WHO said the cases on the continent may shoot up from thousands to millions if models are accurate, UN health agency says.

More than two million people have been infected by the virus globally [Rogan Ward/Reuters]
Coronavirus cases in Africa could surge from just thousands now to 10 million within three to six months, according to provisional modelling, a regional World Health Organization (WHO) official said.

But Michel Yao, head of emergency operations for WHO Africa, said on Thursday it was a tentative projection that could change. He noted worst-case predictions for the Ebola outbreak had not come true because people changed their behaviour in time.

"This is still to be fine-tuned," he told a media teleconference. "It's difficult to make a long-term estimation because the context changes too much and also public health measures, when they are fully implemented, they can actually have an impact."

The world's poorest continent has seen more than 17,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and about 900 deaths so far - relatively few compared with other regions.
But there are fears that the numbers could balloon and overwhelm shaky health services.

Dnt be amazed. It’s frustrating when business isn’t flowing like it use to.

most of them are not pastor but ritualists that would exchange the life of their gullible followers for wealth.

It is pastors like you that gives atheist reasons to ask questions like
Pastor wey no fit hill corona victims na pastor?

Pastor or whatever you call yourself no blessing is more better than good health and have the ability to praise and worship your creator anytime and anywhere.

There is a difference between a threat, and informing beneficiaries when the training site will be shut down, the post is targeted at informing not the other way round.

If she cheats with you on another she's certainly going to cheat on you with another.

johnchins:
This period clear shows how incompetent the Buhari government is... I could recall all the measures put in place during the Ebola outbreak.

Only God can save us o
BTW, where is that pastor that said he is going to China to destroy Ebola? No need spending money on flight anymore, he can now start from here. No need for propaganda, if he has the power let him step forward

most of u cannot make sentence without adding Buhari. Have you thought of how your Almighty USA recorded two cases of corona?

Some slaves above thinks the solution to their slave life is for pumpeo to visit the country they no longer believe in.

I was supposed to be the first to comment but I was busy looking for the Idomas they claimed were there. Now I didn't comment first and I didn't see any idoma chief or person on the pictures.

Rawtruth1:
I can see why the north will continue to torment the Yoruba and igbos. It's surprising to sane men why two oppressed and endangered tribes will unceasingly attack and hate each other to the delight of their common enemy. That must be a spell

And this is funny cos islam spread to the north through Fulani


Hmm..I need to research more

Islam was in existence in the north east before the coming of uthman dan fodio

LearnAtrade:
Usman Dan fodio and his Fulani terrorist tribe can never win this war,because we know where Nigeria begin and where Nigeria end.

You can now learn a skills or trade at the comfort of your home, this is strictly for serious minded people
You can learn this training -:

1) Solar/inverter installation/maintenance
2) Laptop repair and maintenance
3) Mobile phone repair and maintenance
4) Satellite TV installation
And many other.we are going to be updating the website with different training program,you can visit my profile/signature for more information

can you teach Fulani guys or is only Igbo Christians? You lack the basic ethics of an advertiser.

PrecisionFx:
Daft, empty n unrelated post.

if defending Nigerian Christian through keyboards is all you can offer then you are the greatest coward Christianity will ever have as a member. The Fulani you guys claim to be fighting for Islam uses sophisticated weapons to do so, that's why am offering you a riffle to propagate Christianity.

PrecisionFx:
The sunni/Shiites war started more than 500 years ago.


Christian disunity started more than 500 years ago too, but they arent killing themselves and they never will cuz christianity is not a violent religion.

if you die now, my question is can you make the Christian heaven?

The truth is that non of you on this topic will make that heaven if the strumpet is blown today because non of you that is not entangled in either one or all of the following
1 formication
2 greediness
3 pride
4 show off
5 oppression
6 backbiting
7 bribery
8 voodoo practices
Therefore, attacking Islam or Christianity is not the way to make heaven.

Please what's the difference between the following?
Miss world
Miss universe
Miss earth
Miss globe

I want no which one my fat babe go contest
