The truth, the lies about Covid-19 Virus.

Listen, there is too much fear and hysteria going on in Nigeria concerning this disease. This has got to stop.

Do you know that some people think that because the disease has no cure, everyone who got it will surely die?

Some people even believe that the Virus is airborne, which explains why they cover their noses and mouth while walking along the road?

Now get the facts;

1. About 500,000 thousand people got the disease worldwide, 23500 died.
The rest simply recovered.

Yes, 23500 deaths in 5months is on the high side. And that is because the Virus spreads so fast.

2. 90% of those killed by the Virus are elderly people whose Lungs are very week to bear the onslaught from this Cold related virus.
The young people who have died so far are also people who have Lung related sicknesses already.

And yes, we don't want all these people to die because we love them. But we are also helping them when we deal with the fear factor

3. How severe is the sickness caused by this virus?
Let's get the answer from Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta who just recovered from the Covid-19 sickness;

"In terms of symptoms, it was a normal virus for me. I had three or four days which were a little bit difficult, with a bit of a temperature and a dry cough, and some discomfort in my chest. That was it". - Mikel Arteta

What Arteta is saying here is that our good old Malaria is more severe than Corona.
Forget the television pictures of Oyibo covered up with clothes and shivering like chickens beating by rain. It is because they are not used to Malaria and other things we suffer here to

Need I say more?
Ladies and gentlemen, the Corona virus causes Flu sickness. That means cold related sickness.
Do you even know that cough and catarrh are Flu caused by a virus?
Do you even know that Catarrh has no cure just like Corona?

You treat Catarrh by continuously dealing with the symptoms that shows up, until the Virus lives out it's lifespan and dies off.

4. This Virus can enter your body, live out it's lifespan and die off without you knowing that it was there.

5. For those that got it, what the hospitals do is to continue treating the symptoms (cold, fever, dry throat, etc) until the virus ends it's lifespan and clears out.

6. The reason sufferers are taken to special clinics is to prevent the Virus from spreading, and to have access to ventilators for those that have Lung/breathing problems. that's all.

7. The reason why the world is shaking is because this Virus is so contagious, spreads so fast, and therefore can send an entire city to sick bed in a week.
But in terms of mortality rate Malaria in Africa is higher.

So, it is good that we intensify all efforts to stop the spread of this disease. A healthy people is a strong people.
But let's stop the fear and the misinformation going on. Fear kills faster than the real Corona itself.

make fear and hunger no come kill pass the virus

Truth be told, I've never been panicky over the virus itself. What I've been apprehensive about is the current economic fallout, viz. economies nosediving, food scarcity and shortage, restricted movement, etc.

And in a country like ours, well, this spells disaster.

How true is dis na God go save us for dis country

Hmm... whatever and however, I'm still of the opinion that the outcome and after-effect of this mondiale issue is to be feared more.
