Fire brigade approach...... what they should have done initially they are just rushing to do it after we've had 22 confirm cases.

Only God knows the number of persons walking around with the virus already.

Pls guys, let's refrain from putting our hands into our eyes, nose and mouth anyhow. clean ur hands regularly with soap and water; and prioritize the use of disinfectants both at home and public places. Also go out with ur handkerchief to cover ur mouth in the public and most importantly, always distant urself from anyone exhibiting flu like symptoms.

If u can't do these for urself, do it for ur immediate friends and family and start now coz I believe there are more cases than reported already

When it started instead of African governments to do the right thing they were busy forming nonsense... Forgetting that if it had happened the other way round western nations wouldn't even think twice before shutting their borders on us and restricting Air travels.

The corona excuse is getting annoying o... more people use and mix in cars (public and private) than on trains.

Since we are all being mad, all intimate relationships will soon be suspended as well

What's tha business?
