Coronavirus Is Real
Coronavirus is the most popular item on the lips of every individual on planet earth today. Medical practitioners have confirmed that Coronavirus can be contracted through droplets from a victim of the virus.
The only danger we know about is contact with a person with Coronavirus, either if the victim already has symptoms or not. But recently, we are getting to know that your place of birth can be a danger sign at this time where the lives of humans seem to be at risk of being snatched by Coronavirus.
Becoming a citizen of a country can come through different means if you were born in a country is one of them. For instance, if your parents are Nigerians and you were born in America, or Canada makes you a dual citizen of both countries.
That has been a blessing for Nigerians born in developed countries, and it is much more a blessing at this crucial time.
Recently, this was highlighted when the government of Canada came to Nigeria to evacuate its citizens through the Abuja International Airport.
One would expect to see a lot of white complexioned persons in the queue, nut alas it was filled with about 85% blacks. This means these blacks are Africans who were born in Canada.
As of today, Canada has 16,667 confirmed cases of Coronavirus, 323 deaths, while 3,616 people have recovered from the virus. Meanwhile, Nigeria, where they have been evacuated from, has 232 confirmed cases, five deaths, and 33 recoveries.
With the wide margins between these two countries, the government of Canada still believes its citizens are safer within its borders than in Nigeria, and other countries it has evacuated are citizens.
International organisations have worried about Nigeria’s ability to contain a possible outbreak and widespread of the Coronavirus, but the Nigerian government has continued to boast of its readiness to combat such.
For Nigerians with dual citizenship and have been evacuated by their second country, would you say they are in safer hands?
On the other hands, for persons who were born in third world countries with medical system measured not be potent enough to withstand the Coronavirus pandemic and are not oppourtuned to go elsewhere like those in the first category, can we say their place of birth is a danger for them?
The main question now is, where is safe at this point? Are there safe places or safety measures?
As much as the place you were born can be a blessing to you as to getting the best health care services that can match up with this current situation, it could also be a danger.
Stay safe by staying at home.
