Thousands have died from bombing and boko haram in Nigeria but i dont knw anyone personally who has died. Is that a scam too?

Abeg... please ask him ooo...some Nigerians are just unreasonable!

If you go to those areas where boko haram is laying siege, chances are you will meet someone that knows someone who has died from the terror attacks.

But if I come to your community now and ask you to pinpoint someone you know, or even still, point out someone you know who knows someone who has died of the said COVID, something tells me it won't be that easy for you.

Covid is a hoax.

They took ordinary common flu virus and renamed it covid just to scare the hell out of the masses thereby forcing them to give up their freedom.

I am glad the people are finally waking up to the game and realizing that COVID19 is not worth all that hype and drama.
A colleague of my sister died from it in kano. A bunch of friends of hers in zamfara showed symptoms for weeks. Corona is in Nigeria. Who you should be dragging are the officials handling the tracking and testing which in my opinion is largely under reported. Those guys in zamfara didnt even report it

Check again, I never said or ever predicted dead bodies on the street. But let me take you up on that bro. So, you mean the virus is only a reality to you when "they" start picking up dead bodies on the street. Wonderful grin grin
why is new York and Palermo littered with dead bodies and Lagos is not?.. Even with their better health facilities

When malaria/typhoid reads 2+,what happens: blood presure/heart beat increases this lead to difficulty in breating,taste bud dies leading loss of taste and smell.Mosquitoe/malaria/typhoid fever kills more than hunger in Africa. Na malaria nor be coro, morquitoe bite and bad water is our problem..nor be coro coro

bro as at 2018, i did maralia test, it reads 3+, but i never took it serious, i kept over a year plus before i treat it.

I don't even understand your scope. If the streets of NY is filled with bodies, doesn't this now show that the virus is real. Real and not a propagation of the government. If you guys say that the number of corona postive persons has been politicised and not reflective of actual number then that I can agree with, but denying the the existence of the virus is only mind bugling grin

At a time 800 a day were dying in New York, a friend who lives there said the same thing - he didn’t know anybody who had it

Do people even pray to know people that have the virus ?
Why then do they pray that evil will not befall someone that will affect them.
We don't know what we want in Nigeria.
Covid-19 is real and it come like malaria, but it is isn't malaria because malaria is not infectious.
What I can't dispute is our mismanagement of the outbreak and the money involved

my former co worker died. I knew him well, the last time we worked together, I helped check his blood pressure and it was pretty high, I told him to do something about it, he is young but a big guy, he confessed he has diabetes too. So I wasn't surprised he couldn't beat it.He is the only person we lost in that facility with about 3 residents. And mind you, that facilities have more than 100 in about 7 houses workers. Few others tested positive and quarantined for 14 days without any serious symptoms. The whole facility have just been declared covid free and now conducts every week mandatory training for everyone.

every sickness & death is now tagged to covid-19, because NCDC need to justify billions of naira they collected.

it's an open secret, all the people that benefit from this SCAMDEMIC are very despirate, the are defending their looting and want it to continue.

we now have NCDC on nairaland & other social media to counter all allegations.

it's very glaring in our eye, that there is nothing like covid-19 in Nigeria, but covid-419 malaria.

Those who actually died are those who have a direct contact from abroad & they are not upto 10.

Stop this nonsense

Good day Nairalanders. Since March this year, Covid-19 has been the major issue in Nigeria as it led to the shutingdown of the economy.

Many people don't believe the existence. My dear people, I was having a double opinion about the existence too. For the first time, I'm beginning to believe the pandemic does exist. My friend who was a Medical Laboratory Scientist with Kaduna State Ministry of Health and the head of the laboratory unit, Gwantu General Hospital was down with malaria like symptoms and treated himself for several days with no improvement.

Though he was a high blood pressure patient. The fever increased and symptoms of Covid-19 started manifesting. He was taken to Kafanchan Gen Hospital but no Doctor agreed to come close to him when they saw his critical condition. He was advised to check into the isolation centre but when they got there, there was nothing on ground as everywhere was dirty with no facility. The family was advised to take him to Kaduna isolation centre but he gave up the ghost as he was under distress all these while.

His samples were taken and it came out positive for Covid-19. His corpse is deposited at Kafanchan Gen Hospital at the moment. The people that were running up and down to save his life were helpless as they watched him dying. Their samples had been collected yesterday, taken to Kaduna today and are awaiting the outcome of the results.

The question they are asking is: why is government saying they have spent huge sum of money with nothing to show for it especially in other parts of the state/country? Should preparation for Covid-19 management be made only in the state capitals? What about towns that are very far from the isolation centres in the state capitals? Government should do something to accommodate the people by creating and equipping more centres in the hinter lands.

Corona virus (Covid-19) is real!
Do you know anybody anywhere in Nigeria who has died as a result of Covid-19?

His family moved him to d hospital shouldn't they be infected... Since he was having malaria symptoms
The family have friends and the friends have friends...
So?
Well may his soul rest in peace

I was totally surprised to heard u say covid19 killed your friend after mentioning all these sicknesses he was suffering from.

Yes people who succumb to covid-19 tend to have underlying illness that weakened their immune system.

be careful! Don't be ignorant. You may have the virus and not be even aware of it. Because people react to it differently owing to factors such as immunity, blood type, pre-existing health issues.

If i told you that I think i am presently Covid-19 positive, would you believe?

I experienced some of the symptoms described here including malaria. I've treated malaria. I'm left with loss of appetite, taste and smell (anosmia and aguesia) and a shortness of breath, tiredness I can manage. Look up these online to confirm.

Other severe symptoms as fever, chest pain, coughing, etc are non-existent.

I am recovering I'm glad to say. My sense of smell and taste are recovering. I can now gradually taste pepper in my food, 7up doesn't taste like water anymore and i am strong to go about normal daily activities.

However, i am going to a test center tomorrow for diagnosis and treatment if possible, so i don't put others' health at risk, especially those who may not have immunity like mine.

I thank God for good health and life. Don't wait for a loved one to be claimed by the virus before you believe.
Stay safe, Covid-19 is real!!!
How long did it take to start recovering sense of smell? For two days now I can't perceive anything at All.
