I get tired of constantly being ahead of the Nigerian curve. First I said that the govt was lying about the COVID-19 spread rate, they said I was "spreading panic."

Now they've realised I was right, and they're going on about a "lockdown." I've already told you people what to do

Secondary and tertiary healthcare intervention = non starter because no capacity.

Lockdown = probable end of Nigerian civilisation as we know it.

The only workable solution is to ACCEPT OUR LIMITATIONS and prepare for widespread symptom management. It is not particularly fatal!

Put out a nationwide information campaign detailing how to deal with COVID-19 symptoms and limit the spread when sumptoms develop, emphasizing that its death rate for healthy under-60s is 0.8% and Nigeria's median age is 17.

We are not going to die.

But since Nigerians always want to pretend that they are Luxembourg or Austria, as against the world's poverty capital, insult me for telling you this and tell me "shame on you."

By next month as usual, my mentions will be filled with "David Hundeyin was right."

Yes, I am recommending that the authorities should lead an information campaign teaching people effective COVID-19 self care and self medication. I said what I said. This country does not have the medical capacity to care for 300,000 patients, so ACCEPT IT and ADAPT THE STRATEGY.

If you don't do that, Nigerians are going to self-medicate anyway, only they will end up taking dangerous drugs like chloroquine or concoctions sold by scammers. So instead seize the goddamn initiative and LEAD.

But no, please attack me for stating the obvious.
