There's no such thing as Covid-19....


The entire symptoms of Coronavirus is all related to Malaria.....


They don't want you testing for malaria no more but to be testing for Covid-19.... How silly.


They're now attributing all deaths in the hospital to be caused by Coronavirus.
I never knew malaria causes anosmia, breathing difficulties and in serious cases, lung damage to victims. That's very brilliant of you.

Don't be fooled. NCDC knows that their scam is about to burst. Yes there's COVID but not as much as the inflated figure.

They know the Masses will soon agitate for verification and autopsy of the dead.

Very IRREGULAR figures
Dude, the numbers by NCDC are grossly underestimated. With all the tests they've carried out they haven't tested 1 percent of the population. The real undetected numbers are surely higher.

You can check online sir, which disease has killed the most number of people worldwide in the last 100 years.
Emeritus?
And these People that died are full Grown Adults?

Do you understand immunity (against Malaria) at all?

Full grown adults have been dying from various illnesses ranging from cardiovascular failures, asthma, cancer, MALARIA, and all sorts of seemingly mild illnesses.
Speaking of Immunity, there is no known vaccine against malaria world over. So, I don't understand as you implied.

In any rate, I hardly argue with people here, and my point is not to discredit the existence of covid 19 and the accompanying death. I only quoted you when you apparently implied that adults couldn't have died from malaria, stressing that they must have died only from Covid 19.
No hard feelings bro.

Wouldn't argue with you before naw...

If you can claim that Malaria has been killing fully grown adults who have lived all their lives in a Malaria endemic area, it shows you don't know what you are talking about.

Malaria is not the cause of all these deaths you are now hearing about.

Malaria will kill non-immune ( foreigners) or possibly immunocompromised people (children or pregnant women or maybe HIV/AIDS).

It just amazes me that people will explain the recent events away with Malaria!

Malaria, in the Malaria zone of the world?
Malaria that our people have survived for Centuries?

Alaye, if you dodnt know before, know now. Covid is as real as anything.

There is no way to predict how it will affect you.
Some people shrug it off and some people with no previous medical conditions are dying.

I know 3 sons out of 4 who have died from it.

Even if you as a young person will survive, how about the older and vulnerable ones.

The UK and US is on its knees at the moment and you people are making mouth anyhow.

Issokay, experience they say is the best Teacher!

I see covid 19 being defeated. But our leaders have refused to let it die in peace so that they can continue to cash out. I see another lockdown looming. I see schools, churches and markets being shut down. This I have seen.
Lol.. False prophet indeed grin grin

If you read what I posted above yiu would have seen where I mentioned Pregnant women, children and severe immunocompromise...

The highest number of Malaria deaths is in Children, and if you understood how this thing works, you will know why.

For you to say a fully grown adults dies of Cerebral Malaria ( which you have so easily pulled out of thin air) shows how ignorant you are.

Pregnancy is a highly volatile period and even at that, I haven't seen any women die of Malaria during that time...
Worst case scenario they lose the pregnancy or have premature deliveries.

This is not saying that Pregnant Women don't die of Malaria, but with modern medicine and how easily accessible antimalarials are, why would you.
Antenatal care is available in the poorest of centres and in its most basic state, antimalarials are given to all pregnant Women.

May I ask, do you know any Adult that Malaria has killed?
undecided

You diagnosed him with Cerebral Malaria?
It's only Cerebral Malaria that causes unconscious bah?

And while I am not saying it is impossible, as every Nigerian treats himself for Malaria once he falls ill,
Even if his Kidneys are shutting down or he has Covid...

How many of such Cases have you seen or heard about?
