COVID-19, Lagos and Nigeria
If Lagos was not to witness a social explosion, it had to reopen its economy weeks ago. Better a few hundred deaths than a revolution spurred by hunger. It was the right decision.
With nearly half of the 15,181 infections in Nigeria, Lagos, the epicentre of COVID-19, has an unacceptably high and increasing rate of infections. It surrendered to the Okada menace, and has not been scrupulous in enforcing other protocols.To re-impose lockdown is of course out of the question, but together with the federal government, Lagosians and the rest of the country must be compelled to abide by the rules of the lockdown relaxation.
By Friday, Nigeria had become less competitive with more than 15,000 people infected and a mortality rate of 2.66 percent . Compare this figure with Ghana’s 10,358 infections and mortality rate of 0.46 percent .
