The story is pathetic if true. I still find it difficult to believe. why will you put us on suspense on this? why are you hiding information that could help a lot of people. I just believe that as a TV host you just wanna trend. Please, proof me wrong. You need to tell us how you were tested and how you were treated. This will give hope to a lot of people.

SHE DIDN'T TAKE ANY DRUG.

For those of you who believe chloroquine or azithromycin can help, I pity your life (no offence).

All those proposing or recommending the use of HCQS or Azithromycin have not been able to explain the mechanism of action of those drugs on Corona virus.

You can't just treat anything with anything, there are contraindications you should be weary off. I strongly believe, the high mortality rate (above China) in Italy is due to the use of wrong drugs in treating this virus

Let the body's immune system defend itself. Period

Exactly... Let us all keep working on preventive measures, while boosting our immune systems with good nutrition and supplements...

Nigerian Instagram Celebrity Sidney Talker also has the virus and he was referred to one hospital to the other till they all rejected him. He had to contact a Nigeria doctor based abroad who advised him on how to alievate the symptoms temporarily

Na anyone wey dey post video don become celebrity in Nigeria now. When China keeps sanitizing the road with robots, already knapsack sprayer, Nigeria can hardly manufacture, except for the visionless youths to go on IG and start licking the ass of other talentless nonentities, calling them celeb.

Nigeria tracing 4370 people who may have contacts with coronavirus patients

Nigeria is attempting to trace as many as 4370 people who may have contacts with coronavirus patients in the country.


“We have 4,370 people of interest whom we are tracing,” Nigeria’s Information Minister Lai Mohammed said at a press briefing on Thursday.

“We urge those who have had contact with suspected cases to immediately report to the authorities. We urge Nigerians to support the authorities in this regard,” he added.

https://t.guardian.ng/news/nigeria-tracing-4370-people-who-may-have-contacts-with-coronavirus-patients/

The NCDC and Federal Ministry of health needs to let the public know how many of the contacts they reached, how many of them were tested and isolated.

Whew! I've been sneezing for some time now and it's a huge relief to know that it isn't covid-19, cos I have no breathing difficulty whatsoever.

She did not take any drug does not mean the treatment does not work. She could have lost her life but the treatment has been studied by doctors and to some extent tested and gotten positive results.

Nigerian TV Host, Tobi Akingbade, Writes After Surviving COVID-19.

Shared with Caption ...

I survived coronavirus. Spent nearly 2 weeks indoors + in quarantine as my body fought it off. Yesterday, I took my first steps downstairs, headed straight to my garden + took a deep breath

Wasn’t gonna share this online but I’ve been encouraged to share hope & good news 1/18

Because a lot of us may not get access to Covid-19 testing kits and calls with NHS 111 feel scripted, I’ll share my experience. It may help someone. These were my symptoms... 2/18

Day 1: I’d been informed that I was in contact with someone who had been in contact with someone with covid-19. Nothing serious I told myself, but I decided to social distance anyway. Later I found out I’d been in direct contact with a confirmed case 5 days before. 3/18

Day 2: I develop a very dry cough. And a swollen gland I developed 2 days before Day 1 became very prominent. The cough was persistent making speaking for longer than 40 secs hard. I was extremely fatigued. I’m anaemic and well acquainted with tiredness but this was chronic 4/18

Day 3: A good night sleep did not help. My chest was painfully tight, at first I blamed work anxiety. I developed a fever (was hot + cold at the same time). I struggled to walk and my breathing became shallow + difficult. The muscles in my neck began to ache. 5/18

Day 4: The scariest day. Woke up feeling like I’d been run over by a truck in my sleep and then thrown of a cliff. The muscles in my face ached. The muscles in eyes hurt. Every muscle hurt. My persistent cough became extremely painful. Developed a painful migraine. 6/18

Day 4: Still with a fever and cough. On this day I became frightful of how my body would force itself to sleep. My breathing was worrying and I feared the worst. I called NHS 111 who confirmed my suspicions and instructed me to self-isolate in my room as I don’t live alone. 7/18

Day 5: I slept a lot. Keeping my eyes open was painful and a core. Wore sunglasses to use my phone. The sunlight made my migraine worst. My body ached and my breathing became worst. Coughing didn’t help. I could feel my lungs getting heavier, every breath got shorter. 8/18

Day 6: Painkillers did not stop the pain. Also stockpiling trends meant even my pharmacist could not help. Was scared to sleep as my breathing was not improving. Could not hold my breath for more than 2 secs. 9/18

Day 7: I became alarmed when I noticed I lost the ability to taste food. Nearly passed out brushing my teeth as it was obstructing my breathing. NHS were too overstretched to help. At this point I was begging God, I didn’t want to die this way 10/18

Day 8: Twitter said that running a humid shower would help breathing. It did for me. I drew my curtains for the 1st time, still needed sunglasses. Body aches stopped. Migraine not so persistent. Coughed less but it was a nauseous and brought up yellowy phlemg from my lungs 11/18

Day 8: Still breathless from just sitting up, sharp pains in my chest but migraine improved. Body temperature back to normal. Coughed about twice a day. Found the strength to find hope. 12/18

Day 9-12: Saw improvements slowly. Was able to hold my breath for 8 secs now. Slept less, was able to WFH at times. Called NHS again due to a scare with breathing, unable to get medical assistance but the problem solved itself. Became physically restless on Day 11 13/18

Day 13: Walked down the stairs for the first time. Thanked God and walked around my garden. Wasn’t sure I’d remember what fresh air would feel like. 14/18

I know the staff at NHS did everything they could for me with the limited resources they had. On a normal day, I would have been accepted into A&E. It was touch and go. Also, I was not tested. 15/18

I've lost several days of my life to this illness. Many others have lost their lives. You can do your part by staying at home, stop joking around & take it seriously. I’m a healthy 28 year old & it hit me hard. I’m grateful to have recovered but I will continue to do my part. 16

I might do another thread on what helped me get through it?

I’m gonna talk about the emotional side of coping with this during the next episode @YellowCupPod. It includes avoiding anxiety, my faith, prayers and positive affirmations.

I have been fighting off extreme fatigue with back pains for about 10days now.

Did not bother calling the NHS cos they are overwhelmed already and we are asked to call only in extreme symptoms.

Let me make you people laugh a bìt.

I started eating garlic and black grapes like snacks from last week Saturday which was 10days ago till date.

My confusion is that I don't have persistent cough, no difficulty in breathing at any time, very rare episodes of sneezing and very low grade fever and no soretroat.

I used hot water and salt to gaggle I used aboliki balm with hot water and even stuffed my nostrils with the balm...drank so much water, lost my sense of taste and all I just want to do is sleep sleep and sleep.

I take Panadol extra once a day since last week up till this moment.

The truth is that I have never felt this way in all my years and I have done my best, prayed in tongues, anointed my body with oil and I trust GOD to do the rest for me.

The truth is that I can't call the symptoms covid-19 But whatever it is, I will overcome it in Jesus name...AMEN

It may be covid 19, doctors says some people will have mild case they won't even notice they have the virus.
And those people are the real problem, they are the reason the virus is spreading so fast.

Natural the body fights off the deseae. For those with healthy immune system.

Many people get well after days even with no treatment.

This deseae will not kill the average wheelbarrow pusher. It only wipe out the weak. Most times the rich.

They become healthy by factors of elimination. that is they develop by eliminating as much deseae withing their space. That means most their immunity do not become strengthen by combat.

The average wheelbarrow pusher lives in slum and he works tireless under the sun dayly..he may not look it but his immunity is already prime. That is the reverse tRuth science will not tell Because the picture of health they sell is upside down

Imagine comparing a zoo lion to a wild lion. Now you get the picture.

You must be a type O blood group. Scientists say a type O blood group under normal health conditions and proper diet will survive and may show no symthoms till recovery as their blood would completely fight off the virus but they can transmit the virus while their system is yet to fight it off. Other blood group needs medical assistance to survive...

Thank God for you!

Ppl should be mindful of what they do. A friend nearly lost her sister to this craze of chloroquine, lime, ginger, garlic and all the things said to cure covid 19. she lost memory and ran mad and was convulsing. All hospitals rejected her and told them to go to teaching hospital. On the way to teaching hospital, she passed out. Why will you take chloroquine? You don't have covid naa? Chloroquine I will conclude the story much later in my diary .

We should be careful of our action and inactions. Self prescription on account of info passed on social media has killed more ppl in Naija than covid 19.
