STOP THE FEAR... KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID-19 (CoronaVirus).
Nwannem, there is too much fear and hysteria going on in Nigeria concerning this disease called COVID-19 (Coronavirus). This has got to stop!
Do you know that some people think that because the disease has no cure, everyone who got it will surely die?
Some people even believe that the Virus is airborne, which explains why they cover their noses and mouth while walking along the road.
Now get these Facts:
1. About 500,000 people got the disease worldwide. 23,500 died. The rest simply recovered. Yes, 23,500 deaths in 5 months is on the high side. That is because the Virus
spreads so fast.
2. 90% of those killed by this Virus are elderly people whose Lungs are very week to bear the onslaught from this Cold related virus. The young people who have died so far are also people who have Lung related
sicknesses already. And yes, we don't want all these people to die because we love them, but we are also helping them when we deal with the fear factor.
3. How severe is the sickness caused by this virus?
Let's get the answer from Arsenal Football Team Coach, Mikel Arteta who just recovered from
the COVID-19 sickness;
"In terms of symptoms, it was a normal virus for me. I had three or four days which were a little bit difficult, with a bit of a temperature and a dry cough, and some discomfort in my chest. That was it". - Mikel Arteta
Note that what Coach Arteta is saying here is that our good old Malaria is more severe than
Corona. Forget the television pictures of "Oyibo" covered up with clothes and shivering like
chickens beating by rain. It is because they are not used to Malaria and other things we suffer here in Nigeria.
Umunnem, the Corona virus causes Flu sickness. That means cold related sicknesses. Do you even know that cough and catarrh are Flu caused by a virus?
Nwannem, do you even know that Catarrh has no cure just like Corona? You treat Catarrh by continuously dealing with the symptoms that shows up, until the Virus lives out it's lifespan and dies off.
4. This Virus can enter your body, lives out it's lifespan and dies off without you knowing that it was there.
5. For those that got it, what the hospitals do is to continue treating the
symptoms (cold, fever, dry throat, etc) until the virus ends it's lifespan and clears out.
6. The reason sufferers are taken to Special Clinics or Isolated are as is to prevent the Virus from spreading, and to have access to ventilators for those that have Lung/breathing
problems. That's all!
7. The reason why the World is shaking is because this Virus is so contagious, spreads so fast, and therefore can send the entire city to sick bed in a week. But in terms of mortality rate, Malaria in Africa is higher.
Therefore Umunnem, it is good that we intensify all efforts to stop the spread of this disease by adhering to the basic hygienic advise by Professionals. Constantly wash your hands: Apply alcoholic sanitizers: Observe social distance: Frequently drink warm water: Avoid crowded areas e.t.c. Always stay healthy because a healthy people is a strong people.
Stop the Fear, Panic and the Misinformation going on.
Fear kills Faster than the real Coronavirus itself!
Please DUNGA is saying "Treat Malaria Now!!"
