CORONA PANDEMIC - EURASIAN SCIENCE GONE WRONG
COVID-19 II represents Eurasian scientific study gone wrong.
It is now affecting the whole world, although African causalities remain confined to those with serious ongoing health issues, low immune system and imported cases from Europe and America.
The most affected group of people to die from coronavirus are elderly European men and people with the lowest immune system, i.e. suffering from underlying health issues.
The development of COVID-19 II has been a slow one for African people all over the world. The pace of the spread of coronavirus is significantly slower than Europe and America. Here's a reminder of events in Nigeria:
Corona Ground Zero:
24th February 2020 - The Italian, whose country is the worst-hit in Europe by the coronavirus outbreak, arrived in Lagos on a Turkish Airlines flight that had a connection in Istanbul.
25th February 2020 - He spent one night in a hotel near the airport, before arriving in the neighbouring state of Ogun at his place of work. He stayed there until he developed a fever and body aches on the afternoon of 26 February.
26th February 2020 - Health practitioners with his company then contacted biosecurity authorities, who transferred him to a containment facility in Yaba, Lagos state.
3 Days passed before he was isolated.
Most definitely there should be more than 174 cases in Nigeria, but tests were done on those exposed to the Italian and they all came back negative for coronavirus.
Nigeria Tracing First Coronavirus Case in Sub-Saharan Africa - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-28/nigeria-confirms-first-coronavirus-case-in-sub-saharan-africa
These were the official statistics in February. You will see the total number of cases and new cases have not increased at the same pace as Europe or America.
COVID-19 II has been in Nigeria since February and is one country that should be ravaged by coronavirus, but WHO reports Nigeria now has just 174 cases and 2 deaths. African health officials are ready for coronavirus in the same way they were ready for Ebola.
That being said, is the Eurocentric response to a potential African pandemic the right way to approach COVID-19 II?
Does scattering the livelihoods of millions of people justify the current lockdown approach, when African vegetables and herbs are known to counter all known illnesses?
