What is the purpose of a vaccine? Is it to prevent one from contracting the disease? ... or is it to reduce the SEVERITY of the infection?

Getting vaccinated reduces but does not entirely eliminate the probability of infection, and for those who do get infected despite having been vaccinated, the chances of serious symptoms being suffered are drastically reduced such that hospitalization might not even be necessary.

Lmao.
You may not understand my story, hence you calling me a liar.. My grandma was admitted to the isolation center for 1 month and 3 days and I had to take care of her throughout till she was discharged. I saw people die right in front of me due to complications from covid and carelessness from some of the MA.
If you choose not to believe, it's left to you. I just sincerely pray you or your loved ones don't experience Covid Pneumonia.

same copy and paste story we have seen thousands of time , try again fraud star

Why dance around the question? ... it's the reason I was so specific ... to avoid the dancing. So after all this dancing....can I get a specific answer?

Your grandma was admitted for 1month and 3 days. Was it because of COVID? How long should one be isolated for COVID-19? Isn't it 2 weeks? What was she doing there for more than twice the duration of time? Do you realize you're telling us the isolation centers are not for COVID-19 patients only? So when one dies in a COVID isolation center wouldn't the death be recorded as a COVID death? ... when the person was there because of other conditions and not COVID? And you're wondering why people don't believe the numbers.

Looking for answers to medical questions from random strangers chatting in an internet discussion forum is a mistake. My expertise is palm-wine tapping and eating beaver. I can write a book on those subjects in which I hold a doctorate degree, but when it comes to covid, I can only offer a personal opinion, which of course should not be taken as medical advice.

This weather isn't favourable to COVID-19 virus. The reason for the reducing figures of new infections, compared to what obtained wen the weather was very cold. Soon, we shall start recording double to single digits..... except, of course, if those feeding off the pandemic would let this be

Say goodbye to coronavirus in naija

malcom1X:


Okay good for clarifying. Your grandma was there for 1 month and 3 days in the isolation centre. And she was finally discharged, Can you explain why or how this happened. People need to know.

She had covid pneumonia. Covid comes with different complications. For old people, long covid is vei common. This means their oxygen saturation levels may not improve until after a long period of receiving oxygen to their lungs.

My grandma was on 15L oxygen for 23 days. It was after that period her oxygen saturation level got to 90. Even though she's back home, she still averages 93 in a day when the normal level should be 97-100.

That's how best I can explain

Who told you covid only lasts for 2 weeks?

When the virus affects your lungs, your oxygen levels drop and your lungs will not be able to transport oxygen to the rest of your body. This is what results in shortness of breath.
When my grandmother was admitted, her oxygen saturation was 64. The normal saturation for humans is 97-100.
She had to be on 15L oxygen for 23 days before she started recording 90 in her saturation level.
Then the oxygen was reduced to 10L, then 8L.
Even though we're home now, she still averages 93 whilst she continues taking her drugs.
Don't let anyone deceive you that it lasts for 2 weeks.
Also, you could take a walk to any of the isolation centres and have a chat with those doctors or nurses volunteering there, maybe you'll understand how the virus works.

Where did I say COVID-19 last for 2 weeks? Your grandma dma was admitted with an oxygen level of 64 ... does that mean she has COVID? ... or she had other issues? What medications is she on for COVID-19?

Will COVID-19 ever end in Nigeria??

Covid barely concerns Nigeria. It’s been ten times worse in other parts of the world.

Yes, she tested positive for covid pneumonia.
I can't come out to tell you all that she's using for her treatment because I am not a medical doctor and it may mislead others to self-medicate. However, vitamins are included in her treatment.

...Guy... I don't know if to laugh in Chinese or French. So she tested positive for "covid pneumonia". I asked for the medications because there is none that is being officially given for the effective treatment of COVID-19. But .... money must be made.

Lol...What money is being made bro?
She was placed on oxygen and given drugs to heal her lungs. Zinc and vitamins were also administered to boost her immune system. What money exactly is there to be made from telling you I had to pause over a month of my life to take care of my grandma.
All the struggles from the house to general hospital ikorodu, to Mainland hospital in Yaba, then transferred to Ajao estate.
The trauma from seeing men and women die and you think money must be made. All is well.

At this point choose to believe what you want.

Money is to be made by the medical institutions ... you don't know the depth of secrecy involved with this pandemic.
