Greetings everyone!š
Reading people's articles on COVID-19 today brought me a lot of memories, and I laughed out loud reminiscing on those moments, from the news of taking chloroquine as a cure for COVID to social distancing, wearing of nose mask, and above all, its vaccination.
The chloroquine news
When this news of chloroquine came out as a prevention and cure for COVID, my soul went to heaven instantly, leaving my body on earth. I was so scared because I would prefer to be infected with COVID-19 than to take chloroquine. Gosh! That medicine is my hell on Earth.
During those days when I used to take it, the body scratching would last me for a month...this is not exaggeration.
Although I didn't see anyone taking chloroquine to prevent or cure COVID-19 in my environment because my community was immune to it, I heard a lot of news about how people jumped on it in the top cities, to the extent that chloroquine became a scare commodity like money. The producers of chloroquine really cashed out well.
The social distancing and nose mask
I was in the village then, and churches were restricted to close gatherings. During that period, we were attending early morning church, and as ministers using the altar, we would come out from our distance seats to mount the altar to take one assignment or the other. There was a deacon among us, an elderly man who's conscious of his life, probably he had seen enough alarming news from vanguard news paper. He refused to sit in the church auditorium because he felt the church was too crowded for his taste(meanwhile, we were just 20 in a auditorium with 300 sitting capacity). He would walk up to the altar from outside to take assignments and use the same microphone that all of us have been using. He failed to calculate that it's not idea to use the same microphone with us....he could have brought his personal microphone from home.
During this season of nose masks, there's a particular type meant for the rich ones; once they have it on their faces, they become relatives of Elon Musk.
This particular face mask, which is supposed to be a nose mask, has a glass on its front, covering the breeze from reaching the face. Once this set of people wears it, they think the COVID symptom will be scared to penetrate to their face. Let me tell you, one of the top politicians who used it in my country got humbled by this COVID.
Vaccination
I want to ask:
Are you vaccinated? Did you take the full dose or did you stop at one? If you've yet to get vaccinated, what's your reason?
I bet you, 80% of Nigerians are yet to be vaccinated. Why? It's because we don't want to die. Even though the reason sounds childish, that's just it.
There was a time when one lady in my church unit was about to travel to Germany immediately after the lockdown was lifted. She was asked to bring along her vaccination card, and that's how she paused her travel processing because she didn't want to die from the COVID-19 vaccine.
Oh! It's so clear: "The government has hijacked the innocent vaccine sent to us by the World Health Organization; they've added chemicals to claim the lives of Christians." This was one of the news stories that circulated in the country.
Aside from this, we also heard that the country where COVID originated via the 5G network and co. had brought the vaccine to end the lives of people completely to fulfill their mission.
It became worse when we heard that people who got vaccinated fell sick within days.
Omo! What did we not hear?
As for me, I wasn't reallyready to take the vaccine because injection scares my life away.
Thanks for reading.
