Nigerian Adhering to these instructions is sufficient to prevent the virus by UNICEF

Image
Unicef The corona virus is large in size with a cell diameter of 400-500 micro, so any mask prevents its entry so there is no need to exploit pharmacists to trade with muzzles. The virus does not settle in the air, but on the ground, so it is not transmitted by the air. The corona virus, when it falls on a metal surface, will live for 12 hours, so washing hands with soap and water well will do the trick. Corona virus when it falls on fabrics stays for 9 hours so washing clothes or exposing them to the sun for two hours is enough for the purpose of killing him. The virus lives on the hands for 10 minutes so putting the alcohol sanitizer in the pocket is enough for the purpose of prevention. If the virus is exposed to a temperature of 26-27°C, it will be killed, it does not live in hot areas. Also drinking hot water and exposure to the sun is good enough. Stay away from *ice cream and cold food is important.* Gargling with warm water and salt kills tonsils and prevents

'Donald Trump is undermining doctors on coronavirus,' say democratic nominees

Image
Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have hit out at Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak during the latest Democratic debate. The pair faced off in a Washington TV studio with no audience in a move made to limit possible exposure to  the virus . With limited testing available, US officials have recorded nearly 3,000 cases and 65 deaths in the outbreak, up from 58 on Saturday.

Obesere: How I made more money from a song in one week than I did 19 years ago

Image
You’ve been the buzz on social media in the past few weeks over one of your hit songs, ‘Egungun Be Careful’, which was released 19 years ago. What’s behind the resurgence? There is nothing without God’s knowledge. I will say thanks to the Almighty who let that happen because all I was told is that it has never happened before. I remember that even the time I dropped the album it was really accepted as well. It is beyond my own imagination as well. One thing I know is that the kind of music I play never fades. In whatever you’re doing, don’t limit it to just today but always think about tomorrow. I may be singing with slangs but all the slangs that I use have meaning and that is why ‘Egungun Be Careful’ is still relevant today. ‘Egungun Be Careful’ is just like a warning that anybody can use anytime. You may be going out with a lady that doesn’t suit you but you don’t know and people will be telling you that you better be careful with that lady you are going out

Coronavirus: Clubs not forced to release international players as FIFA recommends postponements

Image
Clubs will not be forced to release their players for international duty in March and April amid the coronavirus crisis, with FIFA recommending fixture postponements. Football has largely come to a standstill worldwide as associations attempt to combat the spread of a virus that has already led to over 5,000 deaths. The Champions League and Europa League have notably been suspended, along with each of Europe’s top five leagues. Fixtures in MLS, the Scottish Premiership and the English Football League are also all off. The Premier League, Serie A and LaLiga have paused play until after the scheduled upcoming international break, while the Ligue 1 season has been postponed until further notice.  International football now appears unlikely to continue, too, as clubs – usually powerless to prevent call-ups – have received permission to keep their players following a FIFA Council decision. FIFA will not impose the postponement of all forthcoming fixtures but is encourag
