Here’s the rest of the article. No need to click anything. It is from Inc. magazine: As with flu, the most at-risk for serious repercussions are the elderly and those who are in bad health or have compromised immune systems. If that describes you, you may need to take extra precautions to avoid infection since a vaccine for the new coronavirus is at least several months away. In the meantime, here’s what every smart leader, and employee, should do to avoid disruptions from both the coronavirus and the flu. 1. Don’t go to work if you feel sick, and don’t let your employees come in either. Our American tendency to take a cold pill and tough it out when we don’t feel well is one of the worst habits we have. If you have any symptoms at all, and in particular a fever, you absolutely must stay home from work because you risk damaging the productivity of your entire workplace. This would be true even if there were no coronavirus. Given concerns about the new illness and the fact that it’s flu season as well, you should make certain that your employees don’t come to work sick either. You might also review your paid time off or sick day policy to make sure employees never feel compelled to come in if they don’t feel well. They won’t be doing you any favors if they do. 2. Wash your hands. A lot. People worry about catching viruses when other people cough or sneeze in their vicinity, and of course that is one way of contracting the flu and most likely the coronavirus as well. But it’s also alarmingly easy to catch the flu or another virus if you touch an object or surface that was touched by someone who was contagious any time over the previous 48 hours, especially if you then touch your nose or mouth. This is where frequent hand-washing comes in. The more often you wash your hands, the less likely you are to infect yourself if you’ve touched something that had virus on it. Also, the less likely you are to give any virus you may have to someone else. Unfortunately, it’s possible to be contagious before you have symptoms and with the new coronavirus, it appears that you can be healthy but contagious for state can last up to two weeks. Which means that if you have any reason whatsoever to think you might have been exposed to the new virus, you should wash your hands very often, and try to limit close contact with other people for that amount of time. Elisabeth Rosenthal, a physician and journalist who lived in China during the SARS epidemic and covered it for The New York Times kept herself and her children safe, mainly with frequent hand-washing. 3. Unless you’re a healthcare worker or you have flu symptoms, don’t wear a mask. If you’re healthy, wearing a mask is unlikely to help you in most situations, especially if you don’t wear a new one each time you go out. On the other hand, masks have been shown to protect healthcare workers who may be exposed to the coronavirus and other illnesses in the course of their work. Because of panic over the new virus, some health officials are concerned about a shortage of masks for those healthcare workers who need them most — and if they get infected, the disease is likelier to spread. In other words, though it’s counterintuitive, wearing a mask when you don’t need one could actually increase your chances of getting the coronavirus, or another virus. If you’re coughing or sneezing, though, wearing a mask may prevent you from sharing your cold or flu with anyone else. In Asia, many people wear masks because it’s considered polite to do so if you have cold or flu symptoms. 4. Give careful thought to your supply chain. Even if no one in your office gets sick, the coronavirus could be a headache for your business because dealing with the outbreak may interfere with China’s ability to be the manufacturing juggernaut we’ve all come to depend on for just about everything. Wuhan, the now shut down city where the outbreak originated, is sometimes called the Chicago of China for its central location and importance as a transportation hub. The automobile industry, in particular, has set up shop in Wuhan, and General Motors, Ford, and Nissan all plan to close factories in accordance with the Chinese government mandate to extend the Lunar New Year holiday to February 3 as part of its effort to contain the outbreak. If your company is dependent on products or product components made in China, it might be smart to stockpile a little more than you normally would in case there’s more widespread disruption to manufacturing if the disease continues to spread. If the virus is contained right away, you may wind up with some extra supplies. If it isn’t, you may be glad you have them on hand. Published on: Jan 30, 2020 Like this column?

jabberjawz:Nigerians are so docile. RISE AGAINST THIS TANKO SC!! IT IS A KANGAROO COURT!!! Consider the Uzodinma documents they relied on to replace an 8-month incumbent governor with a FOURTH place finisher: not only were they full of ridiculous numbers, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, signed only by APC, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties! (BTW PDP recently WON the rerun held in the same Hope’s “stronghold” where he got 99.9% of the votes with 100+% voter turnouts!) Vanguard. Tuesday, January 28, 2020 Imo Guber: How Supreme court erred in computation of results *Declared more votes than accredited voters *Failed to interrogate petitioners’ evidence *Avoided mentioning figures in a written judgment Facts have emerged that the Supreme Court failed to do a thorough mathematical computation of the results of the election but relied only on the wrong computations submitted by Sen. Hope Uzodinma to declare him the duly-elected governor of Imo State... Both the EPT and the Appeal Court dismissed the petition for lacking in merit. By relying on the faulty tabulation made by Sen. Uzodinma, the Supreme Court arrived at a figure of 950,952 total votes cast at the election, which is more than the total votes cast at the election totalling 823,743. This gave rise to 127,209 excess votes at the election as affirmed by the Supreme Court, which all through avoided mentioning figures regarding the votes cast for the disputants or the total registered voters and valid and invalid votes in the judgment. ——————- Here are some magic numbers (remember these numbers exclude votes scored by the other 68 Parties!) “The Guardian obtained a certified-true-copy of the record of the appeal filed at the Supreme Court by Uzodinma and APC... For instance, on figure number 69 which shows votes cast at Eziama/Okpala (Umualum Village Square, Eziama) total number of registered voters =492, whereas the APC scored 819 votes and PDP scored 7 votes, meaning 334 more votes than registered voters! On page 22 of the record, at the polling unit 285 (Obudi/Aro, Central Assembly Square, registered voters = 449 APC polled 780 votes PDP polled four votes, leaving a total of 335 votes higher than the actual number of registered voters. Also on page 22 of the petition, polling unit 282 number of registered voters = 591, APC polled 586 votes PDP nine votes, indicating a total of four votes higher than the registered number of voters. Figures from page 79 of the record of appeal show: Registered voters = 526 APC got 526 votes, while PDP was credited with two votes, indicating two votes higher than the total number of registered voters in the area.” |
NGpatriot:Are u ok?? I have no patience for people who can’t read/comprehend. Below is what I wrote. Where does it say INEC produced anything? The case is about replacing an 8-month incumbent governor with an appellant who finished FOURTH! Now run along
|
Who is advising these people, Mr. Ibu? |
NGpatriot:You apparently didn’t read anything I wrote. You are telling me what the SC did. I am telling you the SC was WRONG/COMPROMISED! The lower courts were right! Never in Nigerian judicial history (or any authentic democracy for that matter) has the SC ruled against ALL lower courts AND the election authority itself in order to immediately replace a sitting governor with a 4th-place finisher - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the 4th-place finisher himself!! To replace an 8-month incumbent gov with a 4th-place appellant needs to be just about impossible. It needs to be backed by documentary and other evidence, totally above board, beyond reproach, and with multiple layers of authentication. Not some childish incomplete documents like Uzodinma’s, full of 100+% voter turnouts, smudges and alterations, and with only two parties’ results showing! YOU DON’T DECIDE SUCH A CASE BASED ON SUCH DOCUMENTS, OR TECHNICALITIES OR BY NOT EXAMINING DOCUMENTS, OR BY PRETENDING NOT TO SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! Supreme Court cases set precedents that lawyers will cite ad infinitum. Here’s the precedent set here: A person that comes 10th can easily be declared winner and immediately replace the incumbent. All they’d have to do is present result sheets which the Supreme Court MUST accept no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals! That’s what u r supporting! See, this is not just another case. This is a case that strikes at the very core of what type of country we’d end up becoming. The SC has a duty to make sure that such a momentous, unprecedented decision has solid, unassailable documentary basis?! They start doing that by thoroughly examining the documents in front of them! SC does not exist in a vacuum. This is also their country and they ought care they are setting a precedent that can gradually make the country a one-party state. Here they are, removing a gov and replacing him with a fourth-place finishing appellant based solely on a set of uncollaborated documents supplied solely by the appellant himself. Regardless of what anyone else submits or fails to submit, they have a DUTY to EXAMINE those documents they are basing everything on to make sure they are up to par and that the figures therein make sense vis-a-vis number of registered and accredited voters! That is how it is done! And that is why you’ve never had a judgment like this before! |

ivysunday:Man has way more than 6 senses (see below) The truth is, your man has no way of knowing anything for sure. That’s the nature of our reality. He even has no way of knowing if our reality is real or simulated
|
NGpatriot:INEC either did not have or REFUSED to present them just as the SC REFUSED to examine Hope’s documents, knowing fully well he’d be laughed out of court if they did. Also, u talk as if the parties are equal. They are not. Ihedioha was the INCUMBENT! He was not going to court to have himself replace the incumbent based on some clearly questionable, childish documents. All elections have errors and shenanigans. That‘s why the bar for removing an incumbent is high. Otherwise anybody can come up with electoral errors or connive with INEC or cook up something any time. After all the games and maneuverings, the electoral umpire declared Ihedioha the winner and Hope FOURTH place. That’s the baseline. You don’t lightly change that. You don’t change that by refusing to examine documents. YOU DON’T REMOVE AN INCUMBENT BY PRESENTING CLEARLY FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS NO MATTER HOW THE INCUMBENT WAS ELECTED! We know the way many of our senators and reps “won”. But u need solid, unassailable evidence to have them removed. Not some childish, incomplete documents full of ridiculous figures and smudges and alterations, signed by only APC, and with only APC and PDP results showing! |
