Covid-19 has infected over 300, 000, killed about 13, 000 with 27 cases in Nigeria, two discharged, and none dead.
Suddenly, there is a rash of activities from our leaders: international flights cancelled; allowable crowds reduced (to 20 from 50); and those who these directives defy – arrest. Why did it take this long?
We were privileged to have seen this virus’ destructive curve in other countries, did we have to wait till now to take these ‘common-sensical’ measures? We plead with our leaders to please be more pro-active by learning from other countries rather than endlessly waiting till the last minute. It could be the difference between hundreds if not thousands of lives.
Yesterday, 80 million Americans were ordered to stay home. Isn’t it time we also stayed home? Please stay home. There will be many more days and years to do whatever we desire if only we stay alive. True, social distancing helps; truer is the fact that staying home is best.
Being a very religious people, if we can cancel public worship, then all other outings can wait. This is a wrong time to catch up on social visits, you don’t know who has the virus. Infected people can be asymptomatic, i.e, have no symptoms for days.
Only the living can live. Stay home to stay alive.
