Someone also just died of MALARIA bro. It's as real as MALARIA, nothing special. In fact, if u see the stats of people that die every day of MALARIA, u go shock.

I'm in Abuja and got the news of his demise. I called his line twice but no response. Here in Abuja, I'm yet to see who has died in my neighbourhood except the high profile ones we see/hear in the news

He might have died of something else

There are 7 billion people in the world it would take 225 years to meet every single person for just 1 second.

Do think at this rate of 4 million confirmed worldwide everyone would know someone?

I didn't personally meet a HIV positive person that I knew of until I worked in a hospital. Does that mean HIV isn't real?

Stop reasoning like a kid.

In New York City of 20 odd million people?

In the West you can live in same building for 20 years without knowing each other. In big Western cities a neighbour one floor above you can die without you knowing. You think it is 9ja where people will come and be crying up and down? shocked

Someone I know, a Healthcare staff, died and it took me weeks to know.

Other people I know spent weeks in ICU but recovered. I did not know until one was discharged and the other just days before being discharged.

The scenario out there is horrific.

If Nigeria was a country with visa free travel to UK, EU, USA, China and other places, it would have been far far worse.

Agreed, because of corruption in 9ja some massaging of figures may be going on. But Covid-19 is as real your existence.

Please take it from those at the frontline Sir,Corona virus does exist.The fact that you do not know anyone personally does not mean it is a propaganda.You yourself may have been a carrier at one point in time and may not have had any symptoms.There are people who will be without symptoms and those with either mild symptoms,moderate or severe symptoms.
Please be enlightened,go about your activities and ensure you observe basic precautions as instructed by authorities and remain hopeful you do not know someone that will personally be affected,which is good if you get me.have a nice week sir.

I'm not upto something and do not work with NCDC. Infact I wanted doing consultancy work with them but couldn't get it. The friend that died was one time my oga about 9/10 years ago. It's still shocking to me cuz he often sent videos or messages of happenings around the globe to my WhatsApp. He worked with General Hospital, Zango Kataf for years before he was transferred to General Hospital, Gwantu in Kaduna State.

When malaria/typhoid reads 2+,what happens: blood presure/heart beat increases this lead to difficulty in breating,taste bud dies leading loss of taste and smell.Mosquitoe/malaria/typhoid fever kills more than hunger in Africa.

Good day Nairalanders. Since March this year, Covid-19 has been the major issue in Nigeria as it led to the shutingdown of the economy.

Many people don't believe the existence. My dear people, I was having a double opinion about the existence too. For the first time, I'm beginning to believe the pandemic does exist. My friend who was a Medical Laboratory Scientist with Kaduna State Ministry of Health and the head of the laboratory unit, Gwantu General Hospital was down with malaria like symptoms and treated himself for several days with no improvement.

Though he was a high blood pressure patient. The fever increased and symptoms of Covid-19 started manifesting. He was taken to Kafanchan Gen Hospital but no Doctor agreed to come close to him when they saw his critical condition. He was advised to check into the isolation centre but when they got there, there was nothing on ground as everywhere was dirty with no facility. The family was advised to take him to Kaduna isolation centre but he gave up the ghost as he was under distress all these while.

His samples were taken and it came out positive for Covid-19. His corpse is deposited at Kafanchan Gen Hospital at the moment. The people that were running up and down to save his life were helpless as they watched him dying. Their samples had been collected yesterday, taken to Kaduna today and are awaiting the outcome of the results.

The question they are asking is: why is government saying they have spent huge sum of money with nothing to show for it especially in other parts of the state/country? Should preparation for Covid-19 management be made only in the state capitals? What about towns that are very far from the isolation centres in the state capitals? Government should do something to accommodate the people by creating and equipping more centres in the hinter lands.

Corona virus (Covid-19) is real!
Do you know anybody anywhere in Nigeria who has died as a result of Covid-19?

I'm going to tell you a hard truth...

Nigeria is a poor country.

Our health budget for this year is less than $3 billion dollars. By comparison, South Africa spent $23 billion on health this year, and developed countries spend $100 billion and more.

That's why our health care response is a joke. We don;t have the money, and the looting and inefficency of the government makes matters worse.

Again, not to be harsh, and my sympathies with the loss of your friend, but even if they got him to a ventilator, it probably won;t have made a difference.

Nigeria needs better economic management, honestly

I'll never understand why some people still think the virus is not real. I understand if people are being sentimental about the numbers but saying it doesn't exist at all. Seriously? Also agreed that the Nig government isn't doing enough to equip and help the health system.

I know at least 8 to 9 people who have either lost someone or had someone who recovered from it.

Infact I know someone personally who has lost 3 people.
The way the virus ran through many care home is so disheartening. People lost their parents/grandparents to this virus.

Ignorance is what lead the world to where it currently is right now because lots of people/countries were disputing it until it hit their doorsteps.

Remember that these statistics/numbers are people's husband, wife, children, mother, father, sister, brother, friend etc.

E ni to kan lo mo o.

OP, sorry about your friend.

I believe he died because of negligence and not necessarily COVID19..... Fever is part of Coronavirus symptoms truly, but fever has been killing people not today!

You also said Kaduna facility is dirty, does that means we are being fed lies in the media when they are showing us ultra modern facilities?

Truly there is COVID19 which kills, but fever kill more people than COVID..... Also, he probably died because he didn't get medical attention. That's my point!!!


Do you even notice most people are not interested in the NCDC update anymore unlike before?

At the bolded...if Nigerians had the disposable income to engage in international tourism like the average EU, UK, USA, even Chinese(millions of Chinese travel aborad for tourisim yearly)...it might have been worse.

Ironically, our poverty might have helped us escape the worst.

Fake news.

I discovered that from time to time, the government or NCDC looks for a poster candidate to spread fear of COVID. They usually appear on twitter or other social media to say that they know someone who has been a victim of covid so as to personalise the whole thing.

Of all the diseases he suffered from, why must covid take the blame?

Covid in Nigeria is nothing but malaria according to Dokpesi

Don't be misleading others....keep ur crucked and kindergarten mentality to yourself.
