sotall:I agree with you also. My whole family was down 3 weeks ago with similar symptoms you described. It started with my 6 years old daughter coughing profusely and running high temperature, my wife took her to a nearby nurse for malaria treatment which was quinine based. The next day, my wife too started coughing also, her own was even more serious with phlegm, she too went for the full course of quinine treatment, the next day my 8 years old boy and I came down with high fever, he had dry cough while I didn't, but had some throat discomfort. I went to do malaria and typhoid test for us both. The result were positive for thyroid and negative for malaria, so I bought strong antibiotics for us both. My son and little daughter were so sick that I was becoming afraid, they could not eat for 3 days. I had to buy 2 big bottles of lucozade everyday for three days to provide energy (glucose). I also put my daughter on antibiotics. Two days later, my eldest 12 year old started his own. I also took him for test and it was thyroid, so I also bought him antibiotics. By this time, I had almost spent 30,000 on drugs, tests and supplements. When we started suspecting something more sinister, my wife went to buy lime, ginger, and garlic. Luckily I had a big bottle of honey at home. The lime was fücking expensive, 1 was N500. My wife bought 10 for 5000. So I would squeeze the lime, grate the ginger add honey with some water. I warmed the broth, not boil and gave it to the whole family to drink, once in the morning and once at night. After about 5 days, we were all getting better. We are all much better now, but not 100%. It was hardest on my wife, she would cough all night, although the cough has almost gone. Now she sleeps much better. To be honest, I was really scared. I was even scared of going to the hospital at this time, because to me hospitals are ground zero for this coronavirus. The hospitals are not adequately disinfected and with lots of suspected infected patients coming in and out, the chances of catching the virus in hospitals are quite high. 3 Likes |

Around early March, I had an encounter with a woman with her husband as they came into my office to tell me how she has been sick with cough. Later that evening, I started feeling symptoms of cough in my throat. When I got home, I drank hot water cuz that's mainly what I use any time I suspect cough in infection. Note: I have done several research in the lab with bacteria and most times, I infect myself & mostly drink hot water to distrupt the multiplication of the bacteria in my throat before it causes further infection. For 3 days, I was having intermittent dry cough without any production of sputum; still taking the hot water without any improvement. Then on the 4th day, I started feeling feverish as I woke up. Then it was as if my heart was jumping out (don't know how to describe the feeling). One of my friends was celebrating the new car he bought, so we went to one joint to take pepper soup with some drinks. In my own observation, she's the best in Abuja as any time we want to eat fish paper soup, that joint is our destination as the woman has special way of cooking the cat fish with spices such as garlic, ginger & hot peper. We ate fish o from noon to evening that day. After that get together, my throat got cleared, the dried cough stopped, fever stopped, except for my heart which I earlier said as if it wanted to jump out. Gradually, the heart jumping feeling stopped after some days. Some times, I ask if it could be Covid-19. My take: 1. Some may come in contact with cariers and not contract it. 2. Some would contract it and show mild or no symptoms 3. Some would contract the disease and be terribly sick but survive 4. Some would contract it and die 2 Likes |

Most of what you highlighted is true. However. I would like to call to your attention the fact that the antimalarial Chloroquine has been shown as effective against the coronavirus. So, as in philosophy, is it true treatment if it works & the reason the medicine was taken was not present but the subject was cured.... Angelfrost: |
Re: How I Survived A Super Contagious Viral Infection by litaninja(m): 4:08am On Apr 10, 2020 |
No, the NCDC is not. The NCDC is doing at a larger scale, for free, in a more scientific manner, the exact same thing the OPs wife did for him. Managing the infected, recording them, gathering information about the intection, sharing with the WHO & collaborating with them to fond a cure/vaccine. The op states that from his estimates, he must have infected 20 other people. If the NCDC managed that, the number would not be that high. They are working to CONTROL the spread by isolating those infected. Angelfrost: |

Lol. You're right....& you're also wrong. The group of corona viruses have existed for a while now. They have similar symptoms and while it is unlikely there was a resurgence of any of the previously know infections, it cannot be ruled out. Look up the symptoms of SARs for example. Not police SARS o..... proffemi: |

NCDC has been overwhelmed, Nigerians though refuse to sit at home by themselves. A simple rule of thumb, if you feel unwell stay at home and visitors too should stay away. |

kingi777:You can't contract disease in a day and start showing symptoms minutes after you are exposed to infection. Get your fact right |
Re: How I Survived A Super Contagious Viral Infection by kingi777: 7:24am On Apr 10, 2020 |
Acmepreneur:I can't tell if it was the woman I met on that day that caused the infection or prior exposure. You know when you want to come down with cough, you start feeling from your throat. So it's not as if I started coughing on the first day. |

Op please can can the following be ascertain I feel it can help: The genotype of your wife who had it but not down with it .And the genotype of your sister and the wife to your neighbor who never contacted at all. I am not a scientist but may be knowing their genotype could help to know if a certain genotype are resistant to this viral infection.This might help our scientist/doctor to possible treat this covid-19 |

Flier: China's Covid-19 index case was reported on December 12, 2019 and there is every likelihood the pandemic started earlier than the reported case. China only reported to WHO on December 31, 2019 and didn't allow WHO entry to investigate until about two weeks later. |

sotall: If that Virus truly exist, Your assertion Is kinda true. The advantage Nigerians has Is a large percentage are Immune to this Virus. But It will definitely attack someone and there will be symptoms. Most likely, Someone would treat this symptoms as malaria, fever, cough and the symptoms will disappear In no time.. |

Funny enough I had the exact sickness and the exact symptoms of the OP last month. I was bombarded with strong antibiotic injection. I was losing my senses. I thought I would die. I hard a very dry cough. I thought I had Corona Virus. The fever was extreme. The fear of having Corona made matter worst. It got to a point I was having a little breathing problem but not severe. See the fear of having Corona kill faster than the virus itself. When I started getting better I made a herbal tea with ginger, garlic, tumeric, lime and pineapple. I boiled everything and still drinking till today. It's only by God's grace that I am alive today. I forgot to mention that I live in Lagos. 1 Like |

I had similar symptoms too same time January 3-16 this year. And 2 colleagues too at the same time. The fear then was Lassa Fever. I doubt it is Corona though. But I guess something was flying around that January that we were not aware of. 2 Likes |

Thank God for your life, I believe some set of people might actually have been systematically and strategically spreading the virus by infecting public places before the ones from Abroad came in to Nigeria. |
