by health experts as a means of preventing the transmission of the deadly Coronavirus otherwise called Covid-19.Health experts say it protects the wearer from exposure to the virus through human droplets, particularly the saliva. However, more and more residents of Lagos are shunning the use of face masks in spite of threats by the state government to sanction defaulters.
She said: “I no longer use face masks because I don’t believe there is Coronavirus in the country. I am saying this against the revelation by many people purportedly infected who came out of isolation and said they were treated with anti-malaria drugs. “I only move around with a face mask in my hand to avoid being harassed or arrested by the police for flouting the order regarding compulsory wearing of face mask.”
“To me, therefore, the disease is not in existence in Nigeria. Our political leaders are just trying to latch on to it in order to siphon public funds.” “Those we are made to believe were victims of Covid-19 might have died from different diseases entirely. The Federal Government should just stop deceiving us and allow the resumption of social activities in the country.”
“Instead of going to isolation centre, I decided to visit a private hospital where I was diagnosed with acute malaria and I am now hale and hearty. Therefore, I don’t think the figures being bandied as the number of infected persons are correct. “If severe malaria is what the western nations have contrived as Covid-19, definitely a face mask cannot prevent it. That is why I neither believe in its existence nor wear a face mask as preventive measure.
“A layered cotton fabric over the mouth and nose guards against particle emission during laughter, exclamation or loud talk and may offer mutual protection to wearers, especially where social distancing may not be achieved, or where close contact may not be avoided with certainty, such as markets.
