Candice Owens is not someone to take seriously.

The death rate is much higher than flu and it is very infectious.

Nancy Pelosi should be the serious one then.

TheSuperNerd:
Because she is Republican. Tbaba, I'm afraid I diagree with you. She is a known voice and is informed. I know you take Alexandria Cortez very seriously but are here saying Candace Owens isn't to be taken seriously. Abeg stop politising the lady. What she said is true and well informed.

It is infectious but have only killed old people especially in Washington. The last case I heard of was an 80 years old man. Young people are yet to die from this and if any is dead at all, the number is very very very very little. The disease is not a potent one abeg. It only spreads faster and quicker and is fatal especially to Older folks. Chikena.

She is just someone who says rubbish and so does AOC by the way.

Back to the case, People with underlying conditions are more vulnerable but the death rate is 10 times higher than regular flu. It is not the flu. It should not be trivialized in that manner.

Funny thing is you are actually not far from the truth. Ofcos there is money to be made once the vaccines show and start going round. The same way we are yet to find an actual cure for cancer or even HIV is also down to the billions of dollars in that aspect of the pharmaceutical industry alone. Find a cure and you will be shutting down lots of cancer drugs and ARVs businesses.

junnyjake:


It's confirmed that the flu is more fatal to the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. If you don't know this by now, perhaps, you've allowed fear reign over you.

No one says this shouldn't be taken serious, all we are saying is: come down a little with the spread of unnecessary anxiety while you fight the disease.

Who knows? There's money to be made off this.

Oga sir. Corona can not, never ever wipe any community.


It has a very low mortality rate. Like, over 90% of those who contact it survive, so how exactly will a less that 10% mortality rate virus wipe out a community?

Thanks for this ma'am!!

Chairman,

Iran has a higher mortality rate than European counties because they have lesser medical treatment facilities.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/why-iran-s-reported-mortality-rate-coronavirus-higher-other-countries-n1142646


A typical village in a small African community do not have medical treatment facilities are at risk of higher mortality rate.

It is reasonable to conclude that a small third world African community could be wiped out by the infection.

You sound like you are trivializing the disease, you should not. Mortality rate goes to 10.5% for people with cardiovascular diseases. Like you noted, older people are very vulnerable. Since it is very infectious irrespective of your age, a young person can catch it then give it to their older grandparent who then dies.
You should not trivialize it unless you just want to kill off every old person.

TheSuperNerd:


Unless that community is made up of only 75-80+ year old adults. Lol...
Another ignorant comment from this fellow again. Mister, you don't know anything about anything on Covid-19. Stop spreading ignorance Biko.
And talking about Experts, I have informed expert opinions on this too. People who have detailed info and not the generilistic info circulating around the public. There is nothing to fear about this Virus in Africa. Nothing!!!

I can see you are having fun.

You have consistently diverted from 'the message' to launch direct attacks at 'my person'

Well, I lost that ability quite a long time ago to engage in tantrums.

So I don't know man. Keep doing what you know to do best.

Well, even my allowing your statement to stand doesn't change the fact that she is actually saying "sense" this time. Let us agree she has been saying rubbish but Tbaba, not this time. Candace is 100% right on what she uttered in that post. She is informed.



And ofcos Regular influenza has a death rate of 0.1%... bloody 0.1% which ranks it among the very least diseases to be worried about compared to the world's deadliest diseases.
Comparing Covid-19 (death rate of 2% - 3.4%) to low-ranked Influenza only shows that it is not even in the conversation of deadliest diseases because it's mortality rate is bloody low and recoveries from this virus are much more than the deaths recorded.
It is not being trivialised but only being properly put into perspective. There must be balance.

Danielnino00:


Bro...u are more likely to die from a gun related violence in the US than from herdsmen and Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria... You know why? In Nigeria,you know where to avoid if u don't want to be attacked by herdsmen and Boko Haram insurgents... Don't go to the core north!
But in the US,you have no idea of knowing when or where the next madman will open fire on innocent people at public gatherings.... And make no mistake,the US has more gun related deaths per year than Nigeria.... Murder rates in the US are even more than in Nigeria (I may be wrong)....

Nowhere is safe!

Chai which kind talk is this: no where is safe? Are you aware that there are countries and cities in the world with zero crime rate. Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Osaka in Japan, Austria, Portugal, Sweden?

We should quit this specious argument that no where is safe and then we bring in US, same thing we do when talking corruption. We say Mr A is corrupt, next thing you'd hear but Mr B is corrupt too na just to obfuscate the issue and comfort ourselves by using the worst example. I'd have loved tbaba1234 and idenna (Omanbala ) to tell us about the US. But then take a look at this article on index of safe countries in the world https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/safest-countries-in-the-world/

With the level of gun proliferation in the US can you transpose thst to Nigeria and imagine the picture?

They are many safe countries in the world abeg. Not just even relatively safe but very safe (as in not dealing with security issues like the ones we confronted with)

That is bcoz you misunderstand. And Cardiac diseases (ischemic heart disease) on its own kills more people on Earth today than any other disease yet it is not having this much publication.

This is not trivialising anything. It is rather putting things into proper and balanced perspective.

Cardiac diseases aren't infectious though, are they?

Also, what is this 'proper and balanced perspective'? That preventive measures should not be taken?

Who knows? There's money to be made off this.

Oil prices have crashed. Italy has been projected to go into recession.
Schools are closed, the street and stalls are empty.

Some people need to work to pay weekly rents. If the stay too long at home where will the rent money come from?

The bigger picture is beyond the health situation but the sustainability of the global economy.

There is a huge difference between 0.1% and 4%. Some are projecting that upwards of 50% of some European countries will be affected. That is millions of people dead over a short time if it is not curtailed.

Remember it can be transmitted even when a person is asymptomatic.

But Cardiac(Heart) diseases killed about 24,641 people on the same day Corona killed 108 people in China (February 10).
They aren't infectious but they are far far deadlier... Not so?

abcnn:


Cardiac diseases aren't infectious though, are they?

junnyjake:
For all the panicky.

Is she saying the old people deaths in large numbers because if a virus isn't important? Agreed they are old but society should not just fold their hands and let them all die through a virus that is known to be spreading. Not only old people but other people with health challenges.

All these numbers talk. I wish I could drop the detailed numbers on recoveries made from this same Corona but I am kinda busy now.
And why projecting deaths when we are working with the numbers and cases we have seen so far? The mortality rate stays small and efforts are being made to curtail it. Italy have called off all sporting events and gatherings. Man City and your club, Arsenal are taking precautions due to the news on the Olympiacos owner being infected with Covid-19.

I have stressed already that it can be easily transferable from one person to another but the chances of that person dying is very very minimal except... (Well... You know the exception).

Safarigirl, coman see dis one ooo

There is nothing unusual about my post.

Over 16 million people have been put on quarantine in Italy.

Aina and Ekong (for their own safety as well as the safety of the entire team) should not travel for the game as long as Italy remains a high risk zone.

Humility017:




this is the most shallow posts I have seen lately sorry to say this bro.

so the villages, high ways attacked in the southern nigeria are in the core north? ??

the prominent Yoruba lady that was killed by herdsmen prompting the emergence of amotekun was she killed in the north

over 200 souls that died in enugu by herdsmen were they killed in the north? ??

my inlaw in Benin was shot by herdsmen on his way back from work in neighbouring LGA probably he was shot too in the North? ??

the herdsmen attacks in delta, south west and east probably it happened in the North too??
how about the kidnapping for random on major high ways where a full fledged 18 seater bus passengers are kidnapped it happened in the south please...

do you know that Nigeria record 50% of road accidents cases that happened world wide and most Nigeria drivers are not even qualified to pass a driving school exam in the US in a Norway last year Oslo record just one accident for a year how many can you count in Lagos state pls
or is it security that you can be robbed any time like in Benin...

or you want us to divulge into health infant mortality rate...Nigeria one of the most dangerous place for child birth...

please you guys should not paint this thing

the number of Nigerian soldiers killed a year tripled the number of Americans that died from gun related violence

in Nigeria information is compressed but in the US information about the happenings and all are all revealed....

so please don't just go there .... Nigeria is a very dangerous place to live in

Bro you don't even know. The little you know is what is in the public domain. Last year August or so, I went to Special Investigation Bureau Dog's company in Gowon barracks (which is the highest intelligence gathering unit of the Nigerian Army in Abuja) on official assignment. One of the officers told me we really don't know what is going on oo, that as lawyers we are quick to insist on human rights for terrorists. Next thing he began showing me clips. My colleague and I were just shouting. Omo Nigeria is at war.

Nigerians like this kind of talk: You say I am a thief. I will not answer objectively as to whether I am a thief or not. Next thing, I'd say, ehnnn Mr T is even worse. Why this penchant to compare ourselves with the worst? How can a nation grow when it is programmed into its national psyche to compare itself with the worst. Its baffling.

While in school, did we compare ourselves with the worst in the class or with the best?

In the index of safe countries I saw online the US ranks 19 places ahead of Nigeria. How is that for comparism? 19 paces ahead! Yet we are determined to continue with the false narrative that the US has worst index than us. Even if it is so, must we compare ourselves with the worst?

Please read this https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/safest-countries-in-the-world/

Do we want to progress or retrogress?

Noted.

Ohhh you even added more comments...

Now show me where I suggested such. The "proper and balanced" is too obvious in my post. Covid-19 spreads fast and quickly but it is not deadly and much more recoveries have been made than deaths recorded. Chikena.

In a nutshell, we only have to do what needs to be done to keep it at bay but it is not a disease to be panicky about AT ALL.

Like I already said in the other post, Heart disease and even Cancer killed far more people than Covid-19 did on February 10 alone. And February 10, as reported by WHO, is actually one of the worst days in terms of death as regards the Coronavirus since it all began.

Kingsley Ehizibue in action right now for Koln in the Bundesliga as they take on Borussia Mochengladbach away.

The tie is tagged the Rhine Derby.

Game kicked off 4 mins ago.

A minute on this off-topic Corona issue....

On Covid-19, WHO director General has just "officially" declared it a pandemic. No more an epidemic. It is indeed global but ofcos Africa is yet to record death among her citizens. Hmmm... Time will tell how soon we contain this globally. In the meantime, keep your hands clean at all times (well, as much as you can), stay hydrated especially with hot/warm water and no need for the masks. It is only for those who are infected or show signs of the infection. But if you wish to use one, please don't overuse it. Use it only two times and then dispose. It is for your health safety too before you give yourself another kind of infection.

As it is, precautions are still being taken with events and summits being cancelled as we speak around the world. The precautionary measures have to be this extreme even though the virus has a low mortality rate bcoz if we must beat this globally then we must do what we must to ensure its quick eradication.

Even a Conference for Coronavirus was cancelled because of the Coronavirus. So stay safe and panic not, coz there is nothing to fear.

I was a little dismissive until i listened to an infectious disease expert.

The risk factor for death rises with underlying factors. One of those factors is Obesity. 40% of American adults are Obese. If it picks pace in America, it can be disastrous.

@ Snerd, thanks for the piece above, do you mean to say "stay safe and do not panic"? Thanks.

Yep.. underlying conditions like these can raise the possibility of death from the virus. Obesity in the U.S.... that one is another topic sef. Now I feel for nations/Island nations like Tonga, American Samoa, Nauru et al that boast a large number of obese folks in their population.

You are welcome. And thanks... I had to add the comma to remove the confusion bcoz you called my attention to it.
