COVID-19: Why The Kano Index Case Must Go To Jail-- The Moving Story by farem: 7:42pm On Apr 16, 2020 |
A very irresponsible and wicked Covid-19 patient knew his status, hid it from family, friends and associates and went on a spreading spree in Kano. God will judge him and many like him who have put us all in harm’s way. THE STORY “I wanted to be silent about this. But since it's already on Radio and TV stations, ..and the concerns about my health by many who have reached out, ...it has become imperative for me to tell my COVID-19 mileu. Here's the story... One Alhaji BZ (not real names initials) came to our hospital. He had COVID-19. Unknown to us all. While evaluating him, he was asked, "How can we help you sir?" He replied, "I've been having fever and general body weakness. Please admit me." Inquired, "For how long now?" He replied "For some days? More questions, "Do you have cough, breathlessness or palpitations?" Alhaji BZ replied, "No", I don't have any of that." Many other medical questions were asked and documented. Furthermore, "Did you travel recently?" He denied, "No." He was further evaluated, examined and admitted into a private room upstairs on Friday evening. He had contact with two doctors (my boss and I), three nurses and one non-medical staff. It was unknown to us that he had travelled to Germany, the US before returning to my resident state Via Abuja travelling by road . While travelling by road he stayed briefly in Kaduna before arriving to my resident state on the 25th March, 2020. He lied about all these travel history to us. He also lied about the pertinent Coronavirus symptoms, ..breathlessness and cough. He also hid the fact that he had been to several medical outlets since his return to the state. And importantly, he hid the fact that that his samples were taken by NCDC for COVID-19 testing. Ofcourse he denied and lied about all the above in order for him to have our medical care. Putting us all and many others at high risk of the novel pandemic. We also learnt that during his illness before coming to us, he was attending Friday Mosque prayers, naming ceremonies and other gatherings. While on admission in our facility, a day after admission being a Saturday, we had a Nollywood-like dramatic entrance into our facility by health officials with massive Police presence. The major road around our hospital was blocked and made a Security Restricted area. He was the index case in the state, ...reason for this. The officials told us that we had a man in our facility that just tested positive for COVID-19. Luckily, my boss, a reknown Neurosurgeon, who was still in theatre while rounding up a delicate Spinal Cord Pedicle Screw Fixation + Laminectomy surgery had to be told. He derobed. And met the officials. There was an order from the Governor of the state to lock down the hospital immediately to prevent further spread. Alh BZ was whisked away to a quarantine centre outskirt of the state. We were placed on isolation too in our hospital facility. Samples were taken from our staff for covid-19 testing. For many days, we could not physically reach our families or anyone. Isolated up in the hospital. The waiting began. Days rolled by. Anxiety. All thoughts crept in. At some point, my boss and I told ourselves that if it's either positive or negative, we will beat the disease. Infact we told ourselves that "even if its death, so what !!! We will be dying while in service to humanity." When the days rolled by, we began to have some peace. Infact we were playing Fela Anipolakuti's music loudly. Also had Gospel and several country music played. For many days. Then the tension began. The result of our COVID-19 was to be released in a few more days. The music volume daily bece louder. � Phone calls and prayers from family and friends were enormous. At last the result came out yesterday 15 April, 2020 w afternoon. And it was NEGATIVE for all is us. We are still waiting to be released from isolation. Two Police vehicles have been in our gate since all these started. They were excited yesterday when our result was released and found to be negative. They are waiting for directives to let us go home. We thank Almighty God for everything. We will keep saving lives. No matter the cost.” Please observe... #StayingAtHome #SocialDistancing #WashYourHandsRegularly #SeekMedicalCareWhenSick OP's NOTE: OP was never part of this event. It entirely happened to another persons. This clarification is becoming necessary as some contributors have started seeing and addressing the OP as a victim. Be guided. Thanks 4 Likes 1 Share |

But what is there to be ashamed about having Covid19...? So much so that you have to lie about your travel history. |

This is why Doctors are always thought not just to accept patients history hook line and sinker, but also use a little bit of their own initiative to cross doted lines and fill up bare areas. Op may God continue to keep you and your colleagues safe. |

farem: I think you still need to be in isolation, don't go home yet, you may need another test later. God will protect you and all health workers. Which sample was taken because in your boss' result which we saw, the nature of the specimen was not indicated. Stay safe, stay home, save lives 1 Like |

I'd been telling anyone who cared to listen that it's impossible for Kano not to have had the COVID virus. Kano is the second most populous state in Nigeria, and the commercial nerve-centre of the north. If this shit blow for there, it'll likely become the new epicentre in Nigeria. I just hope say this lockdown no be audio lockdown. Na today go determine sha. If Juma'at prayers no hold, na then we go know say them serious small. Allah ya tsare. |
