As the world continues to fight COVID-19 and implement new routines to curb its spread we on the other hand are learning more about ourselves. Here’s a list of 7 ingenious things COVID-19 has taught Nigerians;
1. There are lot of dirty people among us.
Proven by the fact that before this pandemic hit, bath time was the only time people actually washed their hands. And don’t even get us started on the special demographic of people that no longer bath since they won’t be leaving their houses.
2. There’s a lot about our planet that we still don’t know yet.
We are in 2020 and no one knew about COVID-19 until just last year. Anyone else wondering what else lies in the unknown? 5 months later and we still don’t know a cure or vaccine yet.
3. Health workers are the real heroes.
Of course by now you must already know this. They are the ones at the forefront of this war against COVID-19, showing up daily and working round the clock to keep people safe and treat infected patients.
4. We need to stop eating in the rubbish.
There’s a reason “edible” is a word. First the Ebola Virus, and now this new Coronavirus. The message is clear, stop eating in the nonsense please.
5. Healthcare is the most important sector.
Barely 4 months into the fight against COVID-19 and health care systems around the world are already overwhelmed. If we had pumped more into the healthcare sector we would be more equipped against this virus.
6. A lot of people are willing to believe anything and everything.
Ergo; 5G conspiracy theorists, whatsapp broadcasts envoys, social media people constantly talking in the nonsense about further nonsense.
7. Men can actually live without sports.
Of course we noticed that it’s almost been 3 months without sports and there has been no single report of a fatal case of Sports Withdrawal Syndrome. Who would have thought people could go 3 months without starting another Messi/Ronaldo debate?
