RiyadhGoddess:
Ok so I have just shared this on a nairalander's thread where he complained of having cold and I thought I should also open a thread and share it to everyone out there who might be in the same shoes I was last week.

I understand that a lot of people are panicking now especially those with the coronavirus symptoms and are very much afraid to go check themselves because of all that is being said in the news or media. If you are in such situation, I will advise you to step out of panic, go to the nearest health center and get yourself tested instead of allowing panic take control of you.

Let me tell you all a story of what happened to me last week. I already shared it in my chat room though.

On monday while making arrangements for our TVC shoot, I all of a sudden fell ill. My temperature went up and I started feeling feverish. I quickly handed over to one of my team mate to oversee the work, then I left for the house.

On Tuesday, Wednesday I couldn't go out because I was too weak. Walking for 5 minutes became hell for me because I felt weak and dizzy when walking. I almost asked my whatsapp family what could be the cause of what's happening to me but I didn't want to create panic so I didn't. What I had in mind was malaria, or shortness of blood but my colleague checked me and said I have blood so I just concluded maybe I need to rest because I've been under stress lately.

Thursday we left Lagos for Abuja for our presentation. I was okay anyway. Friday morning I was fine too.

After presentation on Friday, my whole body system changed. My body was hot, I was feverish, having discomfort in the throat, headache and weakness.
Each time it felt like I needed to clear my throat, I would cough mildly to avoid panic amongst my colleagues and everyone present. My close colleagues teased me about having coronavirus knowing that we had just had a presentation on the virus that Friday morning.

That Friday, I lost count of my urination because I kept on going to the convenience every 5 minutes to pee and that's because I drank lots of hot water due to the irritation I was having in my throat. I became worried but my colleague told me to calm down that my frequent urination was due to the cold conference room. His words helped a bit...

The more I read the media especially on Nairaland, the more fear gripped me and there was usually this cold chill in me. I remember reading a thread on Nairaland where a lady gave a vivid story of how she got the virus, symptoms and date. At a point while reading, I felt my whole legs going numb and almost had panic attack. The more I read the news that Friday night the more I shook with fear then this numb feelings in my whole body and felt like I was going to pass out. So I forced myself to stay away from the media.

One Aboki had coughed on me severally even though I turned my face away inside a korope bus, conductor had spat on me while shouting bus stops and asking for money, a passenger had placed her sweaty arm pit on me in a bid to bring out her money, a drug seller had washed his sweat with his finger on me after shouting and hustling his Ghana seed medicines at the populated motor park and of course not to forget, in the Okrika market where I do business, lots of body jamming and these Igbo boys pulling of hands mixed with all sorts of salivas from different mouths... All of these rang in my head which made me panic more. I began to ask myself, "Shile you didn't have HIV is it coronavirus that you will now have?"

That friday night before going to bed, I called my colleagues and asked could it be coronavirus? They all laughed obviously I must have said it in a very funny manner.

Anyway I picked my phone to chat my Daddy.
I said "Dad I think I have the virus". My dad said which virus and I said coronavirus. My dad couldn't control his laughter. I told him see what is happening to me, he kept on laughing.
They all believed my mind was playing pranks on me.

Then I understood what I have been reading on the media was beginning to have an effect on me to the point that it has now replaced the promises of God in my life.

I remembered the psalmist said "The Lord is my Shepherd...I shall fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff comforts me..."
I prayed to God to take control. Following day, my temperature was already reduced except for the weakness and I couldn't feel the discomfort in my throat.

We packed and left for the airport. During check, I was asked to step aside.

Obviously my temperature was high even though it feels warm to me but the thermometer detected it.

I was asked some questions upon questions in an office and my answers were NO. I have not come in contact with anyone who just arrived into the country whatsoever except for my public movements in Lagos.

The lady told me to isolate myself for 14 days for possible check and if there's anything, I should call the numbers given to me but by the time we were done, my colleagues had left me behind.
I rescheduled and came back to Lagos. For the first time, I summoned all courage and shared my story in my chat room on Saturday to drive all fears out of me.

This morning I met my doctor, ran some test and discovered I have malaria and a bit of typhoid which I have started medications.

I want you to know that there are lots of voices out there. Please choose wisely! Please use wisdom when deciding who to listen to. It's not every voice that is dependable at this trying moment. Please pick a few dependable information sources and stick with them. For instance, the NCDC, WHO, LSMOH are excellent.

If the news or social media is noticeably increasing your anxiety like in my own case, please limit the number of times you go on social media to read information that increases panic in you. For me, I completely stopped reading information till I got hold of myself.

Anxiety will always ask for more information. It is greedy and never satisfied. Don't fall into its trap! Also remember the Bible reminds us not to be overwhelmed by what we see. Our God is still on the throne! After the war, the Israelites came to moses and said "we counted and NO ONE IS MISSING" Number 31:49. I pray for you, From NOW till this pandemic ends, NONE will be missing in your family, among your friends and loved ones in Jesus name Amen!

Stay Safe, Wash More & Panicless. Panic kills faster than the virus itself.

God Bless You.
Shile.

Thank u for dis.

Good news have dried up in this country.

how many good news v read from Nairaland over d yrs? D same with CNN, BBC etc.u know y? Good news dnt sell.Bad news deos

damon:
Let me juggle your memory a bit before you drag me into your ”world“. The post is about a guy who came into Nigeria 2weeks ago before countries began imposing travel restrictions, and his friend is here to make some findings for him. You could have kept quiet if you had no valuable information to give him. But instead you went ahead to blame the guy as if his trip to Nigeria was after the travel restrictions. Next time if you don’t have any valuable thing to say, just keep quiet. You don’t have to always comment. And btw, people are still traveling (US citizens or not). Unfortunately, his trip was classified as ”non-essential”, which I expect that you will know is a subjective terminology. You cannot blame him for trying to make the trip. Secondly, schools in the US are not on total shutdown as you are once again confidently declaring. They only moved classes, exams, etc. online. Lecturers and administrative staff are still going to work in the less affected cities. In some places, hostels are still opened to students. Lastly, I am sure if I look into your other apocalyptic claims, I might possibly find that they are another fiction of some self-acclaimed intelligent guy’s mind.

take it easy bro.Na coranovirus cause wahala

Gent009:
Hi Nairalanders,

A close contact of mine was today denied travel from Nigeria to USA at Nigeria Airport, stating at this time they only allow Citizens and Green Cards holders. As they deem the rest nonessential travel.

He's an F1 visa holder and only came back to Nigeria 2wks ago (Spring break) for some family emergency.

Has anyone been able to fly back to the US this past week or last week?

What has been your experience flying from Nigeria to USA this week? All information are needed please.

Thanks,

it will difficult for F1 visa holder to travel now.New rules r being laid out everyday because of d coranovirus .besides trump is very erratic. I won't advice anybody to travel from Us for now cause things can change quickly.

Rapmoney:
Why are you placing your hopes on assistance from scientists? I thought you have already called on God to heal the land?

Religion is truly a scam.

Religion is nt a scam.Na d some of players b d scammers

Sparkies85:
Thank goodness, because if this virus ever finds it's way to the north, Iran and Italy will be a child s play to compare what will b happening over there .
.
In fact Italy and Iran go even dey pity Nigeria , they may even b sending aid to Nigeria.

Ran back from the US on Tuesday thinking Nigeria is safer, though I haven't heard of any affected person here in Onitsha

I am even contemplating of moving down to my village .

Lagos is so crowded for me to stay

l dnt believe u bro.u ran down US? Which part of US is dat?

Adeling:
I think doctors are also using the virus as a way of gaining from the masses and spreading unnecessary fear.
At least this ones came out negative.

BTW, does the virus take into consideration the number of people gathered in one place at a time? I mean how do you reduce the spread of a viral disease by just ordering people to not be more than 50 in any gathering. Where is the sense in this?
Well, like I've been saying before this nonsense will pass away between April/may

l dnt really think scientists know how dis virus spread.lf we want to go by what dey say den half of d world population would v been gone.D media r nt helping matter with their negativity so as to attract audience. Dis virus will go on its own.is nt drugs DAT will end it.

helinues:
Even without contracting the virus, @ 76 ?

Media sensational news about the Coronavirus is worsening the situations.

I stopped paying for cables since last weekend. I can't come and be paying for panics most especially when there are no sporting activities

I did nt stop.just dnt bother myself with local n international news anymore.concentrate on positive programs

Am nt a pharmacist but from experience in travelling I think d chloroquine Trump is talking about is different from d common one here. Is a mixture of chloroquine n HCl ( pls pharmacist in d house correct me if I am wrong). Is more expensive

Lilbest3:
CNN have been masturrbating since last two weeks now I have never seen any group of people who like bad news more than these people.

CNN,AlJEZEERA ,BBC r killing more people with their daily fearful reports dan coranovirus itself. I dnt even bother to watch dem again.

faceland:
On the side note. The coronavirus is NOT as bad as the media portray it to be. Over 98% of those who tested positive, fully recovered. 96% don't even show serious symptoms. The less than 2% who died from the virus are either over the age of 60 or were already battling with a pre-existing health condition.

So most of these are hype. I personally think I have it but lock up and went about my life. I swear to God.

l totally agree with u.Media is d main culprit but again people normally fear what dey don't understand. D world will get use it n move on.There r more deadlier diseases out there

airmark:

I boost my testosterone naturally. I see stuff brought in by guys from Naija, especially in yankee.

This one you went to study and you have started fixing dates, amidst corona virus.

Sabicleaners:
No doctors on ground in General hospitals since this morning.
Good thing, the Western countries have shut their doors to outsiders. No one is going anywhere to seek for treatment. All politicians would have to remain here and enjoy the poor health care system as the masses.

d govtment/politicians taught dey were doing us....by nt equipping our hospitals.well we r all in dis together now.Nobody is going anywhere

GloryIsaac:
They plan to play it through summer, which means no transfer window = no Sancho.

However, if the season is voided, it won't benefit United because that means we're playing in the Europa League next season while Arsenal will play in the Champions League. Then all the Bruno, Greenwood, Martial, Ighalo records bla bla bla will be voided too.

UEFA also risks losing up to $250m (within that range) if the season is voided + contracts with distributors etc..

There's so much at stake, i highly doubt they'll postpone it that far.

There is no way d season will b voided. Absolutely no way.Remove dat from yr mind.is when n nt cancellation

afrodoc2:
Na real wa. 2 of my colleagues who are in their 60s are planning to stay away from work and i can't blame them.
My wife is to start working from home tomorrow, and we have started switching more of our consultations to telehealth so that fewer patients have to be physically present at the practice.

I hope you are keeping yourself safe. Hand hygiene and social distancing is paramount. This is not the time for traveling, sightseeing, airports, public transportation, movie theaters.

loud it for him bro.

D way coranovirus is ravaging everywhere ,EPL might just b next yr .All travelling plans suspended.

Very lronic n laughable. U preach hate n death yet ur afraid to die.coranovirus v humble everybody. Suddenly sound of gun shots v gotten silenced all over d world.Everybody r now united against a common enemy.

pocohantas:
That one done finish. Take this one, try remain for Mariangeles.
