A Nigerian
doctor, Urchilla, has revealed why he believes the coronavirus has been in
Nigeria since December, 2019, with no one noticing.
Taking to his
Twitter page, he revealed that in recent times, he handled a lot of patients
with
respiratory related issues, adding that the sickness disappeared by itself
few weeks after.
He wrote; “I
honestly believe covid19 has been with us in Nigeria since December. It’s only
natural considering the amount of steady traffic between China & Nigeria.
Add to this the fact that I had to handle a lot of patients around mid/late
January with bizarre respiratory issues,
Culminating
in myself having my own severe respiratory issue from same mid-January that
disappeared after 2 weeks. It started with a sore throat then a fever then
severe dry cough that lasted about 10 days before it started to get better. The
after effects still leaves me with occasional chest muscle spasms &
possible costochondritis.
I’ve mulled
over this in my mind alone until I had a discussion with a cardiologist some
day & he said things that mirrored my thoughts exactly without me having
said anything first. Also said he had severe respiratory issues around the same
time himself to the point he was scared he had T.B; plus also confirmed he
handled numerous of such cases around the same time.
I listened to
an interview from the head of NCDC where he said the cases in Nigeria are
majorly mild to moderate symptoms and this leads me to strongly believe that
the insults our immune systems have had to withstand over time may just be
playing a positive role for us in all of this.“
