自稱感染武漢肺炎

李蘇竣綜合報導

瑞典環保少女桑伯格(Greta Thunberg)今(25)日透過「Instagram」表示，自己在過去10天曾有過「一些症狀」，如疲倦、咳嗽、喉嚨痛等，她表示雖然目前已經康復了，但她認為當時是感染了武漢肺炎(COVID-19)，她也坦承並未經過醫院檢驗。

未經醫院檢驗桑柏格自我診斷感染

武漢肺炎疫情不斷擴大，讓各國人心惶惶。瑞典環保少女桑伯格(Greta Thunberg)今日在社群網站「Instagram」發文表示，從中歐之行返國後，過去兩週都自我隔離在另一棟公寓之中，避免與家人接觸。她表示自己在10天前出現了一些症狀，如感到疲倦、顫抖、喉嚨痛以及咳嗽等，與她同行前往布魯塞爾的父親也出現類似症狀，但她的父親更加嚴重，還有發燒。

桑柏格表示，在瑞典，除非需要緊急醫療服務，否則沒有辦法進行COVID-19的相關檢測，每個生病的人都被要求在家中隔離。桑柏格認為，儘管自己沒有接受過相關檢驗，但從自身上的症狀判斷，當時很有可能已經感染武漢肺炎。

籲年輕人留意健康狀況避免病毒散播

桑柏格的貼文中表示，自己現在已經康復了，沒有任何不適，她說，若不是近期疫情大爆發，她根本不會懷疑自己是否染病。桑柏格強調，許多年輕人在感染後不會有症狀、或是沒留意到輕微的症狀，有很高的風險導致病毒進一步散播給他人。她呼籲，儘管年輕人不容易轉為重症，但卻承擔著巨大責任，一舉一動都有可能影響他人的生死。

她的貼文也引發網友熱議，有不少支持者留言替桑柏格加油，除了謝謝她的提醒，也盼她早日康復。但也有不少網友對此提出質疑，認為她並非醫學專業，不該草率提出確診的判斷，加劇社會的恐慌。

The last two weeks I’ve stayed inside. When I returned from my trip around Central Europe I isolated myself (in a borrowed apartment away from my mother and sister) since the number of cases of COVID-19 (in Germany for instance) were similar to Italy in the beginning. Around ten days ago I started feeling some symptoms, exactly the same time as my father - who traveled with me from Brussels. I was feeling tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed. My dad experienced the same symptoms, but much more intense and with a fever. In Sweden you can not test yourself for COVID-19 unless you’re in need of emergent medical treatment. Everyone feeling ill are told to stay at home and isolate themselves. I have therefore not been tested for COVID-19, but it’s extremely likely that I’ve had it, given the combined symptoms and circumstances. Now I’ve basically recovered, but - AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: I almost didn’t feel ill. My last cold was much worse than this! Had it not been for someone else having the virus simultainously I might not even have suspected anything. Then I would just have thought I was feeling unusually tired with a bit of a cough. And this it what makes it so much more dangerous. Many (especially young people) might not notice any symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms. Then they don’t know they have the virus and can pass it on to people in risk groups. We who don’t belong to a risk group have an enormous responsibility, our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others. Please keep that in mind, follow the advice from experts and your local authorities and #StayAtHome to slow the spread of the virus. And remember to always take care of each other and help those in need. #COVID #flattenthecurve
