Please tell us more about this. This is no time for secrecy sir. Were you tested and had Covid-19? Did you have symptoms? What were the symptoms and were they mild or severe? How long did the symptoms last? Were you hospitalised or you self-quarantined?

From the way things are going, some patients have symptoms, seem to improve and suddenly worsen. Even those without known underlying conditions.

you guys are mixing it up..... u can't catch flu like symptoms of corona in this hot weather in Africa unless u av contact with persons who lives in the affected areas or u go there yourself.

what you av is the common fever of the tropics either from malaria, typhoid or heat stroke n stress.

the virus would attack ur respiratory organs first after lowering your immune system. the fever you experience is your immune overworking. (technical)

bottom line get exposed to an Italian with d virus gangan and u will know wasup!

observations from Europe medical experts says young ppl with healthy lifestyle may not show symptoms or av mild symptoms but still be carriers and infectious

recovery is similar to cases of fever lessening cos it's an immune issue and it repairs itself. but if a vaccine or cure is found it will kill d virus without d immune fighting it.

The panic is huge and the awareness is low...educate people more on the virus and how to stay safe

but we av no medical guide or extract from Africa. majority of the guide and medical testimonies are from Europe, don't bother reading or listening to CGTN.....

British are doing a fine job (John Hopkins via BBC )

Trump is missing a large part of the story cos he's somewhat an invincible guy... guys are dying n it's no time for his style. so the states are using economy to fight a medical prob.

Africa ..... trash and garbage, by now they don't even know if the virus is here or it s the ever present malaria

At a time when countries all over the world are combating the COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation is also at its peak with myriads of hoaxes and fake news being shared around.

Series of fake news have been spread about the casualty figures, mode of treatment, cure and public figures who contracted the respiratory disease.

However, POLITICS NIGERIA, in its support for accountability media rooted in verification, has dispelled rumours through publishing consistent fact checks.

Recently, there are reports that a COVID-19 patient died in Omole Estate, one of the major estates in Ikeja, Lagos State capital.

This online newspaper, however, made efforts to confirm the veracity of such information.

CLAIM: A report published on Ladunliadinews, dated April 3, stated that some residents claim a woman has died of coronavirus in Omole Estate.

https://www.ladunliadinews.com/2020/04/residents-claim-woman-has-died-of.html?m=1

The platform quoted Starconnectmedia.com, which earlier published something similar on Thursday. Starconnect claimed it was a suspected case.

"The incident, we gathered occurred in Omole Estate Phase II, which extends into Olowoira, Lagos. The patient, we gathered became very sick, exhibiting symptoms noted for the COVID-19 pandemic and was taken to the Primary Health Centre in the area but when there was no ambulance from the Nigerian Centre for Disease Contro, (NCDC) and the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS) to evacuate her to the Infectious Disease Centre, Yaba, she was returned to her residence in a tricycle where she eventually died.

"In the Memo to residents, Chairman, Omole Phase II, Mr Bamidele Lanisa noted that many people could have come into contact with the patient, stressing that the risk of transmission is real in the neighbourhood.

“We advise residents to please stay in their houses and refrain from unnecessarily going about. Please safe. We advise a total stay at home for now”, Starconnectmedia quoted the Chairman.

Nevertheless, other media platforms had reported the same, attributing the story to starconnect.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2020/04/03/coronavirus-suspect-dies-in-omole-lagos/amp/

VERIFICATION: Findings by this paper showed that an aged woman died in Olowora on Wednesday. Olowora is a downtown area, which according to Google map, is 9 minutes drive from the estate.

Also, in the report published by Starconnect, no resident was reached out to.

Meanwhile, when our correspondent contacted some occupants of the estate on Friday, they said they were not aware of the incident.

Farotade Henry, a resident made it known that the information was fake.

He noted that the chairman of the estate had already debunked it.

According to the information passed across to the occupants, which was obtained by POLITICS NIGERIA, the deceased woman in question was already aged and she has been sick for more than a year.

"Health officers and COVID -19 team from the LG and LASG has fully investigated the case and reported that the patient was not tested, thus Coronavirus is not confirmed. Be as it may please let's all be aware that Coronavirus is real. It is very important we all observe all the precautionary measures put in place by relevant authorities such as; Stay at home, observe social distancing, wash your hand with soap and water regularly." Mr Lanisa wrote.

Moreso, official data has it that Nigeria recorded its first COVID-19 death in a 67-year-old male and the second death was recorded four days ago.

None could be traced to the deceased woman who died two days ago.

However, the spokesperson of the NCDC refused to respond to calls and text messages from POLITICS NIGERIA to get an official response to the claim.

VERDICT: The CLAIM that a COVID-19 patient DIED in Omole Estate is FALSE.

https://politicsnigeria.com/fact-check-did-covid-19-patient-die-in-omole-estate/

Your Verdict is also wrong because the woman was never tested and NCDC has not established it's position.

Well, not all young people living a healthy lifestyle are healthy. Considering that up to 5% may succumb, the unhealthy that live healthily become important. Some have motor neuron, auto-immune and other conditions. Asthma, Cystic fibrosis and Sickle cell disease are common in young people in some places.

A child of 13 who had psoriasis died of Covid-19 in Spain. One would suspect that he probably used immune-suppressing drugs to treat it.

If by chance one has antibodies against a somewhat similar virus, and the body starts to attack covid, but sadly the pattern is not close enough to attack it effectively, the immune system could go into overdrive trying to do the job. It then affect vital organs in possibly in unsustainable and lethal way.

No scientific evidence, research are still ongoing regarding the novel Coronavirus. Anybody that tells you that is simply assuming. There are 3 types of coronavirus and Covid 19 is the newest and that's why it's called novel.

1. Severe acute respiratory syndrome - SARs
2. Middle East respiratory syndrome - MERs
3. Novel coronavirus - Covid 19

Competition of bloggers. One blogger disclaiming the report of another blogger.

These bloggers need to be shut down during this period. The government should let only reputable media houses handle the coverage.
