durodee: Durodee you have said it all. I still do not believe that that Italian guy was Nigeria's first index case. Nigeria's index case must be a Nigerian either from Europe or China. It was easy to suspect the Italian because as at that time Italy was emerging as the new epicentre. This is my thinking though and to also share in your belief that coronavirus was already in Nigeria far prior to the time the Italian was discovered. If not that this is a faceless forum 90% of respondents here would keep mute. SINCE THIS PANDEMIC THIS IS THE BEST INFORMATION BASE AS TO THE DEPTH OF COMMUNITY SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS. I wish responders were courageous enough to indicate location in giving their experiences. The information provided here can serve as a wealth of knowledge for the NCDC to utilize in their effort to better understand the dynamics of this virus. Almost all those who have personally fought off this virus had issues with taste and smelling. That for me is a huge marker, going forward. Massive self-medicating is already going on everywhere including some states that are shockingly saying that they are Covid-19 free. Nigeria's loose regulation in procuring prescription drugs over the counter has surprisingly paid off ![]() . 5 Likes 1 Share |

Babawale01: I'm not a fan of commenting on NL but this is mandatory as it'll enlightenment us all alot, I quoted this person because this was my exact symptoms, I'm AA and malaria is my regular customer once I'm bitten by a useless female mosquito but this particular malaria I had over the last 2weeks almost claimed my life, the pains was life threatening to the point that I almost lost hope and already telling my wife all things he doesn't know about my account details and all other things. The acute and joint pains was so severe that I visited the hospital for admission thrice on different occasions and I was highly disappointed that patients are only allowed to interact with the doctors via intercom in the process of preventing covid19. I had to complain seriously to my employer my state of health and how the hospital has restricted me seeing the doctor or conducting any test, meanwhile I've been give malaria drugs twice on the previous visits, the last I went I was then allowed to see the doctor after my employer had sent a mail, so on the third visit I was diagnosed of malaria again after taking a very traumatic malaria drugs with 1000mg emzor paracetamol I've never taken in my life. The doctor himself was surprised I still had malaria in my bloodstream and he then prescribed another harden malaria drugs to be pickup from the clinic pharmacy, I personally requested for admission cos I'm already feeling fainting and a severe headaches from different angles of my head. The doctor said there no patients on admission and I should even count myself lucky I was allowed in for test. To cut the whole bitter experiences epistle short, I started taking the tablets and took off some days of work, and after 3 days I started recovering and was left with the still headaches which I supported with "conc. agbo" herbs. The next was bitter taste followed by 100% loss of smell and taste. I've not experienced such in my life and Google suddenly became my friend, then to my greatest surprised I found that it was a symptoms of covid19 which was though not really included yet on the list but speculations are ongoing. Though, it was already late but I immediately isolated myself from my wife and children but I don't pray these loss of smell experience for my worst enemy. I started smelling everything around me, dettol o, morning fresh soap o, hand sanitizers o, perfume o, my armpit o, my shit for toilet "omo" I chuck my nose inside I dey tell you I no smell anything and thereafter feeding became my greatest enemy that I completely lost appetite and started feeling depressed. I called my inlaw who happened to be in the village and these few tips help gradually for recovering of smell and taste. Cooking saintleave as vegetable soup helped alot. My taste firstly returned because I chopped raw bitter leave and I greatly feel the taste and also salt taste came to normal but all these doesn't add up as sense of smell is what convenes taste to the brain. I continue eating the vegetables as my only diets and continue smelling all around until I started recovering the smell gradually, it's not 100% normal but at least I can enjoy my meals with some returned sense of smell. The list is endless. Kindly pardon my errors abeg, no time to proof read as I hurriedly type these on duty. 14 Likes |

showbiz4all27: Anybody who doubts the seriousness of this Corona virus pandemic, should read the words above, and bear in mind that the writer of the above account, is one of the LUCKY victims of this deadly virus, who lived to tell the tale of his journey to stand beside the ragged edge of human mortality, before returning to a semblance of physiological normalcy, as though awakening from an inescapable nightmare. Our man ShowBiz4All27 has explained here for the world to read, how he was "knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door", only for Papa God to award him yet more years and assignments among the living. This is a harrowing tale of survival whilst mentally burdened with the sobering realization that one was doing battle against a truly ominous, yet invisible nemesis, that as of yesterday, May 28th 2020, had already claimed the lives of 100 thousand Americans and counting, despite all the cutting edge medical facilities mobilized in America, to save lives. Personally, I was riveted with fear and apprehension as I read details about the way this terrifying illness manifested itself, at first masquerading as common malaria, before taking off its mask by deleting the victim's senses of taste and smell, while inflicting searing body pains and aches of intensity far beyond anything felt during the worst bouts of malaria one may have seen in the past. Any hasty re-opening of the Nigerian economy, with the current largely concealed wildfire spread of the contagion in Nigeria yet unchecked by rigorous testing regimes, would amount to an assured sentence of slow agonizing death to thousands, if not tens of thousands of Nigerian citizens, in a play-by-play repeat of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic's second far more devastating wave of infections which lead to mass mortality rates of the sort replaying now in Brazil today, where thousands of virus victims are buried DAILY, as these words are typed. 1 Like 1 Share |

Let them just open everything, most people have been infected, and we recovered. Let no one ask how am sure it's corona, have experience flu before. This one was different. Each breathing was like hot air. And my nose was blocked. I lost focus, but now am OK. I can smell again and breath well. God loves us to much in African, the corona came and we won the fight.

With more and more countries reporting new higher figures daily and others that had flatten their curves somewhat, it would seem this virus has come to stay. Skimming through reported cases, I find that the following countries are still battling though many are already working around it: Brazil 24,151 Qatar 1,993 India 7,300 Pakistan 2,801 Bangladesh 2,523 Iraq 322 Oman 811 Armenia 460 DR Congo 173 Kenya 146 Equatorial Guinea 263 Ethiopia 137 Nepal 170 Haiti 146 Bolivia 619 Argentina 769 Mexico 3,455 South Africa 1,468 Malawi 102 Philippines 539 Egypt 1,127 Gabon 112 Guinea 278 Colombia 1,127 Chile 4,654 Peru 5,874 Iran, Singapore, Sweden, Djibouti etc are recording astonishing breakouts leading to constant reviewing of their containment measures. No nation can sustain a prolonged lock down. We just have to chart a way to live around the contagion. Which nation do you think has the highest ratio of death to population? Most will think it is the US. Nah. San Marino, Belgium, UK, fall into that category thus far. |

Thank God for the courage of the op, and the honesty of various commenters so far. Mine started with serious body ache. High fever for two days and I went to the hospital without delay. Doctor treated Malaria. This was last week Tuesday and PH was on lockdown. By Friday i had totally lost sense of smell, but can taste sweetness and bitterness. I was so scared. The fever subsided but the body ache remained. I was so weak that i could hardly climb staircase. On a normal day I do 10k plus steps every two days while excercising. I could not believe this is happening to me. I already have bp problems and also on sugar medication. Scared shit. I called NCDC but no response. By Sunday the loss of smell persisted. I cannot perceive my perfume, soap, smoke, anything. My husband tried to assure me its not covid but deep within me I knew I have got it. I was scared for my children and family. How do i really isolate when i still dish out food and they always come in to talk to me. By Sunday I called earlier and was told to come to elekahia stadium for test. I went there in the afternoon but was told by security that they were not around. I went back to see my doctor and he simply told me to add home remedies. Crush ginger and garlic together, add to boiling water, and inhale the fumes while covered with a towel. I added dogonyaro leaves. This became my medication since then. I just got better. Taste and smell started returning yesterday. Its not like anything i have ever experienced all my life. My niece also developed symptoms on monday and was taking the same treatment. She is ok now. Guys, covid 19 is real. God is just merciful to us here in Nigeria. I thank God for the opportunity to share this experience. I am still isolating from the aged and vulnerable. 8 Likes |

AmazingELixir: Like I said I watched it on aljazera. It happened 3 days after their first release on covid-19 "immunity passport" I have also posted Reuter news from South Korea. What else do you want? Covid-19 cannot reinfect a recovered patient. So many researchers have said so. That was why Fauci was talking about 60 to 70 percent herd immunity. As long as a new strain did not emerge, covid-19 can never re infect an already infected patient. 2 Likes |

okpurukata: I am sending a direct link to this harrowing testimony you have shared here, to share with a few people I know who remain convinced that the impact of corona virus in Nigeria is being exaggerated by government officials, in order to maximize WHO emergency pandemic grants that may be allocated for Nigeria. This very rapidly growing discussion thread, containing several detailed and alarming accounts like yours, proves beyond any doubt that the virus is EXTREMELY prevalent throughout Nigeria's entire population. Hopefully, Nigerian medical authorities do monitor major Nigerian websites like Nairaland, as a valuable real-time supplemental source of epidemiological data, as writers from all over the Nigerian federation chime in to describe their symptoms which are now coalescing into a definite pattern of characteristic ailments, encompassing body pains more intense than those of malaria, accompanied by this widely reported sudden loss of smell and taste senses, among other less typical associated ailments. With all anecdotal evidence pointing to a very rapid spread of the virus in Nigeria, very serious thought must be given to the idea of extending the current lock-down nationwide, so as to avoid the sort of reappearance of the corona virus in several US states that have eased their own lock-downs recently. 3 Likes 1 Share |
