Lexusgs430: The virus obviously went through the population in Nigeria for instance, did what it could to those whom it could affect, and the rest went on with life. Apart from what happened in Kano for a while, there were no generally noticeable excess deaths and so the people not unreasonably concluded that Covid na scam and went on with their lives and destroyed economy. |

Lexusgs430: I think what saved African is the excessive consumption of anti-malaria medicine ..... we’ve been struggling with malaria from birth and most of our immune system would have been strengthened by these anti- malaria medication thereby making our system resistant to COVID-19 with us knowing..... That’s the only explanation why we never die finish for COVID-19 for Africa ...... |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by marylandcakes: 8:28am On Nov 27, 2020 |
LagosismyHome: Poor people tend to live in close proximity to one another, that’s one school of thought. I’m surprised no one has mentioned that this vaccine is being tested on the poor people of Brazil mainly. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 8:31am On Nov 27, 2020 |
marylandcakes: When you talk of social distancing. ..... then living in close proximity would make the virus flourish but yet no high numbers in Africa |

Lexusgs430: I’m sure you are aware if you have underlying medical conditions increases you chance to die once the virus hit you ?. .. If you don’t practice good hygiene even god no go fit save u from disease hope you know too ? .. Do you know that everything individual has a different body system ...... You can tell us why you think Africa isn’t as affected as the rest of the world ...lol.... no call poverty before I go send ikorodu boys come collect COVID-19 palliatives from your house .... |

marylandcakes:My sister you hear the number of deaths in countries like Brazil, Mexico, India and co ?...

Lexusgs430: I'm having a hard time knowing why this narrative is being pushed around in the UK. The site below shows that BME make up less than 11% on average of the total key workers across the UK across the key worker areas. Site - https://www.health.org.uk/chart/black-and-minority-ethnic-workers-make-up-a-disproportionately-large-share-of-key-worker The ONS also shows that white ethnic group still makes over 80% of the UK's population which would mean majority status across most of the workforce in most occupations excluding those that majorly serve minority ethnic groups. ONS - https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/ethnicity/articles/ethnicityandnationalidentityinenglandandwales/2012-12-11 Is there a reason why this narrative of BAME making up the bulk of NHS key workers is being pushed around? Even the NHS site has white ethnic group making almost 80% of its workforce (excluding care and GPs in training - the 'trust jobs') Site - https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/workforce-and-business/workforce-diversity/nhs-workforce/latest 1 Like |

Yakeeboy: Well, different strokes for different folks. There are numerous advantages when your spouse bears a different last name from you here in the UK and if you are a business person. You both are distinct individuals to any client thus creating that professional outlook. As the marriage certificate don show say A & B are now H&W and you both have and continue to have 'koinonia' along with the usual newspaper change and affidavit, the usual admonition is to let her be - use it to your advantage. 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Chukwuka16: 10:19am On Nov 27, 2020 |
LagosismyHome: I'm suspecting Labour being behind this narrative since they are migrant friendly. Yes, the bulk of low level staff in the key worker sectors MAY have a disproportionately higher level of BAME staff but overall na 'oyinbo' still get their country. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 10:21am On Nov 27, 2020 |
Chukwuka16: What I can think about is maybe at the start of the covid. A lot of white took off and took time off. While Bame felt it more money to their pocket and either were taking more shifts in the frontline or been forced by their supervisors to take these shift even without adequate PPE |

LagosismyHome: Ah, that would make sense. Of course the white folks have all the support they can need while most BAME staff have to battle with No Recourse to Public Fund. Unfortunately, we have also had very high death rates among the BAME group too. |
