There are disease outbreaks everytimes, even less now than b4, bubonic plague in 1300s, ebola in 2014 etc
Its not a sign of anybody coming back or going away
Just means that the virus or bbacteria or anything that causes the disease has found a way to spread faster and that the conditions for this spread have been met especially dirty environment and low personal hygiene amongst a large group or large groups of ppl

Seeing

Meningitis Outbreak; Here’s how to prevent spread of the contagious disease .

Following the recent outbreak of Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM) in Nigeria, about 328 deaths have been recorded so far according to the Federal Ministry of Health.

Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM) is most often caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitides. Bacterial meningitis is an infection of the meninges, the thin covering of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms of the disease include stiff neck, high fever, rash, headache, vomiting, and confusion.

The report from the Health Ministry indicated that 90 local government areas across 16 States including Lagos, Osun, Zamfara, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Nasarawa, Jigawa, FCT, Gombe, Taraba, Yobe, Cross Rivers, and Plateau; to have been affected with the epidemic.

According to statistics from the Ministry, 2524 people have been affected across the states and131 samples confirmed in the laboratory with majority as meningitides type C.

As a result of the contagious nature of the disease, it is pertinent to educate Mainlanders on the necessary measures to take to prevent its spread.

While the disease can cured if presented early, a statement released by Boade Akinola, Director Media and Public Relations of the Ministry advised that citizens should endeavor to do the following to prevent spread of the disease.

• Avoidance of overcrowding
• Sleeping in well ventilated places
• Avoidance of close and prolonged contact with cases
• Proper disposal of respiratory and throat secretions
• Strict observance of hand hygiene
• Reduction in sharing utensils
• Avoidance of self medication
• Reduction in hand shaking, kissing or medical intervention such as mouth resuscitation
• Usage of relevant stereotype vaccination for meningococcal

in addition to the above is chemoprophylaxis:
ciprofloxacin 500mg start only or Rifampicin 600mg start only.

Meningitis has been around for quite a while. It usually occurs during the hot and humid season. I remember when I was growing up in Kaduna in the 80s', we were lined up and vaccinated within 24-48 hrs of an outbreak.

I wonder what has changed.
