NCDC. Nobody does it better. America can come here and take some notes. What we lack in healthcare facilities we are surplus in ideas and strategies. This is what U.S should have been doing since. How will people come out of cruise ship and you will just release all of them to infect others. If they don't show symptoms at least they should limit the places they are visiting for the 14 days.

Good advice.

If you want to test whether you have it and will infect family members, see below.

The mod that banned me should self isolate. Now the whole world knows how useless buhari government is. Over here in the Carribbeans the government declared national emergency and closed down schools, offices for 14 days with just one case reported. Nigerian government didn't nothing but hogwashed the media with an Italian covid-19 carrier.

Please, we all need to be educated more on this virus. Cause it seems it has spread more than what we are being told. Here are some advices from a professor

I am not doubting the existence of this virus
But I think the drastic measures are far more over reactions
What's alarming is these measures are employed throughout the world making it the first time we are closer to making religions unlawful

This is the beginning of the end
The new world is shaping up
Believe it or not

Caution has to be taken. I'm in the US; I'm going to be honest I caught it. It's no joke and is very strong. I had the shortness of breath, I've never had trouble breathing all my life, but all of a sudden my breathing was heavy and slow and it felt like I was only taking in about 25% of my normal Oxygen intake. I had to take lots of home remedies as they temporarily let the symptoms subside. Who knows how much of my breathing would have been eliminated otherwise. Someone with asthma = dead. I also had muscle pain around my body and intense chest pain in my chest. It started with a concentrated sore throat, and at some point I just started feeling phlegm drop down my throat. Luckily for me, I can connect to my job from home. At the end of January, I know someone who traveled from Hong Kong, and arrived with a nasty cough and was under bed rest. I attended an event in their apartment for about 3 hours. This is when the news had just broke out and only Wuhan's Hubei province was under quarantine so nobody thought much of it.. It's very serious, and even for those that will get past it, they will cause harm for others that are either old, have asthma, sickle cell anemia, etc etc... not to be taken lightly, it's not conspiracy, it's a real contagious virus. I understand where you're coming from where you are only hearing about it but can't see any results, but there is no doubt when you catch it

Self-isolation in Nigeria?, when majority of our citizens depend on petty trading, hawking, and touting to make a living. Some hustlers, clearing agents at NAHCO and Apapa ports cannot afford Self-isolation, talk less of market men/women at mile 12.

I believe the virus has been in North America (Canada/US/Mexico) for a while Dec/Jan I think. The Chinese government kept it secret for a longtime. I am in Canada, and I had a similar experience but mine was shortlived (maybe in a space of 2 weeks). I had symptoms on maybe 4 to 7 days in between the two weeks. The symptoms were not consistent too so it makes it more confusing. Like heavy breathing on day 1, fever on day 3, sore throat on day 7. They dissapear quickly just as they came. The symptoms occured separately and not together. Told my wife and she thought I was hallucinating or something.

1st symptoms: I suddenly woke up from sleep around 2am-ish and found myself breathing heavily. If I was a sound sleeper, I probably won't even wake up or notice. I almost went back to sleep immediately and up till today, that experience was still strange to me. This was sometimes around late February.

symptoms 2: I had a few chills (like very mild fever) in between. Just for a night or two.

symptom 3: I later developed a sore throat few days after. I have rarely have a sore throat. The sore throat is now gone after I started gaggling with hot water.

Till date, I am still confused if it was just a cold or the covid. The fever was very mild, probably the mildest I have experienced, the sore throat wasn't terrible bad too. Just felt like someone was pulling my throat muscle. Never had the cough.

A work colleage came from Vegas sometimes on the 22 of February. could be her that brought the virus. No one knows. She was sick for a while too and are husband sick too. She felt all she had was a cold.

Interestingly, some people, wont even know they had it. They would just think they had a cold or a mild flu. It's when it gets into the body of the elderly or those with serious underlying condition that it causes issues.
Kids may hardly notice it and won't probably show symptoms.

I agree. With all the rapid intertravel in today's time, it has definitely been around for a while. There is a cnn youtube video where one guy in Georgia state caught it and was turned away from the hospital because they hadn't yet got coronavirus test equipement, so he went back to his church and sung in his choir and everything, his wife is a flight attendant and a few others in the choir now have it

With the way the virus gives different symptoms in different people, it's very easy to believe that it could be manmade.

The fact that Buhari has not addressed the nation shows how incompetent he is. It is the minister of health we see all the time. The same attitude he showed towards the fulani herdsmen situation till It got worse. Other leaders of the world are reassuring their citizens and informing them about what they are doing. The dummy we have as president is playing silent game with us. The truth is, we dont have what it takes to manage this epidemic should it spiral out of control in Nigeria. Imagine washing your hands regularly and still caught the virus, somehow we are still going to touch something, forget to wash and then touch our face.
