  1. Honestly my first thought was...
    Back to normal.
    The traffic and hustle continues.
    I think with the way the govt is relaxing the measures in place is one reason people are doubting the virus existence.
    The govt is gradually letting the guard down so what should they expect in return??

    1. I seriously doubt this virus is in Naija sha, I was at the market the other day, no one was wearing a mask, people were living their normal life and obviously no one has fallen ill or died, my mum recently travelled to the village and no one cares either, they said if the virus was killing people, they would have been burials everyday and sick people everywhere but nothing like that, why are they opening everywhere now, did anything change? Is their a cure now? There is Coronavirus here biko, if at all there is I believe the virus cannot be spread easily because of our weather reason it’s circulating amongst the high and mighty
