Agwuo turu mbé has gone the way of his ancestors.

It's now official, Nigeria is a paper tiger.

For those asking why the rich and famous are contracting the virus; this is why! This dumb piece of gutter behaviour!

And the earth is flat

Wallahi!

For Fúcks Sakes, why have we allowed all our years of education to be eroded by some dimwit conspiracy theory. At this point I'm going to believe Tupac and Biggie are Alive, NASA faked the moon landing, MJ ain't dead, Elvis Presley is living in Cuba, The Queen of England is Immortal and Philip Emegwali invented the internet.

What the actual fúck!

Individuals with varying degrees of renal ailments are at risk from the COVID-19 virus. Until there's been appropriate testing to show he departed from just an average everyday kidney failure let's leave him journey in peace.

Effect Of Temperature On COVID-19: An Unscientific Investigation.

In the early days of the Coronavirus scourge, many Nigerians believed that we wouldn't be affected because of our hot weather. Now that we're testing people, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases, to about 210, which is still quite low for a country with 190 million residents. However many people suspect that the virus has penetrated our society far more deeply than the NCDC statistics suggest. We've noticed that people who travelled to colder countries recently or spend most of their time in air-conditioned spaces, or their direct contacts, are massively over-represented among the confirmed cases. Is this because they are the only ones being tested, or is heat a factor?

Here is the list of the 10 countries that have the highest number of active COVID-19 cases, and their forecasted temperatures for the day:
* USA has 257,790 active cases. The temperature forecast for New York is 8°C - 15°C.
* Italy has 85,388 active cases. The temperature forecast for Rome is 7°C - 25°C.
* Spain has 77,488 active cases. The temperature forecast for Madrid is 6°C - 19°C
* Germany has 65,309 active cases. The temperature forecast for Berlin is 1°C - 12°C
* France has 61,650 active cases. The temperature forecast for Paris is 6°C - 17°C
* UK has 34,428 active cases. The temperature forecast for London is 4°C - 16°C
* Iran has 31,954 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tehran is 8°C - 19°C
* Turkey has 20,012 active cases. The temperature forecast for Istanbul is 8°C - 11°C
* Switzerland has 14,169 active cases. The temperature forecast for Geneva is 3°C - 17°C
* Netherlands has 13,986 active cases. The temperature forecast for Amsterdam is 4°C - 14°C

On average, the top ten countries with Coronavirus have a temperature forecast of 5.5 - 16.5°C. The temperature forecast for Lagos is 26°C - 34°C, and for Abuja, it's 24°C - 36°C. This is a massive, massive difference! The maximum temperature of nine of the countries above is lower than the minimum temperature of Lagos. The maximum temperature of 7 of those countries is lower than the minimum thermostat setting of most Nigerian air-conditioners (18°C).

The countries mentioned above are in Africa, Asia or Europe. What about Africa? Here's our top 5:
* South Africa has 1,401 active cases. The temperature forecast for Johannesburg is 9°C - 15°C.
* Algeria has 1,004 active cases. The temperature forecast for Algiers is 9°C - 17°C.
* Egypt has 703 active cases. The temperature forecast for Cairo is 24°C - 34°C.¹
* Tunisia has 472 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tunis is 8°C - 17°C.
* Burkina Faso has 236 active cases. The temperature forecast for Ouagadougou is 28°C - 43°C. ^1
1 The Egypt data is misleading because the their average temperature last month was 11.6°C to 26°C, but Burkina Faso is a legitimate outlier; the country is much hotter than Nigeria.

The above data, in spite of the outlier, is enough to convince me that the Coronavirus likes cold weather and probably spreads faster in cold places, such as air-conditioned cars, offices, and homes. This, apart from the lack of testing, may explain why we are yet to see any significant evidence of transmission outside the circles of travellers and the rich and powerful in Nigeria. It is consistent with what we know about other respiratory illnesses, and why countries like the US expect the disease to slow down in their summer season (starting from June).

When I see videos of Lagos officials spraying open areas e.g. roads & sidewalks in Lagos, I have to laugh, because I strongly suspect that, if they actually bothered to test for the presence of the virus on those surfaces, they'd find nothing at all because the sun already sterilized them.

Knowing that the virus hates our hot temperature gives me hope. If a cold country like South Korea (0°C -13°C forecast for today) could beat the virus without destroying their economy by imposing a total lockdown, a constantly hot country like Nigeria could do much better if we used the same tactics. We need to start testing people who have had close contact with confirmed cases before they show symptoms. We also need to enforce universal wearing of face-masks and social distancing everywhere, which in itself may even be sufficient to end the virus.

May your days be bright and hot. May your air-conditioners be off and your windows wide open (to get rid of aerosolized droplets). Cheers.

PS: I always make a lot of mistakes when I post long articles, so if you spot any errors, omissions, or false statements, please correct me.

Seun, inasmuch as the temperature may look like an underlying factor for the low rates in some countries, you need to take into consideration other factors such as inadequate testing. Case in point New York, whose numbers skyrocketed the moment they started widespread testing.

How's this my business?

Pardon me but where do you get your gif memes from?

YouTube, then convert to a meme if I can't find any readily available gif.

Wetin, we gain?

Hian, l dey kamkpe, how your side, l trust you are fine and safe

Yes o

AngelicBeing:
Hahaha, don't mind the mugu, he has been denied western visas several times, he is well known at the travel section, your gif response to him cracked me up

This man, how have you been...you no dey post memes again?

timesup234:
You guys are clowns. This got nothing to do with the kind of government. America, Canada are now looking like third world shitholes with piles of dead bodies everywhere. In fact they have always been shitholes but the average nigeria is brainwashed to think we have it bad here when nigeria is the best and most developed country in the world. Western societies living under a bubble.

nurex01:
bro... Long time o. How Far with those things na? Lol

You go need to refresh my databank oooo, how the hustle nah?

But no one is selling?

Won't this be asking too much, since there is no planned economic stimulus package to cover them or their losses?

X0012:
People like you always thinks they got everything figured out until they realise they dont.

And people like you are the reason I stopped typing RIP on NL because they are not worth the waste of bits and bytes.

It's better to overestimate and be wrong than to understimate and be wrong... in which case millions die and we chalk it up to the will of God.

sapientia:
They are using same drug in USA and people are dying. The Minister is a clown. Its that simple.

Each state should have at least 1000 ventilators before now and should have been one of the priorities.

Is all the money donated for just test kits?



Have heard 2 different presumed experts predict 40 and 45 million death respectively.

How possible can that be since we have not started recording multiple deaths already.

You can run simulations based on the available cases right now...heck you can even do it with Microsoft Excel.

Oh kay

sapientia:
This was how the labour minister said we had enough doctors.

That our doctors can go anywhere they want since we have enough.

How do Buhari select ministers?

Tum bum Tum Bum Bus Calabar...

Who is still surprised? Abeg make una prepare for the mass burials wen dem already don plan keep.

The above statement is my opinion on this matter, and it's not up for discussion.

The military second eleven orishirishi was not a plan to build or maintain field hospitals but to maintain order and discard corpses.

Them go soon court-martial am...anything contrary to what General Dubai Mansion-Genius Salary-Super-Saver Buratai has said is mutiny.

Pray, tell us.

Will they listen?

+32% of 232 tests in country with a population of 200million. The Nigerian government will use anything to make themselves feel good. While most nations are seeking out resources of help; these irredeemable clowns are making preparations for mass burials while their president (unconfirmed rumours) vacations in the UK.
