It's viral disease highly transmitted well like most viruses you need to get vaccine/jab so as to bolster a defensive mechanism to deter devious attacks on other delicate organelles of the body likes of kidneys, menges /urope, ubuchopho even in the bones, just like a myriad viral disease s do not have a cure, only injection of a cultured virus sezvaitwa ku Covid uko Zvechimguru pahuro its just a myth Endai munorapwa, cause even if you, don't go the clinic, swell subsides but you become a carrier and can spread to people un vaccined and would be vulnerable to attack of some your functional organs, And So Go to the clinic and get tested
