Hmm

The pandemic is real my people, stock your homes with as much food items you can afford. Government would be forced to close down markets, shopping malls in the coming weeks. Stay safe.

This is the time to be proactive!

A stictch in time saves nine!

Obedience is better than sacrifice!

The same country that seriously criticized Nigeria for shutting down her borders

Theirs has gotten to the visual stage, we are still in Covid-19 audio stage down here.

They are not the first to record Corona death case, neither are they the first to close their borders.

So I don't care! And I won't pretend like I care.

May the Lord heal the land

There is a difference between trade border and travel border but you Buharist can't know that

Damn

very sad

All these shutting downs would help people's brains get formatted.

By the time corona is done, everyone will remain in sanity.

Your CD4 immune system counts now. The strongest survives.

I observed something yesterday : I took a colourless nylon and placed it closer to my mouth. I talk for about 15 seconds, then I observed that steam rested on the surface of the nylon.

If Coronavirus can be gotten through droplet, then it is possible it could be passed to someone else through talking too close to the person.

Imagine a person talking too close to you, as he talks,invisible steam emanates from his mouth. You that is closer will breath it, which may contain the virus.

Ever wondered why it spread globally.

Social distance is a major key to curbing this virus.

why not close it since? people take things seriously after someone has died.
