Same here too.
-Sneezing
-Malaria
-Sore throats
- catarrh
- Loss of smell and Taste.

Treatment:
Inhaling steam from boiling water laced with robb. Anti malaria and antibiotics. And for the smell and teste, strepsils on intervals. Lime and lemon grass with honey tea, works like a charm.

Wow. Interesting . About a week ago I fell ill and went to the hospital . After all tests they didn’t find anything so they gave me antibiotic .Then my wife fell ill . She was given malaria drugs and When my case wasn’t improving, I took malaria drugs too .

Then she lost her sense of smell and taste. Then I had slight difficulty breathing . When I took a deep breath, my upper chest would hurt. We were both down for a little over a week. I’ve never experienced such in my life
Family doctor said it wasn’t coro sha. Though we are better now .

Could it be something else was going around? Health practitioners in the house over to you

You could have asked him what was it then? If all these symptoms you mentioned are not Coro symptoms, what is it? He said that because it wasn't serious enough to get you guys hospitalised.

Now, I understand why we're not seeing people dropping dead on the streets despite the fact that it had been with us for over two months now. And that's what is making many Nigerians doubting its existence in Nigeria

"Immunity passports" in the context of COVID-19Scientific Brief

24 April 2020

WHO has published guidance on adjusting public health and social measures for the next phase of the COVID-19 response.1 Some governments have suggested that the detection of antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could serve as the basis for an “immunity passport” or “risk-free certificate” that would enable individuals to travel or to return to work assuming that they are protected against re-infection. There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection

Bro, that's malaria, that's not Covid-19. If Covid-19 hits, you'll definitely know the difference. Don't let anyone deceive you that you just recovered from Covid-19.

In the meantime, keep protecting yourself from the real virus and practice your social distance.

Lol. It means that you haven't read enough or updated your knowledge about covid-19. Malaria doesn't cause sore throat and it doesn't cause loss of smell either but covid-19 does. In fact, just loss of smell and taste is the only symptoms that asymptomatic patients would experience. They don't call them asymptomatic for fun

I'm afraid earlier though, it started with headache which I don't experience before, then I lost my sense of taste and smell. It's been about 3weeks now but am recovering gradually. I've done crazy things to get my sense of smell back, things like smelling kerosene, dettol, fuel and my air freshener but it all negative, thank God am recovering now, I didn't even take any drugs, I only took paracetamol and eat enough fruits like watermelon and orange.

This experience is strange.

Definitely yes. All the people saying the same thing like you are the part of 80% patients who would never show serious symptoms and don't need to visit hospitals even if they are confirmed as having COVID-19. Congrats

WHO has made a u-turn on that statement since. I watched it live on aljazera.

Meanwhile look at South Korea (the best country as far as fighting covid-19 is concerned) has to say about it

They are not the only authorized body on health issues. Many health agencies in advanced countries has far more authority concerning health issues than WHO. WHO is just a world health coordinating body. All the recommendations comes from national health authorities.

You are recovering from malaria and not Covid-19. Trust me, when Covid-19 comes around, you will know the difference.
You don’t understand that’s why you’re saying this. Nigerians have been having malaria from time immemorial. How can everyone be complaining about the same thing becos we all know that this is different. When you experience panic attacks at night just before you sleep and it feels like you can’t breathe and the tickling one the nose and the throat. Don’t forget, you’ll experience malaria symptoms just a week before it starts. I’ve talked to about 10 people that I’ve not been in contact with since this year. They are all experiencing the same thing. My friend in the UK, experienced the same. This is probably signs of the asymptotic covid

Wow! Me too. It started with malaria symptoms, then I couldn't taste nor smell anything

I've recovered though.

But it's a scary experience
EXACTLY the way it happened to me.
It started with malaria.
For the very first time in my life, I lost my senses of taste and smell without any nasal blockage.
It started with loss of smell, then 'taste' follow suit, accompanied with ached eye balls
So tey, I made efo riro with a whole lot of fried locust bean & onions, I perceive nada.
I cook beans with plenty balls of sliced onions, same....
V.scary experience, I must say...
At a point, I was even thinking of how to self isolate, bet HOW? ,with me and hubby in the house...#lol#
I bless God, I discovered both are back just this evening. Being the 10th day.
DH was so happy, as he's been zo scared.
IT WAS A V.SCARY EXPERIENCE.

As a healthcare worker in one of the busiest goverment hospitals in Lagos I can actually confirm a lot of people have covid. Our youthful population has been helpful. I also notice that a lot of people with uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes are dying .Ask any community pharmacists. Malaria drugs are selling like hot cake

I heard the good news is that kids heals from it

I don Google symptoms of Corona tire and they all match

It's really becoming scary for me
