Nigeria is taking precaution against corona virus more than u s and u k dr joeabah swipe

I think there may be some misinformation here!

While Nigeria has indeed taken measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it's not accurate to say that Nigeria is taking more precautions than the United States and the United Kingdom.

Here are some facts to put things into perspective:

  1. Global response: The World Health Organization (WHO) has been at the forefront of the global response to COVID-19, providing guidance and support to countries worldwide. The WHO has worked closely with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK's National Health Service (NHS) to coordinate efforts.
  2. Testing and surveillance: The US and UK have implemented widespread testing and surveillance programs to detect and track cases of COVID-19. In contrast, Nigeria's testing capacity has been limited, and the country has faced challenges in accessing testing kits and equipment.
  3. Lockdowns and restrictions: The US and UK have implemented strict lockdowns and social distancing measures to slow the spread of the virus. Nigeria has also implemented some restrictions, including a lockdown in some states, but these measures have been less comprehensive and less effective in controlling the spread of the virus.
  4. Healthcare infrastructure: The US and UK have well-established healthcare systems with robust infrastructure, including hospitals, medical equipment, and trained healthcare professionals. Nigeria's healthcare system, while improving, still faces significant challenges, including a shortage of medical personnel, equipment, and resources.
  5. Economic impact: The economic impact of COVID-19 has been significant in all three countries, with widespread job losses, business closures, and disruptions to global supply chains. However, the US and UK have more diversified economies and stronger financial systems, which have helped to mitigate the economic impact.

Dr. Joe Abah, a Nigerian economist and public policy expert, may have been referring to the fact that Nigeria has taken some innovative measures to respond to the pandemic, such as using technology to track cases and contact tracing. However, it's important to recognize that the US and UK have also taken significant steps to respond to the pandemic, and it's not accurate to say that Nigeria is taking more precautions than these countries.

It's important to rely on credible sources of information and to avoid spreading misinformation, especially during times of crisis.
