Madagascar on Sunday reported the first death of a patient suffering from novel coronavirus nearly two months after it was first detected in the country, official statistics showed.

The Indian ocean island which has reported 304 cases has hit the headlines over a home-grown herbal concoction that President Andry Rajoelina claims can cure people infected with the virus.

Several African countries have ordered or expressed interest in the purported remedy, which is known as Covid-Organics.

The tonic drink is derived from artemisia — a plant with proven efficacy in malaria treatment — and other indigenous herbs.

But the World Health Organization has warned against “adopting a product that has not been taken through tests to see its efficacy”.

So?

The ones that have died in Nigeria also have some underlying illnesses.

The herbal drink does not mean people won't die again but to help reduce the fatality.

Diabetes and high blood pressure related to covid-19??

Acidosis:



There's still no proof that they haven't lied to you about previous cases.


That's why sane people (not the educated illiterates) are calling for clinical trials and scientific confirmations.

Diabetes and high blood pressure related to covid-19??

Acidosis:


No, a Covid19 patient could also have other underlying illnesses like diabetes, HBP, malaria, HIV, Etc.

Stephenomozzy:


Neither is there proof that they may have lied to you.

Of course, any one who is sane would still call for such health products to be subjected to scientific scrutiny to ensure it doesn't do more harm than good.
