Suidooster's Dean Smith shares details of Covid-19 experience, loneliness and guilt
's Dean Smith talks about his lingering symptoms and feelings of guilt after testing positive for Covid-19.
Dean, who received his positive test result on 14 July, says he is"feeling much better" despite still experiencing a lingering cough. And after completing the mandatory 14-day self-isolation period, he sometimes struggles with feelings of guilt following his return to work. He admits:"I had some bad symptoms. But the fact that you can't see your family, your loved ones, people you want to be close to. That kind of got to me."
"We're becoming numb to the news of death because it's such a regular thing now. It's sad that we have become almost desensitised to the news," he says. "If you have the mindset of, 'If I get it, I get it,' don't forget about the other people that you can potentially pass the virus on to as well," he says. Suidooster"I haven't been able to do any theatre work, still can't. The only theatre news you hear is about theatres closing down. And even when theatres are allowed to operate again, I don't think it will ever be the same.
