A patient reported treating malaria first until she was screened for COVID-19 and found to be positive.
‘‘I got back from a trip and tested negative before I got on the plane.. I did malaria treatment.. I was experiencing all the symptoms and never thought about COVID-19.
I’m experiencing underlying medical problems. I’m suffering from a heart problem, but God rescued me.”she said.
One middle-aged woman telling her story stated:
”My sense of smell is gone., also have fever, headache and overall weakness in the body. You probably don’t know what it feels like till you experience it. That’s the reality of the situation.”
One more patient, an old lady who lives in Ibadan but travelled on Christmas holiday in Abuja, said;
”There was fever, then weakness, breathlessness. My lack of breath that got me out of the house.
This stuff is real. Don’t expect it to happen to you.”
One more patient, a man stated;
“My cough was persistent, a very full bloodied chesty pain and it was producing some very thick brownish sputum.
I never doubted it (COVID19) It isn’t a makeup news.”
