mightyleks:No, but we know how it goes judging from their antecedents. |
Funny how a 2017 event can suddenly resurrect and go viral online again. |
LadySarah:He said he didn't take it seriously and forgot. Probably the type that will tell you Covid 19 does not exist. |
Le chambre de la Bête ------ Chamber of the Beast. |
FunkyAlhaji2015:It's a python. i've held a couple with my hands. Puff adder has a rougher looking scale texture. |
fragrant:no one would have gotten harmed. except some stray fowl and its eggs. |
let's have small mercy for our pythons na. shuo!! |
Thank God I saw this. I received a message today And perhaps they've changed their scheme to some "anti fraud payment system" certification that Will pay you up to a million Naira when completed. Oh, And you'll have to do some three hours training to get certified and later join some WhatsApp group. The site Admins are twistedly creative.

solonazzy:Well, in MOST other countries it's not like that. But has the potential if the infection rate continues unchecked. Brazil is a glaring case study on how not to handle a pandemic. |
Grandmeister:I'm referring to those that don't believe the covid exists at all. For now, Africa has the lowest covid mortality worldwide. |
bluefilm:Not just Google but credible news reports from Brazil and their outcry for help. The virus affects different countries And climes differently. There are many factors ranging from environmental, genetic, demographics,diet etc. We're still neck deep in the pandemic and the virus is novel, a lot is still being learnt |
Thetruthshallse:We were fortunate in the Ebola case as we were able to capture the index case who collapsed at the airport. Almost all the other cases were healthcare workers that attended to him. The dead bodies on the streets ish actually happened in Liberia and Sierra Leone during the Ebola crisis. Officially, 12,000 people died in there including Guinea. And those were just recorded cases. |
bluefilm:Please Google and see the graves being dug in Brazil. The common flu virus in previous years claimed below 2000 lives a year there, but as at today the covid is claiming over a thousand DAILY. Yes, the common flu and SARS-cov- 2 are in same family of viruses but they are different strains. |
NOwazobia:The precaution is up to everyone. NCDC is doing their job of updating the stats And running Tests,etc. |
gurunlocker:Right from the early days of the pandemic, it was stated that those with underlying health conditions are More likely to die of covid 19. In that case, the disease won't waste Much time ending such person. Nothing New here. |
aragonchuks:The media (mainstream mass media) never made it look like a death sentence. They gave out guidelines on social distance and hand washing. It's the market women and beer parlour media that gave it another hue. |
NOwazobia:Precaution is key. The president of Brazil took it for granted And now Brazil is topping the league. |
galadima77:The insult is warranted. It's a called a pandemic for a reason but somehow some people feel the virus has spread to all countries of the world except Nigeria. |
Jabioro:Please run your own test And determine the real cause of death. You don't negate claims by blind doubt. |
Front page please. Let's argue a bit. |
During a call with reporters on Wednesday, the billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates shrugged off baseless conspiracy theories about him being behind a plot to use vaccines to implant tracking microchips in people. "I've never been involved any sort of microchip-type thing," he said, adding, "It's almost hard to deny this stuff because it's so stupid or strange." Gates has for years sounded the alarm about the dangers of pandemics and urged world leaders, including Donald Trump in late 2016, to take stronger steps to prepare for one. He famously gave a TED Talk in 2015 that warned of the potentially staggering death toll of a worldwide pandemic. Citing that talk and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's $300 million commitment to fight COVID-19 and develop a vaccine, some right-wing fringe groups and pundits began spreading misinformation online in January that Gates was somehow behind the virus' creation and wanted to profit from it. "It is good to know which kids have had a measles vaccine and which have not," Gates said, adding that "there are needed systems" like health records to help healthcare workers identify who has been immunized — but that no microchips were involved whatsoever. "Our foundation gets money to buy vaccines," he said. "That's why we saw the risk of a pandemic and spoke out." Still, coronavirus-related conspiracy theories about Gates exploded on social media and TV: They were mentioned 1.2 million times from February to April, the media intelligence firm Zignal Labs told The New York Times. In a survey in late May conducted by Yahoo News and YouGov, 28% of Americans said they thought the conspiracy theory was true, while 44% of Republicans and 50% of people who primarily watch Fox News viewers said they thought it was true. (By contrast, 61% of people who primarily watch MSNBC said it was false.)

(By contrast, 61% of people who primarily watch MSNBC said it was false.) When asked about the poll, Gates said that he found it "a little bit concerning" but that it hadn't prevented governments and other groups across the globe from funding efforts to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. However, he did express some concern that when a vaccine is found, anti-vaccine sentiment could make it harder to reach herd immunity, or when enough of a population is immune to a pathogen that it prevents it from spreading further. Gates also argued that when vaccines are ready to manufacture, they should be distributed first to countries with weaker healthcare infrastructure and where social distancing is less feasible. His foundation on Thursday announced an additional $1.6 billion pledge over the next five years to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to immunize children in low-income countries. "The world needs to work together to develop safe and effective vaccines and make sure that we scale up the manufacturing so we can get them out to those need them the most, not necessarily those who can pay the most," he said. https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-vaccine-conspiracy-theories-are-stupid-2020-6?amp

topedoski:Data science, Machine learning, artificial intelligence. Gather as much of the mentioned skills online before you graduate to backup your degree. They are all founded on the principles of statistical algorithms. |
So, is it still caused by 5G? |
BotherMleeper:Ohhh.... OK. |
BotherMleeper:It is. There have been worse pestilences in the past. It's not even as deadly as ebola which is just one or two mutations away from causing Armageddon scale destruction worldwide. |
Heavensent01:Read the stats well, there are over 8000 confirmed cases |
Davash222:Every death? Do you know the thousands that die daily of other diseases?. I know you're likely being sarcastic but someone out there might be stupid enough to believe you and ignore personal safety. |
eventsinmotion:No test, no results... Simple. |
boookworm:It's a New virus. We've got to take all necessary preventive measures before we can confirm it's potency. So far it has a 3 percent mortality rate , judging by the pathetic testing rate here. You can imagine the real numbers. Don't forget that literally half of Nigerians bury the dead before dawn. |
plucky16:That's exactly what happened in Italy and Spain. Although in a worse level. |
