To those who don't believe covid-19 is real. You need to have a rethink for the sake of your loved ones. I felt I should share my experience maybe someone, somewhere would learn and not treat the pandemic with kid gloves.

It all happened on the 26th March, 2020 after my return trip from the South East. Before I embarked on that trip, there had been news about the imminent lockdown all over town as cases increased but I wasn't deterred because of how important the meeting in the S/E was. I searched for a flight to asaba with no luck so I decided that I was going to travel via one of the public transport buses plying that route from Lagos. I booked two of the back seats so I could put my travel bag on one of the seats to avoid my laptop having issues.
While I was seated at the back, there was this couple seated in front of me. While the husband wore a face mask, the wife didn't. They looked like those just arriving from a long haul. Their bags occupied the remaining 2 seats at the back right beside mine. The tags seen on those bags showed they were coming from China. Then I didn't really believe covid-19 was around. I almost mocked the guy who wore a face mask because it looked strange to me. They alighted in Onitsha.

In short after my meeting, I went straight to my hotel ordered my meal and slept off. The following day, i left for the meeting venue to carry out another presentation, after which we called it a day. In short, I Ieft for lagos on the 3rd day early momo via the transport company I came with. My client had arranged for a drop off the previous night so the driver took me to Asaba to board the return bus back home. As soon as I boarded the bus, I was feeling uneasy. By the time we got to Benin I was hit by this terrible headache. My eyes were dripping water. I had to plead with the driver to reduce the AC which other passengers weren't comfortable with. On getting to lagos the taxi driver who took me back home could notice I wasn't feeling well. At this point I could hardly breathe deeply. My left lung first seized. I was breathing through my mouth . I turned off the AC completely as I wasn't feeling comfortable anymore with the AC on. The following day, I managed to go to the clinic in the neighbourhood where my temperature was checked. It was abnormally high, my BP too rose abnormally. My BP used to be 115/75 and its been like this for years which was quite ok for my age. This time it rose abnormally. The Dr. gave me injection with some drugs. He asked me to come for 2nd injection the following day, that I could be having flu. I lost my sense of smell. My heart was vibrating, I couldn't return to the hospital the following day because I had no strength to drive. I told wifey not to bother driving me cos I might collapse while in the vehicle the way I was feeling.

We had a little knowledge of covid-19 remedies so my wife went to get ginger, grated it and put inside water. I kept drinking with Vitamin C , as a precaution. On the 3rd day, I became so weak. On sighting the NCDC numbers on channels tv, I quickly picked one of them and called...my voice was apparently faint. I called several times, no response. I now sent one annoying message to one of the numbers....please see the screenshots below for details. I now received a funny and disappointing response. Before then, I had not travelled overseas. My last trip was in June 2019 to Florida. But then, I was on same bus with a couple who returned from China with their luggage stacked beside me.

My wife really tried . She would boil hot water, cover me with the water inside a bowl with tick clothes and ask me to stay inside for minutes. I was feeling weak inside of me and this time, my right lung was weak. My only sickness is malaria I hardly fall sick but this one was something else. From the 4th day, I was getting better and better, we went for vitamin C by thousand and Zinc. As i was recovering, my eldest child picked it. She kept telling me she had lost her sense of smell, as if something rotten was coming down her nostrils, that the smell was unpalatable. She took ill. Within 3 days she had recovered , then my son picked it. He would say dad, I'm weak, I'm not OK this time I guessed it was covid-19, given all the reported symptoms by NCDC but I wasn't so sure. Then my last born picked it, same symptoms then the lockdown was in full force.

Final my wife. I had to drive her to one of the isolation centres. They felt reluctant in testing her. The crowd was much. After I recounted my ordeal, she was reluctantly attended to. She tested positive for the virus. She would be vibrating at night. 2 weeks later she was pronounced fit and tested negative. I heard a near death experience. I was begging God to please give me the 2nd chance to live. I looked at my kids and said God please, not now.

Covid-19 is real my people. Please stay safe.

Hmmm! I learned

So I'm Ftc

Nigerians believe in conspiracies. They will never believe that Covid is real, because the government has made them distrustful.

Thank God for his mercy and healing upon your lives not everyone got it.
FAM please covid 19 is very real, let's protect ourselves always.

Every professional you see today was once a student, don't be afraid of being a student, just continue, you will get there.

Good morning FAM.

Yea God is great. I decided to leave the screenshot unedited so people could see the date it happened and the useless NCDC number I called so the doubting thomases would know how serious and real it is. They think those sharing their experiences are being bribed by the government to do so. For some of us who survived it, we don't wish our enemies to experience such, let alone people we care for as fellow citizens, even without knowing them closely. Sadly, our leaders aren't sensitising people enough in this covid-19 of a thing, thereby send people to their early graves. They don't care and some of them are also dying of the virus.

Some days back, i made a comment under a similar topic that 3 of my clients relations were buried same day in igala area of kogi early late last month. When I asked where she was as the place was noisy she told me she came to the village to bury 3 of her relations who died of suspected covid-19 virus due the symptoms they were reportedly showing before they died in 3 different compounds of that town..
See the way people were raining insults on me...and there's a sitting governor who was supposed to be sensitising people but rather, saying covid-19 is a hoax...sad!. I thought it wise to share my personal experience here, seeing the way people handle this issue so lightly. Covid-19 is actually much more around now than people think. Just yesterday, I had a chat with someone. She had covid-19. See our conversation from the screenshots shared.

God bless you immensely.
Covid 19 is very real.
I personally know some close friends, Pastor and associate who had the virus. Mercy said NO and they are back on their feet.
May God's mercy continue to speak for us at this trying time and season.
Stay safe, mask up and wash your hand regularly as directed by the NCDC.
This too shall pass...

Thanks for sharing your experience. From your experience, there are available treatments for this overhyped disease, that someone can do without visiting isolation centres. So what is the whole point of shutting down the country?
If covid19 is not a SCAMdemic, we should be seeing pictures of dead bodies all over Kogi state.

We thank God for your recovery.

NLers rejoice with you

CORONAVIRUS IS REAL GUYS.
DAMN SO REAL.
And this is coming from the Frontline Workers.
Many have died right in front of us.
15 people this year alone, though the youngest was 69 years old but we have seen many young people that have this deadly virus also.

juman:
The health workers are our gods.
We cannot thank them enough.

Below are the Real Super Heroes.

Baba God, we thank you for our lives and the lives of our family o.
Na only God.

Awon [color=#006600][/color] .
Dem frontline workers.
God's blessings and protection on we all and all Nurses, Doctors and all Frontline workers out there.

Leave those foolish deniers.

Thank God for your life and that of your family too.

My Uncle's close friend just died from COVID-19, and I know at least five people who have been down with the disease, yet some people just insist on spreading their ignorance all over the place. Sometimes, willful ignorance is how people die of avoidable causes.

You're so lucky! And I'm glad you and the rest of your family members beat this dreadful virus.

[color=#990000]Covid is no joke oh guys. Make una take extra precautions particularly people with underlying health issues.

Buried my boss who died on Monday from Covid complications on Tuesday at Gudu cemetery in Abuja.

There is a separate ground carved out for Covid 19 victims at the cemetery. You'd be shocked at the ages of the victims already buried there so far. Young folks abound there.

The most annoying of it all is that, life just go on for China wey put everybody for this yawa like say nothing dey happen.

So many promising lives getting cut abruptly it's so sad.[/color]

If you had kept all the protocols maybe

.

The funny thing is with all the evidence you've provided and seriousness of the issue, they will still go ahead to say you're a paid agent and a scam bla bla bla. It's like they are innately programmed to be incapable of rational thinking. Only when they are affected directly would they then acknowledge its reality.

Grade one stupidity is to believe that because the Government has not gotten its act together regarding Covid 19, then the disease itself must be a scam. Abeg, does the virus particle that is transmitted when a returnee traveller from the US sneezes on his family and friends think about Government insincerity before it starts wreaking havoc? Where is the logic in this?

The truth is that almost everyone will eventually catch covid at one point or the other due to the sheer mass of people not really taking precautions which undermines the efforts of those who take it seriously.

hmmm

Covid is real but the government is exaggerating its effects
The virus doesn't thrive well in Tropical Africa(some parts of South Africa is cold(Mediterranean)

,and those cold areas have the highest infection and death rates)
The heat reduces the efficacy in transmitting the virus in Africa
If the Virus in Africa is as potent as it is in Europe or the Americas
I can assure you about 70% of the African populace would be DEAD a little before the UN-WHO COVID aid was given to Nigeria,the numbers the NCDC were publishing were very scary.But after the rates started miraculously dwindling
The government of Nigeria is using it to make money

theFilmtricsay

We have all had that experience and our bodies have adjusted to the virus.

This is scary. I now wear my breathable face mask while doing my morning jogging and you need to see the stares I get from people

I no send anybody. I'll continue putting on my face mask daily. No time

Once you start experiencing malaria, typhoid or flu symptoms - please just start treating Covid.

My Experience
I live together with my sister and contracted the virus from her. On the day she tested positive, we were already experiencing symptoms. We were both running fever, body pains and a sore throat. It is very important to treat symptoms immediately you start experiencing them – especially the cold related symptoms. The symptoms typically start from the nose or throat and move rapidly to the chest. Once it gets to the chest/lungs, it starts impacting your ability to breathe. This is where most people need hospitalization.

So, we started treating the symptoms with Vitamins and Ginger. We also ensured we ate properly, rested at least 12hr minimum, stayed in-doors, no cold drinks/food, did not use fan and had the AC at 28C. The symptoms remained mild because of aggressive and consistent treatment. Most young people without any underlying health issue will have mild symptoms and can treat Covid-19 from home. See a rough timeline of the symptoms:

Day 1 – Fever, Body Pains, Sore throat, tiredness
Day 2 – Blocked nose (off and on)
Day 4 – Loss of sense of Smell
Day 5 – Fever stops (no need for Paracetamol)
Day 7 – Sore throat intensifies & starts to move to the chest, chest pain; I increased intake of raw ginger, vitamins and oranges
Day 8 – Chest pain stops, sore throat reduces, still tired
Day 10 – Starting to feel stronger, cold symptoms very minimal, still tired (sleeping 12 hours a day vs 7-8 hours on a normal day)
Day 11 – Sense of smell returns - (this was triggered by inhaling a new smell; I opened a new perfume I just got)
Day 13 – Tests negative for Covid 19

Treatment
Tip – Have these items at home because the symptoms progress very rapidly.

1. Vitamin B – to be taken 3 times daily
2. Vitamin C – 1000mg to be taken 1-2 times daily
3. Vitamin D – to be taken 2 times daily
4. Zinc – To be taken once daily
5. Paracetamol – to alleviate fever and body aches as needed
6. Ginger – to be eaten raw 3 times daily. I put ginger as a drug because it is literally the most powerful medication on this list. A few minutes after eating Ginger, I noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. It tastes bitter at first, then peppery, then hot which might dissuade some people from eating it raw – but overall its tolerable.
7. Fruits – Oranges, lemon, etc
8. Prayer

Though my symptoms were mild, having Covid-19 was not an enjoyable experience. Ensure you always “mask-up”. I saw my father before my symptoms showed and he had his mask on throughout. That’s the only thing that saved him. Always wear your masks and Stay safe guys!

Covid is real.




I'm a witness.

Congratulation

Nobody is disputing the existence of this virus but does it warrant the shutting down of the ENTIRE WORLD??

Viruses have always been from the beginning of time and will continue to exist. There are more deadly plagues that have come and gone and yet people lived on.

The virus is real yes, but it is being used to serve a bigger and more sinister agenda.

covid is real?? but I think its more like a scam in naija..

Isolating now too, had it since Friday.

Not as bad as you though just weak and loss of smell and appetite.

My only annoyance now is eating food I'm not tasting lol.
