Corona triumph
With COVID-19 general panic, and cases climbing, the treatment and discharge of Oluwaseun Ayodeji Osowobi, with others from the Lagos isolation and treatment centre, offered a glittering ray of hope. Miss Osowobi captured that triumph more than any other: “l murdered Coronavirus!”
The Osowobi message is clear: COVID-19 is no death sentence. It can be treated and beaten. So, there is absolutely no need for panic or hysteria. Though Dr. Osage Ehanire, the minister of Health and Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, director-general of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control on April 2 warned more cases were likely, Nigeria’s handling of the case appears encouraging, given the parallel global situation report: 1, 005, 774 cases; 51, 633 deaths; 210, 555 active cases, by April 3.
That tough regime pronounces a message, loud and clear: prevention is better than cure. You cannot blame those like Miss Osowobi, who in search of daily bread travelled abroad only to come back with Coronavirus. It appears a seasonal price to pay for globalization, which otherwise has shrunk the globe and enhanced business opportunities.
But despite the Osun incident and the not unfair suggestion that Nigeria’s general COVID-19 test capacity be scaled up , the general mood would appear cautious optimism.
