This makes sense enough.


Nigerians in Wuhan,
We've said it times without numbers,
Please, get in touch with the Nigerian embassy over there. especially at this perilous times.


This is highly important and necessary.
There was a Corona thread from last week,
and it was mind blowing what some Nairalanders were typing about their brothers and sisters in China!
it was sickening!!


And this is another important issue.
We know how some of our people can lie, especially when it comes to forms filling.
And lying on other mundane issue.

May God continue to protect us and our families from this deadly virus.

Liar Mohammed stop your foolery, no one should be allowed to go to China or come out of China to Nigeria.

CDC report that's Nigerians and other black Africans are immune to the Covid 19

kristo123:


No one is immune at the moment.. there are cases of people not showing symptoms but test positive for the virus. These people fall into the category of super spreaders.

Kuficking:




Coronaviruses, which include some of the viruses responsible for the common cold and flu, can show something called seasonality — that is, they peak and wane depending on the season.

Many cold and flu viruses peak in winter, for example; the droplets sneezed and coughed out by people spread more easily in winter's cold dry air and when people are crowded inside together.

They then die down in warmer weather.

"When the season is warmer and more humid, the droplets transmitting the [flu virus] tend to fall out of the air more quickly, therefore limiting its transmission," explained Yap Boum, the Africa representative for Epicentre, the research arm of Doctors without Borders (MSF).

Tropical countries aren't immune from seasonality, with flu peaking in the dry season in countries like Cameroon, Boum told DW.

However, not all coronaviruses spread through respiratory droplets and Boum cautions that it is too early to tell if COVID-19 is transmitted in a similar fashion.

"We have no background information ... so we can't yet tell," he said.

However, he said, it still "might be more prudent for countries like South Africa, which will start heading into winter, to follow how the winter will affect or not the transmission of the novel coronavirus."  

'Doubt a big outbreak in Africa'

Epidemiologist Paul Hunter also emphasizes that the COVID-19 virus "hasn't been around long enough" to know if its transmission will be affected by a change in seasons.

But even if the coronavirus makes its way to Africa, Hunter doesn't believe the continent will be as hard hit as China.

kristo123:


Coronavirus (COVID -19) is highly contagious, it can spread through contact and it is airborne. Follow the news how an elderly lady infected over a hundred people in a church in South Korea.

True Africa is hot but Nigeria is densely populated. Imagine entering the same bus , going to church, going to school, using the same restaurant , going to the market, as a infected person who by the way may not be showing symptoms yet. Then go home to close relatives. Imagine.
