The coronavirus diaries (1)

My work allows me to move about. As I coasted down the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, the commute which, on the best of days, takes a little over an hour to get to the office is accomplished in under 30 minutes.

But even as it goes about its assignment in wrecking ball fashion, everyone from scientist to politician is trying to understand it. In a way, the outbreak is like the mythical elephant which several blind men touched and tried to describe. We’ll explore this more in future diaries. I recall being shocked by some comments under a post announcing that Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, had tested positive. With a barely disguised ‘serves him right’ air one commentator asked the poster “What about the other person? I hope you understand who I mean by the ‘other person’?”

No one wants you to mess up their nice lives with an inconvenient infection. But let’s all remember that COVID-19 only brings sickness. Anyone can contract it and when the shoe is on the other foot we would expect to be treated with compassion.
