Covid 19 is a funny and serious sickness. One may have it and not show the symptoms and may even recover with taking common malaria drugs because He or She has a strong immune system but the same person can go and transfer it to a person who has a weak immune system and the rest will be history.... A person that gives you Corona virus may go Scott free but you that contacted it may not especially if you have a weak immune system. The virus is almost malaria just that it is infectious. Stay safe

All you said is true. But COVID-19 is not malaria. Malaria is not infectious, caused by a protozoa and has its distinct symptoms. COVID-19 is largely a respiratory illness, caused by a virus, highly infectious with its distinct symptoms. Pls you should stop likening corona virus to malaria. They are not same in any way whatsoever.

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?
Right from the early days of the pandemic, it was stated that those with underlying health conditions are More likely to die of covid 19. In that case, the disease won't waste Much time ending such person. Nothing New here.

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?

Your friend died of high blood pressure.

But we can say that he died WITH covid19.

Not of covid19.

Hope you can see the difference?

That is how they term it even in america to make the number keep going up.

Meanwhile...

Sorry for your loss.

Wake up, market is selling.... Next time collect samples from mango and pineapple, tag it names of dead people. Tell them they died of Covid-19 symptoms. Wait for the results.... It will be positive. Then you will get the gist.

every sickness & death is now tagged to covid-19, because NCDC need to justify billions of naira they collected.

it's an open secret, all the people that benefit from this SCAMDEMIC are very despirate, the are defending their looting and want it to continue.

we now have NCDC on nairaland & other social media to counter all allegations.

it's very glaring in our eye, that there is nothing like covid-19 in Nigeria, but covid-419 malaria.

Those who actually died are those who have a direct contact from abroad & they are not upto 10.

Stop this nonsense

And to you now you are making sense right? How do you explain the death from contact of returnees as different from the one due to community transmission??

It's wise to shut up when you are bereft of certain knowledge. I pity people that live around people like you...Gosh!!

Nobody is arguing that it doesn't exist in Nigeria. All we're saying is our government is blowing it out of proportion for their own personal gains and also using the media as a tool for fear mongering.
Don't bother to quote me if you have issues decoding simple English please
No, some are actually arguing it does not exist at all.

It is real but mild over here. If it is here half of people in Lagos would have contacted it because nobody is maintaining social distance. Go to the markets and see what I am telling you. Some Commercial buses are carrying full capacity in their areas. Health workers are afraid to attend to patients because of it and that leads to death.

You mean because he is suffering from high blood pressure he should die?thats a fallacy.An uncle of mine has been managing High blood pressure for more than twenty years.HBP is not a death sentence,once you take your drugs regulary as prescribed you can live longer than one without blodd related disease.

The media (mainstream mass media) never made it look like a death sentence. They gave out guidelines on social distance and hand washing. It's the market women and beer parlour media that gave it another hue.

Thousands have died from bombing and boko haram in Nigeria but i dont knw anyone personally who has died. Is that a scam too?

If you go to those areas where boko haram is laying siege, chances are you will meet someone that knows someone who has died from the terror attacks.

But if I come to your community now and ask you to pinpoint someone you know, or even still, point out someone you know who knows someone who has died of the said COVID, something tells me it won't be that easy for you.

Covid is a hoax.

They took ordinary common flu virus and renamed it covid just to scare the hell out of the masses thereby forcing them to give up their freedom.

I am glad the people are finally waking up to the game and realizing that COVID19 is not worth all that hype and drama.

The problem is, covid19 has made it dififuclt for a lot of people to earn money, and do their jobs. Indeed there are job losses as a result.

And in times like this, it is easy to believe that covid19 is a fraud. After all, one has a higher chance of seeing a malaria patient than a covid 19 patient.

I'm also a laboratory scientist. I don't believe he died of Corona. We medical personnel tend to take care of people ignoring our own health issues until it's late. I've been feeling kinda weak lately and had a cough which resulted from eating corn. Only for me to run some test on myself and discovered I had malaria +++. They would have added me to their list if I didn't run the test myself.

I hope you are also not taking things too much for granted. Many of the Corona virus positive patient also test positive to malaria/typhoid!

So far, many health workers are already infected in Lagos on coming across patients that are assymptomatic. The only good thing is that the intensity doesn't appear to be anywhere near what people experience in the western countries, and these infected health workers are mostly assymptomatic themselves. Several have mild symptoms, while a few have died already!

We should just be grateful to God, because we don't have the infrastructures on ground to handle a serious outbreak in Nigeria! The teaching hospitals in Lagos only provide few PPEs to their workers!

Please Google and see the graves being dug in Brazil. The common flu virus in previous years claimed below 2000 lives a year there, but as at today the covid is claiming over a thousand DAILY.

Yes, the common flu and SARS-cov- 2 are in same family of viruses but they are different strains.
