Good evening everyone. Please, pardon any errors you find. I was born a black being, raised a black being and wasn't generally the best student in English during my school years.

Now, this is an issue that I need enlightenment on especially because my dad is asking me about it but I do not know how to answer.

This virus; how does it work? We've heard that the world is trying to produce vaccines for it and I think that the use of vaccines are aimed at providing immunity against a disease or curing the disease in other words.

But we've been hearing that people are recovering from this virus without using vaccine yet. So, what exactly is the use of the vaccine then? What effect will the vaccine have that the present measures being employed against the virus cannot or does not have?

Then secondly, which is the one my Dad is asking about, how are these patients being treated to the point that they eventually 'test negative' for the virus without them being given vaccines, especially in Nigeria?

My Dad is thinking the news about Corona virus spreading amongst Nigerians is a scam and a ploy by government to embezzle funds because he couldn't find answers to the issues above and it kind of confuses him. He admits that some returnees could have come into the country with the virus (and that Covid-19 is real) but the idea that Nigerians are contracting it and getting recovered when there are no defined details on how they are being treated, especially when there's no vaccine yet, is not true.

So how does it work?

I also learnt somewhere that the virus has a limited period in the body like 2 weeks, during which it could do some damage in the body before it vanishes and the damage done could make the patient die before the expiry period of the virus or even after. And that, what the doctors are doing is they administer immune system-strengthening medications to the patient so that the virus wouldn't do much or any damage while it lasts in the body until it finally expires and leaves the body and that's how they finally test negative.

Is this true?

Kindly leave your comments. And I also thought this could be a way of educating one another. Thank you.

Tell your Daddy it is not scam. After Abba Kyari's death, I'm surprised people still talk like that.

Coronavirus has an average mortality of 5%; meaning, out of 100 people that are infected with it, up to 5 will eventually die; another 40 may not even show any symptoms, while the rest may show varying degrees of symptoms.

As far as I know, there is no cure for Coronavirus. Any form of treatment administered to positive patients is just "supportive "; you're just trying to encourage the person's system to stay strong and put up resistance against the virus, until it wears off.

Most of the people that have died are the elderly and those with other medical conditions like diabetes and cardiac problems. Men are also more likely to die than women (60%:40%). The innate immunity of the elderly and those with medical conditions are weaker, so they have a harder time mounting a sustained response against the virus.

The virus is still out there. Some will die, some will recover, with or without any form of treatment.

the matter Taya me self

Tell your Man that Corona virus is real and it's here.
If he wants to experience it before believing why not come to Gudu cemetery to dig out Abba Kyari's body

Coronavirus can be treated using varying measures best known by doctors who specialized on areas of the virus target organs, and they study pattern at which the virus circulate just as the case of SARS which target the respiratory organ. I think the NCDC must hv study the nature of coronavirus through their Epidermologist and virologist on method to adopt

Your dad is right
The nigeria version of the virus treatment is scam

I"ll come back later for detail, i cant type now
