primeache:
I want to commend you for this video.
It is educational.
However, you need to improve on the video coverage. For instance, when you were analysing how the kidney function, focus should be on the diagram and not on you.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers

Noted sir. Thank you so much. I will work on that.

CanadaOrBust:
Very simple and very obvious. It is the warm humid weather and hot sun. It has been SCIENTIFICALLY proven that corona (like the flu) does not survive long in WARM humid places. Add to that the immune boosting VITAMIN D from our hot sun and corona doesn’t stand a chance. It is not only Africa or blacks, South America and Caribbean too, any poor place with such conditions, for same reason. See below. (I add “poor” because too much air conditioning and corona will spread indoors, inside hospitals and such!)

Noted. In fact there is now a latest upadate, that all the worst hit countries are located on Latitude 40degrees - connoting a more geographic input in the spread.

Jakumo:
Odoctor and Chief Canada sirs, I too have been pondering this mystery, about why Africa has been spared the devastation of Corona Virus mortality, and your very insightful posts have offered enlightened perspective into the possible reasons why Africa, South America and the Caribbean nations remain unscathed, while the rest of this planet is being terrorized and methodically depopulated by this horrible contagion.

Most certainly it MUST be the hot weather, rather than a genetically encoded advantage, that is protecting the African continent, because Africans and even Nigerians already number among the victims and fatalities of the Corona Virus that have been recorded in Europe thus far. I am aware of at least one medical doctor of 100% Nigerian parentage, who recently died from Corona virus infection, in Italy, jut a few days ago, and this suggests that in cold weather, Corona virus can infect and kill ANY human being, with equal likelihood irrespective of racial composition or skin pigmentation.

So, in conclusion, those who complain about the current heat wave in Nigeria and Africa, should count their lucky stars that they reside in Africa, and not in the northern hemisphere where winter weather currently prevails.

I agree with you. The victims of black race/African origin proves the fact of a non genetic advantage.

Secondly, I also feel that it is being underreported, by major media outlets. Would it have been so if the reverse was the case?

Next time remove N. Korea from your list

Noted sir.

It is well. 2023 is far away. Life first.

God, Thank you for sacrificing yourself in that cross so that our sins can be erased.

Father, God, we are your children, formed for your purpose, all we should ask for is the opportunity to glorify your name.

But we are weak, father God, we are sinners. We forget to trust you. Father God, please remove grief from the our hearts and of of their loved ones. Please remove keening from our mouths. Please open our heart, comfort us with joy, peace and understanding so we can't even begin to grieve your spirit.

God please shine your light and keep it shone on this situation so we can remember that you are the most high. That you sent your only begotten son on this Earth to suffer hunger, temptation, sorrow, lashings, head crowned with thorns, Carried a cross, nailed and hung on the cross, Sinless, innocent, perfect between two criminals.

And as he said, even when he asked for the cup to be passed over, he says ITS NOT BY OUR WILL, BUT YOUR WILL. Please teach us to have this faith and courage so we can be like Jesus.

To the families affected. Ndo. Sorry. God is in charge. I pray for the departed that they see eternal glory and for their loved ones that the God comforts them. Amen

Amen. Thank you very much.

May God grant the family the fortitude, to bear the irreparable loss. Amen.

I have always watched how western countries bring out time to mourn their people in times of disasters.

Please let's replicate same here.

The major question we all should ask ourselves is this. Why is there no media coverage on the disproportionate distribution of the morbidity and mortality of this virus which apparently spares people of African ancestry?

What is the deal there? Can they claim that they aren't observing this same trend. Are they blind? Why the silence? Or are they too big to accept that the answer may lie in us, our genes. Is that sl hard to accept that we, the blacks, may literally be the saviours of this modern world?

Well, that's their business because anyone with common sense should have deduced by now that more health workers of African ancestry should be employed ASAP to take care of their sick.
Whatever cure they are working on should involve black volunteers and to provide herd immunity which they desperately need, they may want to reconsider the visa ban and literally give away visas to encourage immigration after an agreement has been reached to cater to our needs. Because at the end of it all, the economy will collapse if there is noone on their streets..the robots can only do so much. They need us and they know it.

Lofty thoughts but I am sure the line of logic is valid

Wow, a very different approach to the whole saga. White man and his superiority complex, even some media outlets that have spoken, are attributing it to mere chance. All the same, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Destiny is only delayed.

Thanks so much for your contributions

Nothing spectacular

Nice info

uzohrome:
Nice one brother and very informative... Keep it up

Thank you. This your appreciation will go a long way. God bless you.

That's a nice thing to do. Hoping that the population whom the message is meant for, will read it.

Most Nigerian youths are so glued with Facebook and Instagram to the extent that life doesn't seem to exist out social media. Its a pity.



Meanwhile, I personally have an advice for all, in commemoration of the World Kidney day celebrated yesterday.

Then on another note:
How come Africa of all places seems to be the golden hen with the golden egg?

How come Africa, the poverty capital of the World?

How come Africa, the most undeveloped, the third world, the dirtiest, the most backward in medicine and health care…
How come the race that has always been victim of all forms of disease and disaster is yet to record a casualty when the “ogas” in civilization and development (China, Italy, Iran, US, UK, N/S Korea, etc) are helpless?

Is it incidental or mere coincidence?

Accident or Providence?

Human or divine?

Natural or supernatural?

Genetic or Environmental?

chance or plan?

Your thoughts in this thread please:

If only money can buy everything, however, money answereth all things, on earth.

Not bad. A friend in need.

Its enough. We need to concentrate on out health and corona virus now.

Free

Is Nigeria an Emirate?

Is he trying to obey the minister of Interior, Aregbesola?

The video is not yet as refined as I want it. That's my first. Kindly forgive. Trying to combine size and quality, but subsequent ones will be better.

Your reactions - comments, questions, criticisms are welcome.

Actually yesterday was the day I should have posted this, because the kidney day was actually yesterday; but time and other engagements with patients could not allow that to materialise.

Be that as it may, it is better late than never. As a matter of fact, no time is late.

Note: the video is just a tip of the iceberg. It is an abridged version of the whole kidney story.

You may wish to read the full length article here:

All men can stand adversity. Life is full of suprises and predictions. There is life after life eventually. All is vanity, said the preacher.

Meanwhile, there is an important task am working on now.

What are your thoughts?

https://www.nairaland.com/5728009/coronavirus-untold-story-africa-black

Whatever be the case, it is well. Man know thyself.

I guess we should be more occupied with virus that has plagued the world and seek God.

Pls I have a pressing issue, a research question, help me provide some answers:

sorry

What is your source?

How come there are cases in Africa already if genetically, we are immune?

Immunity to corona if any, should be geographic or environmental
https://www.nairaland.com/5728009/coronavirus-untold-story-africa-black#87355911

Yes, because investors will be afraid.

Ok

Lalasticlala, pls could you give this a wider coverage?

Stop this baseless argument and conspiracy theories.
When it comes to flu and certain other diseases, the weather/climate has a big role to play. It has nothing to do with skin colour.
Blacks abroad are also being infected, but their relatively younger age and absence of co-morbidities(most blacks abroad are relatively younger and healthier than their counterparts at home) may be the reason none has died so far.

I never said corona has a black/white skin colour discrepancy... I only said, so many if not all diseases have ethnic biases.

1StopRudeness:
From past data, there’s no documented evidence that Diseases have respect for race or color...Evident from HIV, cancer, malaria, arthritis, influenza, typhoid....etc...
So we can conclude without fallacy it isn’t very likely that blacks are sort of less susceptible since blacks abroad are getting it...

so the closest guess is “region”...the European weather & environment which is fa outing the thriving of the virus than that of the African continent

Errhm, sir, are you sure? I feel its not so. There are so many documented evidences of diseases respecting color/race...in fact all the diseases u mentioned - malaria, typhoid, cancer, HIV, all have racial disparity.

360command:
2 reported cases in Burkina Faso.

so I heard. But am working with a statistics collated on Sunday, 8th march, 2020

leksgcfr:
The number of days the index cases in Africa are barely 14 days. As you heard and read in the news yesterday, Nigeria declared a second case from the index which means more could be reported in the coming days followed by news of their improvement or otherwise.

Yet Africa still leads in low incidence of the disease. So in other words u think its a mere coincidence?
