Most people commenting here do not even have any idea about what a nursing home is because they have never seen or been to one before.
These are places were in most cases very fragile, vulnerable, sick and old people are cared for. Majority of them are even hospice patients, meaning that they have been given a specific period to expire.
In most of those facilities, all sorts of life support, ventilation equipments and artificial gastric feeding tubes are commonly used by the residents. Their immune system are often compromised and requires uttermost care.
The truth is, such individuals on a normal situation wouldn’t survive 24 hours in Nigeria.
Those are the one readily affected by any opportunistic disease.
It is ignorance to compare the environment and circumstances in US to Nigeria. Such individuals in Nigeria can only be found in the graves.

Why did you bother explaining?

Most members of this forum are relatively unintelligent. Hence I usually don't bother to waste my time to enlighten any of them

Over 12,000 people have died in the US because of flu. America has a greater health concern than Coronavirus right now

And this is more infectious than the flu with a higher death rate than the flu. Ever hear of exponential growth?

How do you think it gets into the body to attack the respiratory system?




Errmm, it's majorly airborne smiley (droplets from sneezes, Coughs of infected folks when inhaled and any means through which it can get directly into the human system. I don't think it penetrates the skin directly to the blood streams, but, who knows?

So far, every death from novel coronavirus in the United States has been in Washington state.

FTC!
I dedicate this FTC to the expectation the SC reverses that embarrassment of a judgement in Imo state.

But if the judgment is let stand, two things:
(1) U can no longer tell Nigerians that lying and cheating does not pay when they can see for themselves that the highest court in the land rewards blatant cheating and forgery.
(2) By the precedent set there, any candidate able to obtain INEC documents (usually ruling party candidates) can write any result they wish and the Supreme Court must accept those results no matter how fraudulent or defective they may be, inevitably leading to a one-party country
Lol, you are already preparing for your loss. I decided not to respond to your previous mention the other day until SC decides today.

Anticipate that they make reference to Bayelsa state judgment where they said they must be an end to litigation.

No doubt, you obviously have issues with complex, try manage it, where necessary, visit consultants in psychology.

A single reported case in Nigeria has been reportedly addressed while death toll in your infallible US is on the increase, yet your pity goes to African countries.

If the case of US where to be for Nigeria, beings like you (out of complex) would have announced to the whole world how inefficiency was responsible. Now, it is about your god country, and it is not a case of inefficiency but African countries working round the clock to prevent it are the same countries your pity goes to. Smh. undecided
You said it all. The way many people think in Nigeria these days is just appalling.

Saudi Arabia is hotter than Nigeria yet the disease is thriving there so I think it has something to do with our skin, maybe the melanin resist it sort of.

It's too early to say blacks are immune to it. The virus has an incubation period of two weeks, so it's only logical to give it time

21 confirmed case and 5 have recovered.

There is also a rumour going round that they are downplaying it too.

That's UAE naa, not Saudi Arabia. Moreover given that some of it's cities are hot spot for tourists (Abu Dhabi, Dubai) it's no surprise UAE has so many cases.

As of yesterday, S/Arabia has just one confirmed case.

Higher death rate than flu? Hope you know the Corona virus kills just about 1% of it's victims ( could be lower)

Corona is not a black man's disease. Even if a black man tests positive he will survive it.

I think there is a thing in our gene that makes us resistant to Corona.

Not really, no. The virus has been shown to kill elderly people with underlying medical conditions, if people under that category dies, it'll be nobody's fault.

Check here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Which currently rates it at 6%. Mortality for flu is less than 1%. Even cautious estimates for COVID-19 are at 2%.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/
Mortality Rate as of Feb. 20 in China (findings from the Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission)
The Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission published on Feb. 28 by WHO [12] is based on 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases. The report notes that "The Joint Mission acknowledges the known challenges and biases of reporting crude CFR early in an epidemic" (see also our discussion on: How to calculate the mortality rate during an outbreak). Here are its findings on Case Fatality Ratio, or CFR (the mortality rate):

"As of 20 February, 2,114 of the 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases have died (crude fatality ratio [CFR: 3.8%) (note: at least some of whom were identified using a case definition that included pulmonary disease).

The overall CFR varies by location and intensity of transmission (i.e. 5.8% in Wuhan vs. 0.7% in other areas in China).

In China, the overall CFR was higher in the early stages of the outbreak (17.3% for cases with symptom onset from 1-10 January) and has reduced over time to 0.7% for patients with symptom onset after 1 February. " [12]
