I thought I'd never have to speak on the novel Coronavirus but due to it's voraciousness, I will have to say a word or two.
A couple of persons said Earth is cleansing herself, some said nature is angry. A few other persons insisted that the world is coming to an end. I can remember the first time I heard about the virus, I was rather careless with the news and I made fun of it. "Oluwa wetin dey coronate" were the words on every student's lips in UNN. We laughed hard at it not knowing we'd be caught unawares. In a week the school ordered that every student should leave the premises to prevent further spread of the disease. I went home.
Within days the death toll in China was rising and they kept emphasising the need to flatten the curve; even if I didn't know what that meant at the time. I wasn't really getting scared because a bunch of Nigerians said the country was too hot for virus to survive. A few other persons said our government was using the virus to loot Cash.
The virus had penetrated the US and this led to total lockdown. At the time, Nigeria had only a few cases in Lagos. Italy and Spain was having a voracious death toll on a daily basis. Fear gripped me when I saw a video of dead bodies being disposed like garbage because the cemetery was full. I knew this was no longer a laughing matter.
Today, Nigeria has over 185 cases and 2 deaths. God what outrageous number Spain and Italy had at the time!
Now regardless of what anybody has to say, there's a need to stay safe. It doesn't matter if the world will be ending today, stay in doors and stop the spread! It may look unreal but you wouldn't want to wait until your lungs are clogged right? Wash your hands and stay safe!
