Coronavirus: Idris Elba is the latest Hollywood Star to test Positive for COVID-19
Idris Elba has tweeted that he’s tested positive for coronavirus, joining Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and a growing list of people who are self-quarantining.
Here’s his Tweet, in which he describes how it happened, and gives a realistic sense of the need to be cautious.
This morning I tested positive for Covid 19. I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus. Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing ???? No panic. pic.twitter.com/Lg7HVMZglZ

You hate to see anyone test positive, but much the way that Hanks did when he discussed his positive test, Elba might help demystify this terrible crisis. ?☹️??

March 17, 11:07Idris Elba currently has an estimated networth of 25 million dollars …trust me , he’s going to be fine .
What we should be most worried about is our own country Nigeria .
Our health system is a mess .
Isolation is not possible in an overcrowded country.
Illiteracy and ignorance – how do you start telling your sixty year old relations that they have to isolate themselves ??♂️
Religious fanaticism – people would rather go to churches seeking for miracles than going to hospitals . Thus exposing others to the disease .??♂️
Fear / stigma….
Poverty / preexisting diseases.
**************
The whole crap of black men being resistant to the disease has been proven as a scam.
Thermophobia – another scam , the disease has thrived in Iran and so many other hot legions .
******************
What works for us ?
A relatively young population.
About 45 percent of Nigerians are around the ages of 15 and below unlike Italy (one country where the disease has had deleterious effects )with a much older population.
What we should do?
Pray – Contrary to what your pastors and clergymen will tell you , God loves the gays just as much as He loves the straights .
This is the best time to run to Him .
Maintain good hygiene – wash your motherfucking hands ! ??♂️
If you can help it , don’t go swapping bodily fluids with strangers . Keep your damn legs closed and your saliva to yourself .
This is nearly impossible in Nigeria but if you’re one the few previleged that can afford it , maintain safe social distance.
*********
How antibiotic soaps work in preventing viruses ?
The virus is a self-assembled nanoparticle and the weakest link is the lipid bilayer. When you wash your hands with soap it dissolves the fatty membrane and the virus falls apart thus becoming “inactive”. *copied *
*********
All in all , let’s just pray that for some reason , this virus doesn’t become very active in Nigeria .
Because if that happens , we might as well skip the grocery shopping and rather buy caskets .??♂️
