All the smart people in Nigeria and on nairaland do not have anything to say about the increasing cases and mortality yet o, they simply do not feel alarmed. Just let the government take actions to curb this new wave, and you'll see litters of critics and ideas. Covid still hitting hard around the world, let's not feel all is normal just because we are going about our normal businesses. Let's try and keep to guidelines. One life or two lives will seem insignificant until that one was your father, sibling, or spouse. Think about this. God help Nigeria

What wave? What exactly do they mean by cases?... people who test positive?...or people who are sick with the virus? If you are tested for malaria anti bodies ... would the result be positive or negative? If it is positive... does that mean you have contracted malaria and should be counted as another case? It is the Delta variant that is spreading .... how they know that?... why not the South African variant? Can any of the testing kits determine which variant was detected? This is not about being smart ... it is about those with common sense ... the common sense to chew before swallowing and those who choose to open their mouths wide and swallow whatever the FG and media pour down their throats.

This is about whipping up fear so that short sighted people will rush to get the vaccine.
