How Covid-19 Compares To Malaria And Hiv In Nigeria And The Western World by Gazelle22: 6:29am On Apr 04, 2020
COVID-19: In Nigeria, death rate is less than 1 per day. This is about the same rate for malaria in the western world.

MALARIA: In Nigeria, average death rate is over 800 per day, that is 300,000 annually. This is about the same rate for Covid-19 in the western world.

HIV/AIDS: In Nigeria, average death rate is over 550 per day, that 215,000 annually. This is about the same rate for Covid-19 in the western world.

Now, can you see a misplaced priority here?

A state of emergency should rather be declared on malaria than on COVID-19 as Garba Shehu rightly said.

Lol, just because u decide to chook mouth for matter no mean say u contribute anything.

Malaria kills people in Africa because they are not privileged to get a proper medical care and that happens mostly in the north.

For covid19, having access to the hospital doesn't guarantee ur survival.

If u have malaria, there are drugs you could take to get treatment, whereas there is no vaccine to covid19 and if u got the virus, ur only hope is ur immune system.

Malaria is neither a bacteria nor virus, it is cursed by a parasite known as plasmidium and could be cured, whereas covid19 is a virus and last time I checked, no virus, not even one has a cure, the highest they can get is containment/treatment.

If u have AC in ur house, u won't have problem of mosquitoes, whereas for covid19, even if u live in a refrigerator, immediately u get in contact with a carrier of the virus, u automatically get the virus.

Covid19 is highly contagious, humans commute, we talk, we shake etc, malaria is not as contagious as covid19.
U can't compare the both. Covid19 is far much more scary than a pitiable malaria

For now hunger and malaria is worse than coronavirus.. That is a fact.. Both kills more people while there is a cure!!. The reason for the hullabaloo about coronavirus is that it affects both the rich and the poor, so it can't be ignored!!. Yes, corona is humbling everybody now.. Agreed, but to say it is worse than malaria is to distort history.. The mortality rate of malaria is huge.. Stay safe!

There is no treatment to covid19, that should scare u more.

Mosquitoes are mostly in rural areas where there is stagnant water and dirty surroundings.

Covid19 could be anywhere and everywhere.

U can have malaria and cure urself with just N2,000.

Covid19 doesn't respect money, wen it comes u panic and ur only hope is ur immune system
