I bring you plenty of hope, as I don’t believe in apocalyptic messages of hopeless resignation in times like this.
We should seek out for those glimmers of solutions and hope, and share them more.
However, it’s equally necessary to share realistic and realizable hopes, so that we all can get really prepared for things that lie ahead of us. But certainly not false hopes.
For it’s even more dangerous to delude ourselves in false hopes and expectations.
In times like this, unpreparedness is a recipe for distraught, disappointments, depression and wanton anxieties.
So, here’s my little analysis that has inspired my penultimate post.
Now, the government is seriously hunting for about five thousand people that have come in contact with the Coro patients already.
It’ll usually take an average of 14days for Coronavirus to manifest in each set of people; this is called the incubation period.
Because some of these people may have passed it to second, third and fourth generation patients, it’s therefore projected that we may need 14days times to ensure that every vestige of Coronavirus is blotted out of the country. That’s even about 14 weeks.
But I figured, it may just take some modest 12 weeks approximately.
But there’s plenty hope that the vaccines against Coronavirus will most likely be out before then, which means we may not necessarily need up to that long period.
The vaccine is already being tested and is going through its final laboratory confirmation.
The beautiful thing is that this disease is not terminal or a death sentence.
I don’t even think any Nigerian patient is critical or on a ventilator.
Coronavirus will soon be a thing of the past.
But, for now, kindly relax all your ambitions and huge expectations for 2020, at least for now, as we collectively get on this particularly rough ride.
Stay home to stay safe and stop the virus from spreading any more than it already has.
