Maybe the US wants to test it on him since no African has died from the virus

They may have already started to test it on Africans to see why it's not affecting black people against all the odds...

You have same mindset of that of American capitalists that believe it's just a flu, just to avoid panic because of their capital in the stocks. They simply place economy before lives. China Where it originated from shutdown everything to stop the spread but USA under rate everything until it goes out of hand. Keep saying it's ordinary Flu while lives keep wasting away
It is actually a flu virus. It is not mere say, you can check it up yourself. How many lives are being wasted?.The American Flu virus kills about 500,000 every year. This has a mortality rate of about 1%. So I am not guessing but laying down facts. The thing media fails to show you is those that recover, they keep concentrating on the few deaths and leaving the recovery which is about 98% of those infected... Which raises panic and making the world economy do bad. Recently WHO says panic and overreaction can have a counter influence which we are seeing now. Like I said, it has come and will surely go

Watch as they will turn it racial abuse forgotten he contacted it in their country and not in Nigeria.

The next you will hear is travel ban on all Nigerians living in US never to travel to other states.

Its their virus they should treat him. I remember how the West insulted Africa and blacks because if Ebola mow its their turn let them swallow the pain with joy.

I doubt this story.
An american was repatriated from China to the USA .
He was interviewed after the said self isolation but was seen coughing seriously on live TV.
They let him go home.
So, why is the identity of this Nigerian hidden.

The virus could be running rampant in Nigeria but we don't know due to poor testing facilities.

It is very possible

Honestly.
People could be using procold for it right now.
Of course it's not that fatal, so might be undetected.

It's difficult to test in a country where people will hardly go to any hospital for just 'flu'.
Must you guys be negative in all situations? This corona nonsense hasn’t caught any African in his own soil as far as I know. If people had caught it we would have heard deaths no matter what. It’s been past 14days since the Italian man came and all the people they quarantined tested negative so why are you being so negative all the time. Try to be positive Abeg. Too negative minded is bad for you and that guy you quoted.

your inferiority complex is smelling

So, we have facilities to detect Ebola and Lassa fever, but we don't have for Corona virus? Do you know of anyone that has contracted it among your family and friends, that you will come online to make such a statement?

The Black race is not as useless as white men have made you believe. Nothing is running rampant in Nigeria

Saying Nigeria has poor health test facilities is a statement of fact. This pseudo-patriotism or ersatz national/racial pride you project is laughable.

The country has a general problem of lack of access (free or otherwise) to good health facilities. Lots of people with symptoms will try to shake it off as they can't afford (no paid leave, free healthcare, etc) to take time off to pay for tests in the rare and reliable places such tests are available. By the way, this is a problem that even rich countries are bedevilled with, never mind Nigeria - https://time.com/5794672/health-insurance-deductibles-coronavirus/

So even with lassa fever, the problem is more widespread than the headline figures tell you. Ebola is different as the mortality rate is so high, transmissibility relatively low, and nature of symptoms so stark that victims can be more easily identified and contained. Coronavirus has the disadvantage of being insidious, almost all victims will recover relatively unscathed. Nigeria has a disproportionately young populace that can shake off the virus which claims most of its victims from the elderly and those with pre-existing health problems.

So, yes, the virus can be running rampant to the obliviousness of Nigerians. To assert that it cannot be is the sort of delusional mindset of denial that hinders the country from tackling its myriad problems.

Apart from those travelling through airports, those who had contact with the Italian and a few Chinese who else has or is being tested. Do you know of any where you are.

Like someone said Nigerians hardly treat the flu by anyone other than themselves. And don't compare the ebola and the corona virus. The benign symptoms of corona is what is making it more virulent.

The spike in cases in rhe US lately is because they are only beginning to test 'inland' and nor just useless themometer checks at airports.

Call up any doctor you know here and ask him or her if he has performed any test for COVID 19 on any patient he has seen with a fever and cold.... let us know the outcome.

No, the report says He has been living with his family recently in Washington. Covid-19 would not surface until 3-14days, that means America gave him the disease.

Any Nigerian that loves himself should avoid USA for now. The country that used all her energy to criticize China when they were supposed to get everthing ready. China is coming out of the battle in the coming days victoriously, It's now the turn of USA to dance to tune of Corona

Well there is news that the Chinese situation is not true and the facts are being hidden to avoid a countty wide panic. That the data is being manipulated.

I will be wise to wait before commending or condeming. The virus isn't done yet. Nigeria and Africa too isn't out of danger.

Bowser said the initial case started exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 in late February. He was admitted to a Washington hospital on Thursday and appeared to have no history of international travel and no close contacts to any other confirmed cases across the US.

Alot of Nigerians are in denial to the danger this virus pose.

A lot. As for me now I know that it has no genetic exemptions I am focused on survival since it is almost certain most of the world will get it.

A leaked circular round US hospitals is telling them to preoare for a masaive 97 million admissions and treatments and a casualty figure of some 480,000 people.

Nigeria's population is about half (slightly more) that of the US. We don't have one tenth of the number of medical staff and hospital beds to handle this virus.

God is just being merciful to us while a vaccine is produced.
