AN OPEN LETTER TO FELLOW DOVES

We all know the drill, wash your hands and sanitize as often as possible. Be careful of doorknobs, surface areas etc:

As the lock down gets lifted from Monday the 4^th of May, let’s expect the numbers to skyrocket. There is no need to be afraid, some people may say.  After all, fear has never solved any problem. Look at everyone as asymptomatic and watch out for yourself.

You can only vouch for what YOU have touched and how hygienic you have been, same cannot be said of your colleagues or the guy you are sharing Keke Marwa with. You need to really watch out for yourself.

Need I remind you that when push comes to shove in Nigeria, you are basically on your own.

1. The government cannot manage a full brown country wide crisis.

2. Ask yourself, can I afford the treatment if there are no spaces in the isolation wards.

3. Now, finally ask will any hospital take me?

As soon as you get back in to your homes, do not touch anything or anyone till you have changed your clothing and wash down properly. This is where you people who like to wear same clothes 3 times before washing will have a problem. You know I will never stop yanking you guys about hygiene. Do not wear the same clothes!!! Do not mix worn clothes with fresh ones in your room.

People may term you rude when you tell others not to speak in your face. See, that virus flies via droplets. You know there are people who cannot talk without spraying saliva. For some it is the set up of their teeth and for some we can’t even tell. But spray they must.

Are you in the habit of sneezing in the air? Oh well, you don’t but I have met people who do. Bend their heads to one corner and spray the nonsense from their nostrils into the air.

Stop touching people!! You can pass information to anyone without touching them.  Continue to keep the 6 ft distance between you and others. The cloth face mask that you have on is not a substitute for social distancing.

On the flip side though, with the face mask covering nose and mouth maybe the people with mouth odours can actually now have a taste of their own medicine and possibly   do something about it.

Also, watch out for the older ones. Keep them safe as much as possible. Their immune system is not as strong as the younger folks, though we have heard of a 13 year old without underlying health issue dying from this same virus.

Medics have come up with the different vitamin supplements to take to boost our immune system, TAKE everything. From A to Z, God punish covid-19.

The goal is to stay alive, and may the best immune system win.

Till I come your way again, never stop washing your hands and using your sanitizers.

With all my love,

Fola.
NB: when it comes to medication, please follow the NCDC guidelines. Before you start to mix ginger with garlic and onions.....i'm not there.
