diportivo: I doubt if it's the ABS module..... But like you have correctly stated, nothing spoil aslong as the issues go away. |

adanny01: Well, you sound quite knowledgeable with regards to car issues. But can it be possible that spark and fuel could cause the green key sign not to flash on the dashboard when you want to start the car? Normally, the green key sign flashes momento rally once you insert the key and turn it before the car starts but it doesn't now, hence my car hasn't been starting. I changed the Relay still the issue wasn't solved. The guy claims that once we change the gear brain box, the issue would be solved; would still ask him about the Immobilizer though. |

adanny01: Actually, the issue with the car is completely electrical and not mechanical in any way. Sometimes when you put the key in the ignition and turn it, the green key indicator light will not flash on the dash board and once it did not flash, the car can never start even if you try from now till tomorrow. We initially thought it was a Transponder issue but in the end it wasnt. I actually doubted it when he said the gear brain box has issues cos that was the very first time am hearing that until he showed me the one he removed from my car. He clarified that its not all Honda Acord 1998 models that have it. (Mostly American Spec or so that normally does) See the pictures below: 1 Share

My Honda baby boy which has refused to start for some months now has been in an electrician's workshop for some time now. The guy is claiming that the gear brain box is the issue. Abeg my people, am wondering if Honda baby boy has a gear brain box. |

Good people, please I have been having issues with my Honda Baby Boy. I recently changed the engine and gear box but I noticed that the D4 light keeps flashing on the dashboard when I turn the ignition or start the car. This has resulted to the gear not selecting well. Please has anyone had that issue and how was it resolved? |

[quote author=NGpatriot post=96294369] So, what's so special about Nigeria that it can not be in a recession when the whole world is in a recession? The kind of silly rubbish Igbos and anti Nigerian elements obsessed over is getting more and more laughable and ridiculous. God Bless Nigeria [/quot Hey you, better shut that your mouth there. So what happened when Buhari was in power first ruled this country? Why did we enter Recession immidietly he took over ![]() Keep on defending him |

I truely shudder when I see some people support this man called Buhari. Someone whose track record has shown without any doubt that he is totally bereft of ideas when it comes to handling the economy of this country. One of his die hard loyalists claimed that the current situation in the country is because of slide in price of crude and also due to Covid and I ask, was it also what led to the same economic crises when Buhari was in Power as a military head of state ![]() It is no happenstance that whenever this man takes over leadership in Nigeria people sufffer, it's simply due to his gross incompetence which Zombies that support has failed or pretended not to see. |

My best We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land, but it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand; he sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, the breezes and the sunshine and soft refreshing rain. All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above, then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love. 2 He only is the maker of all things near and far; he paints the wayside flower, he lights the evening star; the wind and waves obey him, by him the birds are fed; much more to us his children, he gives our daily bread. All good gifts... 3 We thank you, then, O Father, for all things bright and good, the seed-time and the harvest, our life, our health, our food: accept the gifts we offer for all your love imparts; and that which you most welcome, our humble, thankful hearts. All good gifts... words: after Matthias Claudius, Jane Campbell Tune: WIR PFLUGEN 7 6 7 6 D and refrain 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Even if Ize-Iyamu defeats Obaseki in the APC primaries scheduled for June 22 this year and becomes the next governor, Oshiomhole cannot still become the Edo state godfather as Ize-Iyamu is far too street smart and wily to be caged like a bird. Where really will that leave Oshiomhole? He would only succeed in replacing his once docile Obaseki with a power hungry Ize-Iyamu. |

Lol, this reminds me of a movie I watched so many years ago. Exactly like what happened here, one guy was making advances at a particular girl who declined because she had a boyfriend who was also treating her with utmost disdain. Despite how badly this girl's boyfriend treated her, she still loved him. This continued until he got her pregnant and abandoned her. This girl out of heartbreak went to abort the baby and nearly died in the process. While on her sick bed, with tears in her eyes she called the other guy who had been trying to win her over and he rushed to her side like king Arthur, ready to slay 100 dragons for her. The Mugu took her in, spent a lot of money and nursed her back to health. After some months, the old boyfriend started disturbing her, telling her that he wanted her back. Believe it or not, this girl left the Mugu that was there for her during her trying times and moved back to the abusive boyfriend. Any lesson learnt ![]() 3 Likes 2 Shares |

How can I ever forget that night in 2005. I was a corper serving in Jigawa State, Dutse to be precise. On that fateful day, I was supposed to travel to Abuja to see my cousin who lived in Gwagwalada then . I wasted a lot of time with my friends which made me travel late in the evening. My guys even warned me to postpone the trip to the next day but I was very obstinate, insisting that I must go that evening. I got to the park and to worsen things, our bus took time to fill up. We finally left , driving through Kano, Kaduna and finally getting to Abuja very late in the night. This was were my problems started. I couldn't see a single bus going to Gwagwalada as they had all stopped due to the time. See me nah, I be corper wey no get money to lodge for hotel. I became totally confused with no inkling of what to do. Finally, I came to a conclusion and decided to go to the nearest Police station to see if they will allow me spend the night there. At the police station, the police men rejected all my pleas insisting that I might be a robber who disguised as a corper in order to attack them later in the night. I had no other option than to leave dejectedly resolving to accept my fate. But luckily for me, as I was leaving their compound, a police man at the gate called me back and offered to allow me sleep on a bench inside the compound. I happily slept on top of that Bench with mosquitoes singing in my ears till morning. That night will always remain indelible in my memory. If only I can see that policeman that helped a young broke corper then, the way I will reward him eh. 5 Likes 1 Share |

So, when will things calm down with COVID-19? According to Schleiss, it’s going to take herd immunity — which basically blocks out the virus when a large chunk of the population is immune from already being sick — along with an effective vaccine. “We really, really need a vaccine,” he said, adding that because the Food and Drug Administration will need to prove a vaccine is safe, it could take a year or two — best case scenario. We also have a lot more we need to learn: the prevalence of the infection along with how you contract the virus and all the different roads of transmission. Until then, we’re going to need to practice social distancing to help minimize the number of people who contract it, says Johnson. We’ll need to work together to limit exposure to one another — especially with older adults and people with underlying illness who have the greatest risk of developing severe symptoms. We don’t need to panic. Remember: The vast majority of COVID-19 cases are mild. But we do need to take action to contain the spread and protect those who are most vulnerable. The bottom line COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, isn’t the first threatening disease that’s surged around the world — nor will it be the last. Source: Health line media |

2014–2016 Ebola Ebola was extremely deadly, killing up to 50 percent of those who got sick. But because it predominantly spread through bodily fluids like sweat and blood during the last stages of the disease, it wasn’t as contagious as COVID-19. Plus, because symptoms were so severe, health officials were able to quickly identify those who’d been in contact with people who had it and isolate them. “You don’t have relatively healthy people with the [Ebola] virus walking around shedding the virus — going on the bus, going shopping, going to work — like we do with this,” Johnson said. Key symptoms: fever, aches and pains, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting First detection: first patient identified December 2013 in Guinea; first outbreak March 2014Trusted Source Global cases: 28,652 casesTrusted Source across 10 countries Global deaths: 11,325 deaths; death rate was about 50 percentTrusted Source Transmission: spread through bodily fluids (blood, sweat, feces) and close contact; most contagious toward end of disease Most affected groups: 20 percentTrusted Source of all cases occurred in children Treatment available: none; supportive care was provided, including IV fluids and oral rehydration Vaccines available: none End of outbreak: March 2016Trusted Source Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) Early evidence shows COVID-19 may be more contagious than the flu. And some early reports say COVID-19 may have a higher death rate than the seasonal flu. But we may soon find out it’s less deadly than initial reports since so many people with COVID-19 have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic and therefore don’t see a doctor and are largely unaccounted for. “The death rate really is something we just have to take with a grain of salt until we have enough information,” Johnson said. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and numbers and estimates are likely to change as we learn more. Key symptoms: cough, fever, shortness of breath; 80 percent of cases are mild First detection: December 2019 in Wuhan, China Global cases to date: Over 127,000 cases Global deaths to date: Over 4,700; the global death rate is estimated at 3.4 percentTrusted Source, but certain areas are seeing a death rate of just 0.4 percent Transmission: spreads through respiratory droplets along with feces and other bodily secretions; each person passes it to 2.2 others which will likely fall as containment and quarantine efforts increase Most affected groups: adults over 65 with underlying health conditions; children seem to be spared and are experiencing milder symptoms (in China, children account for just 2.4 percent of cases) Treatments available: none; supportive care is provided, pain relievers and fever reducers can alleviate symptoms, and antibiotics can help treat secondary bacterial pneumonia and antivirals used with other viruses are being administered to help with recovery Vaccines available: none yet; a vaccine will likely be ready in about one year. |

1918 influenza The 1918 Spanish flu epidemic was the deadliest flu season we know of, infecting about one-third of the world’s population. “The 1918 pandemic strain of influenza was new and novel for most people under the age of 40 or 50, but that’s where the death rate really was high — that’s different than the usual flu,” said Dr. Mark Schleiss, a pediatric infectious disease specialist with the University of Minnesota. Back then, scientists didn’t know viruses caused disease, and we didn’t yet have a vaccine or antivirals to help prevent or treat influenza, nor did we have antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections. Life was also very different back then — for one, we were in the middle of a war and soldiers carried the virus with them all over the world. People were also living in very crowded conditions and had extremely poor hygiene — this helped the disease build and build, according to Johnson. Key symptoms: fever, nausea, aches, diarrhea First detection: March 1918 Global cases: 500 million Global deaths: over 50 million (675,000 in the United States); the death rate was around 2 percent Transmission: spread through respiratory droplets Most affected groups: otherwise healthy adults ages 20 to 40 Treatments available: none; antibiotics or antivirals did not yet exist Vaccines available: none End of pandemic: summer 1919; mostly due to deaths and higher immunity levels Seasonal flu The flu strikes every year, but no two seasons are exactly the same. Because strains mutate each year, it can be hard to predict what will hit. Unlike COVID-19, we have effective vaccines and antiviral medications that can help prevent and reduce the severity of the flu. Additionally, many people have residual immunity to the flu from years past, as our bodies have seen the flu before. We don’t have any immunity to COVID-19, and it appears to be more contagious and fatal than the flu so far, but this could very well change as we learn more. Key symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue Global cases annually: 9 percentTrusted Source of the population, or about 1 billion infections (up to 5 million of which are severe) Global deaths annually: between 291,000 to 646,000Trusted Source; death rate around 0.1 percent Transmission: spreads through respiratory droplets; each diagnosed person passes it to 1.3 persons Most affected groups: older adults and people with compromised immune systems Treatment available: antiviral medications (Tamiflu, Relenza, Rapivab, Xofluza) to reduce duration and severity of flu Vaccines available: there are many vaccine optionsTrusted Source available that provide immunity against multiple strains of influenza 2002–2004 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) SARS is another type of coronavirus that came out of China and spread quickly through respiratory droplets. Though the SARS death rate was higher than COVID-19, COVID-19 has already claimed more lives. According to Johnson, contact tracingTrusted Source — or monitoring people in close contact with those who contracted it — was really effective with SARS, largely because symptoms were severe and therefore easier to identify and contain. In addition, Schleiss said the SARS virus didn’t have the “fitness to persist in the human population,” which eventually led to its demise. Schleiss added this doesn’t seem to be the case with COVID-19, which seems to be able to spread and thrive in the human body. Overall, though SARS’ death rate was higher, COVID-19 has led to “more fatalities, more economic repercussions, more social repercussions than we [had] with SARS,” Johnson said. Key symptoms: fever, respiratory symptoms, cough, malaise First detection: November 2002 in Guangdong province of China Global cases: 8,098 casesTrusted Source across 29 countries; 8 U.S. cases Global deaths: 774; 15 percent mortality rate; no U.S. deathsTrusted Source Transmission: spread through respiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces Most affected groups: patients 60 and older had a 55 percent higher death rate Treatment available: no treatment or cure, but antiviral medications and steroids worked for some people Vaccine available: a vaccine was ready around the time the pandemic was already ending End of pandemic: July 2003Trusted Source 2009 (H1N1) flu pandemic Back in 2009, a new type of flu — an H1N1 strain — popped up and people panicked because we didn’t have a vaccine and the novel strain was spreading fast. Like COVID-19, there was no immunity at the start of the outbreak. We did have antivirals to facilitate recovery, and by the end of 2009, we had a vaccine which — combined with higher levels of immunity — would provide protection in future flu seasons. Still, it claimed over 12,000 lives in the United States. Key symptoms: fever, chills, cough, body aches First detection: January 2009 in Mexico; April 2009Trusted Source in United States Global cases: about 24 percent of global population; 60.8 million U.S. cases Global deaths: over 284,000; 12,469 in the United States; death rate was .02 percent Most affected groups: children had the highest rates; 47 percentTrusted Source of children between 5 and 19 developed symptoms compared to 11 percent of people ages 65 and up Treatment available: antiviralsTrusted Source (oseltamivir and zanamivir); most people recovered without complications Vaccine available: H1N1 vaccine research started April 2009 and a vaccine became available December 2009 End of pandemic: August 2010. |

Here’s How COVID-19 Compares to Past Outbreaks SARS, the 1918 flu pandemic, and Ebola have all helped public health officials prepare for major outbreaks. Each major outbreak is different though, and experts have a hard time predicting how they will end. The fallout of each disease largely depends on other circumstances — when we catch it, how contagious and fatal it is, how hygienic people are, and how quickly a vaccine or cure becomes available. All data and statistics are based on publicly available data at the time of publication. Some information may be out of date. Visit our coronavirus hub and follow our live updates page for the most recent information on the COVID-19 outbreak. With new cases of the new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, growing day by day, it’s natural to compare the new disease to other outbreaks in recent history. There was the 1918 influenza, for example, that infected nearly a thirdTrusted Source of the world’s population before it fizzled out. Then came other threatening viruses that appeared out of nowhere: severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the H1N1 influenza in 2009, and Ebola. Eventually, we got a handle on all of them. But the fallout of each disease largely depends on other circumstances — when we catch it, how contagious and fatal it is, how hygienic people are, and how quickly a vaccine or cure becomes available. The death rate isn’t the only determining factor regarding how devastating and deadly a pandemic will be, according to Dr. Christine Kreuder Johnson, a UC Davis professor of epidemiology and ecosystem health and researcher on USAID’s Emerging Pandemic Threats PREDICT project. Here, we’ll take a look at how COVID-19 stacks up to other major outbreaks so far: |
