Nobody seems to be counting this one o

As we go all out on Corona, it would be equally great to do something serious on Lassa fever that has been over 1000% more deadly than Covid-19 since its recent outbreak . ncdc

Hey hey premium Times... You guys should better be careful there... How does Coronavises relate to lasafever huh? IFB ASAP

Well.. It's for the poorest of the poor.. The rich is not affected, so no government intervention.. Sorry

Me: looking at government ignore this particular one while they tilt every single attention towards Covid-19 that has only 6 recorded death cases, for maybe their selfish reasons.

This is already a serious threat than COVID-19. We should beef up preventive and curative measures against Lassa Fever. Thank God for the recoveries from COVID-19. Haven’t heard of a recovery from Lassa. Fmohnigeria please act!

Now the whole world is just viewing, putting eyes on Covid one nine only not Lassa Allah protect us

But,government careless about that,may GOD help us
