Olufunmilayo via the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, also revealed that 32 doctors in Kano now have the dreaded infectious disease, Coronavirus. Olufunmilayo who complained that he is worried, questioned when FG will take over Kano.

He tweeted;

“JUST IN: 32 doctors now have Coronavirus in Kano. One of them has died.

I did NOT say 32 doctors are exposed.
I did NOT say 32 doctors are at risk.
I did NOT say 32 doctors may have it.

32 doctors in Kano are ALREADY confirmed positive for COVID-19.”

“Remember Kano has released lockdown for two days every week. Imagine the wider repercussions and implications of that insane decision.

“These things worry me a lot,” he added.

Do you know what it means for 32 doctors to have Coronavirus? Let me break it down to you.

In Nigeria, the doctor:patient ratio is about 1 doctor to 4,000 patients.

So being modest, we can say on the average, each doctor in Kano will see hundreds of people daily- if not weekly.

If 1 doctor has the virus and let’s say he sees 100 patients in one week (it is definitely MORE but let’s use this figure), that means he can pass on the virus to 100 people.

Now imagine 32 doctors infected.
That means potentially 3,200 people can get it from them in one week.

Imagine their families.
Imagine their friends.
Imagine all the people those ones will give the virus to, as well.

Remember Kano has released lockdown for two days every week. Imagine the wider repercussions and implications of that insane decision.

These things worry me a lot.

Do you now see why the Kano Covid19 Task Force said that 80% of all tests in Kano are positive?

The FG needs to step in and take over the Covid19 management in Kano. It is an absolute mess as it is.

And the more we leave it to that dollar-grabbing clown, we will all suffer it.
