Nairalanders share their coronavirus experiences.

NubaVertigo:


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

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 believe i had this virus sometime early january. I was in Dubai for 9 days and returned on the 7th of January. Developed a cough and fever on the 9th and it progressively got worse. One morning, i coughed and blacked out!

Stayed home, self- medicated and got better after 3 weeks.

Egungun don taamo bus o

Thought I heard that Maurice iwuruwuru has found the cure.

They will never take caution as they believe their Roman white jesus will save their butts when they start dying by the thousands, and its only now that the government is closing churches, I pity this ignorant religious country

I will be watching and listening from here in my isolation island

Until then

I won't say a word

This, too, shall pass.

Live a healthy lifestyle !

Well, in matters like this, I usually don't fail to say my mind without fear nor favor. Now, without mincing words and without any atom of partiality, I wish to contribute in a way that no one will feel that I am being too emotional about this topic. The truth is that I have completely forgotten what I wanted to say......

I must commend lalasticlala for his positive attitude of recent as a mod, it's like Seun gave lalasticlala half salary last month for his useless,uneducative, provocative,irritating and childish snake threads.
Kudos to lalasticlala for changing his ways and giving we loyal nairalanders educative content's, Seun kindly double lalasticlala salary for this month [img]https://media1./images/99c8bf635606b021174924209be0aafb/tenor.gif?itemid=5730020[/img]

Hmm these threads aren't really necessary.

Hmmmm.. But Salford wasn't examined. This is serious o.

Maybe just avoiding any news on Corona at all is the best for some people, I understand. You are talking of something they said has killed over 8000 deaths, nawa

I knew it, this virus has been around for a while now!!!
Fuvcking chincos didn’t say nothing about it and I also heard they have a cure but they refused to share?? I don’t know if it’s true though

As many as believed and put thier trust in Almighty God
We will not be infected by this deadly virus

Dont let those aethist confuse you into thinking it's wrong to put your trust in God
They are already condemned, they do terrible things and have no hope
Just like satan, they don't want to go alone into hell

God is real, and He has powers

Hmmm

Grabs popcorn....

It is well.
Wash your hands,use hand santizers and face mask.
Avoid overcrowded place and don't panic.

The best way to stay safe is by maintaining a very good personal hygiene. Boost your immune system
HOW CAN I BOOST MY IMMUNE SYSTEM

Drink less alcohol. ...

Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, which will provide your body with the nutrients your immune system needs. ...

Consider probiotics. ...

Go for the garlic

God will deliver by us.

The panic being spread on the Nigerian cyberspace about corona virus is simply ridiculous

How did the world overcome Spanish influenza? Na the same way we go take overcome coronavirus.

If people as handsome and sexy as Idris Elba could contract this virus, we ugly baboons are fúcked

One thing must kill a man

Which is death.

Online corona

All we need do is to apply caution......our health system is wack .......and if it's serious here......it will be very disastrous because our system can't handle it.

Bullshit

May what happened in 1347 never repeat itself...
