Because the propagandist told you so.
A man who had a month plus to prepare with unlimited access to funding and he blew
it by being petty and stupid as usual.

He banned flights from China in January, from Italy in February.
Remind us when Nigeria did same

Eagba:
oga the worst of trump is better than the best of buhari

Also better than the best of the Democrats - Joe Biden!

So they waited all this while to decide that chloroquine is a likely treatment...who believes that this stuff was cooked up by either the Chinese government or the Americans.i do

Well, for your smart TVs, ACs and Soundsystems, check my signature

I think u folks give these people too much credit.
US is at war with various Taliban, Hezbolah, ISIS, etc. Why don’t they release corona among them??
Instead it is killing Italians and Germans!

RandomVic:
Oga this is a matter of life and death! Not your usual APC, PDP nonsense. Rational governments around the world shut down schools with immediate effect whilst ours was dragging its feet leaving our borders open practically inviting the virus to our shores.

No mind am

IF ONLY BUHARI HAD CLOSED OUR BORDERS LONG AGO LIKE EVERYONE WAS BEGGING HIM TO DO...

Now that they have closed them has the world ended??

They even refused to institute even ordinary mandatory quarantine of people from hot zones - it is a crime against humanity!!!

Dominatrix:
Wow, a lot of people already assumed this is the cure. I'm speechless.

At least it will ameliorate it.

yes he closed the boarder but it was against rice amongst other food items.


He sees no reason to close boarders because of virus. They know Nigerians are suffer head. How on earth did he get elected the second time

It is a real shame my sister. And the thing is, I was even his supporter!

IJEYdiamond:
I am disappointed in this ceremonial president... i dont even know if he is human... if he cant speak English he should speak his native language...come out and address the people..

But during campaign he was energetic to speak.
Such a disappointment....!!

And he doesn’t really have to say much. Just appear on tv and be a reassuring, comforting presence like a leader is supposed to be, projecting a sense of unity, “I am with you, we are in this together”

What exactly do you want Buhari to say? Before you know it now, the SM will be awashed with funny posts.

It will be recalled that when the Italian index patient was identified and confined in Lagos, everyone concerned treated the story as evidence of preparedness with some even sounding triumphal. In reality what actually happened was that the subject self-presented and was diagnosed – the good news ended there.

Describing what happened next, my source says:

“The case in Lagos for instance took the intervention of the Italian ambassador for the patient to be moved. The place he was kept initially wasn’t habitable . While Govt was on air claiming to have contained him in a hospital – he was literally abandoned at a poorly maintained facility, which is why Punch reported his attempted escape because he was dealing with mosquito bites.”

In the context of Nigeria’s porous land borders and the up to 30-day asymptomatic incubation period of COVID-19, during which time it is infectious, nobody actually knows how many novel coronavirus cases are in Nigeria. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians could currently be carrying the COVID-19 virus, without anything close to the required testing capacity to find out!

Guys in Europe are surprised why it's not killing much people in Africa that lacks the infrastructure to deal with the 'crisis'. While their media is telling them that 'the world is coming to an end'.

Bingo!
But still we should never be complacent.

Nigerians shouldn’t be complacent and should take all necessary precautions, but at same time we shouldn’t let alarmists have us in a panic and consumed with fear!

if used in combination with a popular drug, no itches would be felt

What drug is that? I really want to know

faceland:
Am not bullshiting you. Trust me: I wish I could say this slowly so you finally get it:

If they randomly pick 100 people infected with coronavirus, LESS THAN 2 will die. And that that <2 person is probably OVER the age of 60 or has a per-existing medical condition (that means someone who immune-system is already weaken by another illness they are battling).

If they would not take away my freedom or at least allow me to self-isolate, I would huge someone with the virus without. This is where is gets interesting. 96% of those affected don't even have symptoms, they just tested positive and recovered on their own. 98% of those who tested positive fully recovered.

Not only that, those 2 people will probably not have the benefit of immune-boosting vitamin D from our hot sun, nor the corona-weakening benefit of our hot humid weather!

KaideeGee:
I am not too certain about that

Well Trump is.

Baba, you too like screenshots without studying
the actual story! US' ban on flights from China wasn't total then.
There was exceptions baba.
Na even Italy apply total ban on China first. Wetin con dey happen for the same Italy?

There were no exceptions. EVERYBODY traveling from China was quarantined for two weeks.

But bros, how naive we were, the kind of things we were worried about, compare to today!
I was just reading this:

The Trump administration’s quarantine and travel ban in response to the Wuhan coronavirus could undercut international efforts to fight the outbreak by antagonizing Chinese leaders, as well as stigmatizing people of Asian descent, according to a growing chorus of public health experts and lawmakers.
The World Health Organization’s top official on Tuesday repeated concern that moves that interfere with transportation and trade could harm efforts to address the crisis, though he didn't directly name the United States. Meanwhile, unions representing flight attendants, nurses and teachers criticized the administration... and some members of Congress say they're concerned the efforts could stoke racial discrimination.

The administration on Sunday ordered recent U.S. travelers to China’s Hubei province — the epicenter of the outbreak — to be held in a mandatory quarantine for two weeks. The last time the government took such a step was in the late 1960s, when it held people on the U.S.-Mexico border who lacked evidence of smallpox vaccination. Currently, 195 Americans who were evacuated from the Wuhan area last week are quarantined on a military base in Ontario, Calif. — and the number is expected to grow as more people are flown out.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Tuesday that widespread travel bans and restrictions weren’t needed to stop the outbreak and could "have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit." Union leaders separately called for a coordinated government response and warned authorities against profiling people of Asian descent while addressing the threat...

Bera added that the mandatory quarantines “may be overkill,” pointing to experts who say governments should opt for voluntary steps whenever possible, since people usually comply with self-quarantine orders to protect themselves and others from disease.

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union has warned that the administration's measures infringe on civil rights. Any detention of travelers or citizens must be “scientifically justified and no more intrusive on civil liberties than absolutely necessary,” said Jay Stanley, an ACLU senior policy analyst.
Administration officials are publicly wrestling with some of these concerns. On a call with reporters Friday, CDC officials acknowledged the policies could “induce fear and stigma,” but argued the public health benefits outweighed the downsides.

puremaker7:
slowpoke hope our weather is protecting us now?

So explain to us how Italy just had 475 deaths in just one day alone while no Nigerian in Nigeria has ever gotten seriously ill. Also explain to us why all Italian hot zones are in the cold northern parts. Also mention for us one warm and humid (tropical) and relatively poor place where corona has succeeded.
My brother it is all pure SCIENCE (see screenshot below).

I’ve always said Nigerians shouldn’t be complacent and should take all necessary precautions but at same time we shouldn’t let alarmists have us in a panic.

Nicholls, said there were three things coronavirus does not like — sunlight, temperature and humidity.

“Sunlight will cut the virus’s ability to grow in half, so the half-life will be 2.5 minutes, while in the dark it’s about 13 to 20 minutes. Sunlight is really good at killing viruses,” Nicholls said.

His view is corroborated by a virologist at Germany’s Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research, Thomas Pietschmann.

Pietschmann said the coronavirus is “not very heat-resistant, which means that the virus quickly breaks down when temperatures rise.”

Moukandjo:
See this man! Who wants to laugh with one who lies so much before & digresses when caught? Nawa o!
Point is it is not so easy to stop flights from everywhere just like that. No be so them dey do am. The examples of countries who you tried to claim were proactive before your lies were busted didn't do anything better than what Buhari did. If you want to attack the man for not closing borders at the time you want, attack am. No dey add yeye comparisons with other countries wey no follow just to justify the insult.

I even shock say you no also mention US, UK & those other big big "saner climes" them wey una dey always mention...

I didn’t lie at all. It was an obvious oversight which I immediately easily corrected by adding “Italian”.
So what made it so easy to stop flights now?? It took two seconds - but back then they even refused to institute even ordinary mandatory quarantine of people from hot zones - it is a crime against humanity!
U people keep citing US and UK. US instituted a ban on China in January, and a ban on Milan and Italy in February! Note the dates in the screenshot below

This is stating the glaringly obvious. Even his most ardent supporters admit it.

What are you trying to say?

I am trying to say that Nigerians should stop acting like India is a corona hot zone, when, going by their gigantic size, they have practically no corona

Moukandjo:
Indias first case from Italy was specified, bro. You just needed to lie to drive home your point.
And don't mind me, bro.
January 30 = February, not January anymore.
You really need to apologize for lying, bro.
So if India "banned flights from Italy" the next day, how come a 3 year old baby came in with Corona virus almost 1 week after the supposed ban? Abi the flight wey the baby take sneak in?No need to force that lie, bro. They didn't "ban flight from Italy" the next day.
You also need to tell us how long it took India before it banned flights from the China that gave them their first case.

By the way, I dont understand why you mentioned Thailand banning flights from Italy that they haven't gotten as much cases from. That's the real cunning, bro.
You go like remind us how long it took Thailand also to ban flights from the China that gave them many of their cases?


South Africa instituted ban after they'd already discovered how many cases of Corona virus in their country? Remind me abeg

Chairman I wish I could shine teeth with u but I’m really not in the mood.
Oil is now at $20 a barrel, meanwhile our wonderful govt just announced they’ve been trying to adjust from the $57 they budgeted to $30. No one told them it is now $20.

Let’s just agree on this:

IF ONLY BUHARI HAD CLOSED OUR BORDERS LONG AGO LIKE EVERYONE WAS BEGGING HIM TO DO...

Now that they have closed them has the world ended??

kingsamosy:
as at today india has 152 active cases

India is 1.4 billion
Nigeria is 190 million
India is 7 times population of 9ja

Italy is 60 million;
475 people died in Italy from covid19 just yesterday alone!
