Covid‑19 is Making a Comeback in Our Neighborhood
Over the last few weeks, the neighborhood has seen a real uptick in Covid‑19 cases—almost everyone’s been catching the virus in a turn of events that feels like a game of “hot potato.”
Even the YouTube Stars Are Not Safe
In the very same month, Singapore‑based Japanese content creator Ghib Ojisan found himself caught in the same viral whirlwind. He gained the flu just before the Chinese New Year and, rather than hide it away, decided to turn it into a bit of a “behind‑the‑scenes” episode.
DIY Home Recovery: A Viral Video
On Feb 10, Ghib uploaded a video that gave audiences a peek into his isolation experience. Between Netflix marathons and his collection of grilled cheese sandwiches, he detailed the gamut of things he did to keep the house (and his spirits) at bay.
- Documentary‑style vlog: “Here’s how I spent my days with the virus.”
- Tips for staying productive while under the sofa.
- A reminder that we’re all in this together—just with a slightly different soundtrack.
Even after catching a case, Ghib managed to sneak in a light‑hearted take that reminded his followers that we’re not alone in this viral rollercoaster.
Finding out he had Covid-19
Ghib Ojisan’s Unexpected Health Alert
Within the first five seconds of the video, Ghib Ojisan declared:
“This is kind of frightening for me, but I think I might have Covid‑19,”
That quick confession was followed by a quick check‑in with the authorities:
Health Risk Warning
- The doctor had already issued a Health Risk Warning.
- He followed it up with an Antigen Rapid Test (ART).
The Results
- Result confirmed his suspect – yes, he was genuinely COVID‑positive.
- A quick but accurate test gave him the truth he feared.
In short, it’s a moment of honest, awkward self‑awareness that turns into a clear diagnosis, all wrapped up in a single snapshot of “first‑moment” honesty.
Sure thing! Could you share the article you’d like me to rewrite? That way I can help you turn it into something fresh and engaging.
72-hour self-isolation in his home gym
New COVID‑19 Isolation Rules: What You Need to Know
If your rapid antigen test comes back positive but you’re feeling fine, you’re still on the hook: a 72‑hour self‑isolation period is mandatory. After those three days, if your next test is negative, you’re free to ditch the mask and go back to normal.
On the other hand, if you keep testing positive, the rule is stricter. You’ll stay isolated until the seventh day from the moment you first got the positive result — basically a little more than a week of “stay‑home” time.
Ghib Ojisan’s “Home Gym” Life
It seems to be a common trend for people who hit the isolation step to turn their living rooms into personal fitness forts. Ghib Ojisan dubbed his sanctuary “Home Gym” and was ready to keep the good vibes flowing.
- Foldable table for meal prep and quick workouts
- Water bottle – hydration is key!
- Books – because reading keeps the mind engaged
- Laptop – zooming for the occasional virtual hang‑out
With everything set up, he was geared up to make the most out of a Sunday at home. Emotional resilience is the real workout, after all.
“Never had I imagined I would use [my gym] as an office, but it looks pretty cosy! I think I can survive here for three days,” he said with a chuckle.
While he was locked up in his gym, his meals were kindly provided for by his wife, who left the food outside his door so that the pair would not come into contact. 
What’s the Scoop?
To break the endless quiet, he threw together a quick Q&A about his situation.
Ask Away!
- “How’s your wife doing?” – A casual check‑in that made everyone smile.
- Chapter Two (the Whoa! Factor): Did she bump into the virus?
Life’s Twist & Turns
The glimmer of hope? Her test came back negative. But knowledge never stops living.
“Got a Whiff?”
He kept his cool but zeroed in on the caution meter: There’s always a tiny chance she could already be hosting the pesky bug.
The 72‑Hour Chill Plan
- Reasonably, the wife rolled out the 3‑day “self‑isolate” dress code.
- When you’re in lockdown, a good ‘C’ is a blessing and a fun emergency plan.
So, the duo’s got their game plan ready—no surprises, just a few extra days of staying “home” and sipping calming tea.
Cancelled plans and other inconveniences
If not for the unfortunate turn of events, Ghib Ojisan and his wife would have managed to celebrate Chinese New Year with his in-laws.
But thanks to Covid-19, that arrangement was completely off the table and the pair had to skip on the festivities.
Apart from that, Ghib Ojisan shared that his work timeline had been affected as well as he had to reschedule all his shoots and client work.
“It really affected my work schedule and my relationship with my in-laws, they’re scared of me now,” he said.
‘It really feels like I’m having a common cold’
Day Two in the Quarantine: Ghib Ojisan’s Update
After two days stuck at home, Ghib Ojisan surveys the situation—
- He’s still feeling all right and no signs of a major downturn.
- However, his throat is hinting at a slight uptick in discomfort.
“I’m still rocking the ‘completely fine’ vibe, but my mouth’s decided to be a bit more dramatic,” he remarked, giving us a dose of humor amidst the health chatter. It reminds us that even a minor cough can stir up a whole new level of drama in daily life.
“It feels like there is something here,” he elaborated while gesticulating towards the direction of his neck.
He also shared that he had phlegm, a cough, slight dizziness as well as a runny nose.
“It really feels like I’m having a common cold,” he concluded.
“I think a lot of people when they hear ‘Covid-19’, they will kind of get really scared,” Ghib Ojisan said.
However, he reassured his viewers that the actual experience is not as terrifying as people envision it to be.
“I’m fully vaccinated. I even got the booster. It should be fine, hopefully,” he said.
There was one concern on his mind though, and that was the lasting health effects, which he would only know after he has recovered from the virus.
“I’m just a bit worried if I get some kind of after effects that will stick with me forever,” he expressed.
Conclusions after seven days of isolation
So You’re the “7‑Day Wall‑Stuck” Hero?
Meet Ghib Ojisan, the guy who turned his quarantine into a full‑blown, 7‑day endurance test. He finally hit a negative on the last day—talk about a last‑minute comeback!
What Singapore Law Says (And Why It’s a Win for Anyone)
According to Singapore’s strict but surprisingly forgiving rules, if the countdown’s done — the moment you finish the week—you’re free to hit the streets again, even if your test says “yes, I’m still a bit of a virus.” That’s basically the government’s way of saying, “Enjoy your liberty, champ.”
Why Did He Cheer?
- Victory feel: nothing beats the high of “I finally made it.”
- Reflection time: few hours rumination mean he owns every moment of that lockdown.
- Story‑telling: Ghib wants the world to know who he is beyond the “Covid‑villain” label.
The Takeaway
Quarantine isn’t a life‑oriented tragedy; it’s a chance to practice patience, appreciate the simple thing of “making it into week 7,” and laugh at how tiny we can get the world’s attention for a few days. Ghib’s reflection is a reminder: keep walking, keep breathing, and if you’re ever in isolation again, make sure you have a good playlist and a strong stance on where you’ll exit from the virus emergency.
Ghib Ojisan’s Post‑COVID Plunge: The Real Struggles Behind the Sizzle
When people hear “COVID‑19,” their minds automatically zoom in on the virus’s physical havoc. Ghib Ojisan, the beloved YouTuber, flip‑the‑script on what he actually battled: a lonely, cut‑off life that left him emotionally exhausted.
The Isolation – Not the Illness
“It was very tough for me, especially in the initial stage where I had to isolate myself. I felt like I was going to go crazy,” he said straight‑up.He didn’t just talk in an emotional diary‑style; he painted the picture for us. Picture this: you’re thrust into a tiny room, no in‑person chats, no kitchen snatching a hand‑shake‑mash of advice. It’s a mental t-rex that claws at every peaceful corner.
Wife‑Side of the Story
He didn’t stop at his own woes—his wife? “Very, very stressed.” Ended up feeling Anie‑Alice type of marathon with no chocolate break. The anxiety loop was sweaty, and Ghib felt the tremors for her too.
Still On Cool‑Down
Even after his test came back clean, the “stay‑away” vibes linger. The in‑laws will keep their distance for the moment, just in case. Safety first, folks!
A Road Back? Not so Fast
“I’m Covid‑19 negative, but I feel like it might take a few more days or a few more weeks for me to get back my normal life.”The “post‑recovery” saga is real. He’s not revived that instantly; he’s detoxing from the emotional crash.
Other Influencers In The Mix
It’s not just Ghib. Count the overflow of social‑media stars who’ve taken the plunge:
And the acting world: Rui En, who paused, that famed “always hated suspense.” She admitted a weird relief—guess the only good thing about COVID is that it’s not a thriller.
“Got COVID nice, because I hate suspense,” she announced.
So yeah, the virus may have been the “what” everyone expects, but the real drama? Isolation & mental stress, the emotional roller coaster we’re all on cloud‑zero‑explanations of. The healing, returning to wrap‑up usual life? That’s still a length of a sitcom episode with a twist.
