Green Light: I Survived Delta

By Jose Alejandro Quiroz Salazar

On a cold night, I was admitted to the hospital with severe COVID-19 symptoms. My body ached, my throat burned and the breathlessness made it difficult to even speak. All I wanted was to go back home and rest in peace but instead, I was confined in hospital wards filled with fear and uncertainty.

My mind was consumed with worry as my mother had been hospitalized just a few days before me. The thoughts of her well-being lingered in my mind like a haunting melody, refusing to be silenced.

Fear gnawed at me as reports of increasing fatalities circulated. At that moment, ignorance clouded my mind and I was unaware that a new and more ferocious variant was rising. It was clear to me, however, that something was amiss. My body felt weighted down and an unsettling feeling rested in the pit of my stomach. It was evident to me that I had fallen prey to the devastating Delta variant of the virus.

As days passed by, my health worsened even further as the infection spread throughout my body. Doctors had no choice but to intubate me in order to save my life. I went into unconsciousness for an indefinite amount of time.

During this period, I experienced eight vivid dreams that were so profound that they felt like real-life experiences which led me on a journey of self-discovery; stories that I will share with you in the following pages, as well as my experience surviving Delta.
