cococandy: If u can get bitter kola, chew it consistently. Give your hubby too. U can prepare honey and lemon drink for little one. Anything to boast immune system and has anti viral properties will do. It's well. There is a popular nairalander here in one thread who contacted it. Shit is real. 5 Likes |

Sigh: I am definitely restive, demotivated and kinda scared - never being this scared in my life (poverty that I experienced growing up no fear me reach this one). I am in Charlottesville, VA, USA pursuing my studies at UVA. How am I coping: (a) My ass is 100% seated at home (b) I wash my hand almost every 30 mins (not sure if I am over-doing this but I know I am not ready to die yet) (c) I am currently attending classes online (d) I catch up with news on twitter via CNN, BBC, Washington post, Financial times, WHO, Business insider, and via other people's handle to stay abreast of all the happenings (e) I sometimes sleep to escape reality. I also play video games, watch movies and CR7 youtube videos to supplement my escape from reality (f) I reach out to my family and friends to maintain my sanity. I also try to sensitize people who needs it (g) I sometimes reflect on life and try to be grateful. I wish the dead ones eternal peace (watching the video of those Italian coffins is disheartening) (h) I have come to a realization that government all over the world ain't shit. I repeat, government ain't shit and they're treating us all like scapegoat. (i) Meanwhile, I realized impossible is nothing as I managed to eat "eba" with "vegetable and boiled egg". My chicken finished and couldn't visit the grocery stores. I think this is when I started getting de-motivated. Lastly, please stay SAFE by practicing all the necessary measures that have been issued by organizations like WHO to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Try to sensitize people if you think they need it too. #Peace 9 Likes |

Sassy, I’m doing the honey and lemon tea for myself. Kiddie won’t drink it. I tried. But So far she’s fine. I disinfect everything outside before coming into the house. Un;dress in the garage. and cleanse inside/outside of any car I drive to work before bringing them into the garage. Constant disinfection. It’s tedious but if that’s what will save us. We have no choice One of the doctors I work with doesn’t see his kids anymore, he’s living outside the home and goes to work from there. Until all this is over. wish I could do that. I won’t be surprised if I’ve already been exposed and our immunity is just protecting us dayleke: sassysure: 4 Likes |

In France, its stay at home(indoor). All shops locked. Only very big supermarkets are open. Each time you want to buy foodstuffs, you fill a form before leaving your house. No choice. |

What did I say wrong? My post was just removed now sharing my experience where I live. This is scary, I just read last night that the media will be censoring any post that contradicts WHO (I haven't even said anything about WHO, at least not yet)but never thought it will happen here on nairaland. There you go peeps! If there's nothing else behind this why are certain comments deleted? 2 Likes |

In a way yes e.g. Chicago continues to provide food to students from low income who would usually get free lunch in schools, and you have the usual food banks etc for people who are in need. You have unemployment benefits for people who lose their jobs although it's a small amount (depending on how much you earn) and will not cover all your bills but at least if push comes to shove it can feed you and your family. The federal government is trying to pass a bill that bails out some companies and provides help to people to limit the number of people who are laid off and one of the main points of the bill is to provide between $1k to $2k to people. The final terms are yet to be confirmed though different media have come up with lots of speculation. Zinny25: |

To be honest it's very difficult at the moment. I live in the UK and just 30min ago the PM announced a national lockdown. Schools, pubs, restaurants,religious places, parks and nonessential goods shops are to be closed but the supermarket and other shops that sell essential goods are open but the commodities are rationed to reach everyone especially the keyworkers. The staff population are divided into Essential/keyworkers and nonessential workers with the latter asked to work from home. Keyworkers include Healthcare workers, police,transport service staff, essential shop workers, some designated teachers etc. Everyone is ordered to stay at home and avoid gathering of more than 2 people. Every child stays at home except children of the keyworkers who can be dropped in schools hence the need for the designated teachers. Other kids are taught by their parents/guardians and also learn online with their teachers. The vulnerable people ie People >70years of age, pregnant women and others with underlying health conditions are asked to stay at home but will get letters from their GPs/specialists to discuss their care but first over the phone if needed and to make provisions for the supply of their medications via the community pharmacies. I'm a healthcare personnel and unfortunately is much exposed to the virus but just like everyone, I observe the protective guidelines, use PPE (personal protective equipments) when required, use face mask while on transit and hope for God's grace not to get infected or even at worst not to come down with severe disease. Unfortunately, we can't all be tested as much as we would love to but the testing kits are scarce and would be used only for people that fits into the NHS guidelines. When off as with most people at home, I watch netflix, news, cook and sleep (how man go do naa?). However the populace are relieved cos the Govt promised to pay every nonessential worker 80% of their salary every month but not more than £2500 and they are also enacting measures to ensure self employed people do not suffer as well as reducing interest rates; advised private employers not to retrench their staff while also pumping more than £300bn to boost the economy. They are also expanding food production to ensure people don't go hungry and have manufacturers increase their production of ventillators and PPE devices to aid sick patients and healthcare workers respectively... It's not easy at the moment but together we shall conquer as we keep taking it one day at a time while heeding to the Govt's and medical staff plea... Na my long summary be this� 9 Likes 3 Shares |
