Please be careful how you comment on health matters you are not sure about.

Some covid-19 patients do not need serious intervention. Their symptoms may remain mild while in treatment centre. They are supported until they return negative results. If not kept in care centre, they might go about spreading the disease.

But as cases increase, there might be only space for those with serious symptoms and those no symptoms or only mild ones (though infectious) may be turned away. Such people may see your comment above and be swayed that there is no covid-19 after all. They may go about and God forbid, spread it to you, your loved ones or friends. It's that serious.

Vaccines don't cure infections. They prevent in two ways mostly: to ensure the pathogen is eaten up upon entering the body so it cannot grow or replicate enough to cause infection or even if it does cause infection, it will be mild and the body can later overcome it.
In covid-19 vaccination, we cannot be sure yet if everyone or some vaccinated does not get infected at all or if they do get infected if their viral load goes high enough to the point they can still be infectious. Also if it's same for all the variants known so far.

These can only be confirmed in the months ahead when many enough people have received their two doses.

You have nothing to loose if u play by the rules.

what's the point daring your Government when after making noise, you won't do anything if a lock down is imposed or you enjoyed the last lock down? I didn't.

let's say Covid-19 in Nigeria is fake as many people believe. many of us(including me) don't trust those in power agreed.

but don't you think that those in power can deliberately be giving high numbers because nigerians are deliberately refusing to play by the rules?

what's so difficult in wearing a nose mask?

sometimes we keep giving the Government an opportunity to punish us.

IBEG I NO WANT ANOTHER LICK DOWN. WE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN AT HOME SINCE FEBRUARY HABA NA

This is terrible

The country needs to be shut for 2 weeks and not just the airspace. Every single places needs to be shut down.

Nigerians are innately lawless, so they can't be depended on to obey Covid-19 laws. Those who tested positive won't publicly announce it so that those who came in contact with them will isolate. And who know that they came in contact with someone who tested positive will use God name to do evil. They will start proclaiming foolish proclamation...... It's not my portion. Nigerians are lawless.

Shut down this motherfuc.ker country.
