Have you been wondering why ordinary folks seem less affected by COVID-19?

Whenever my drivers, househelps and security guards come back from their leave, I always ask the state of things in their villages. Up till today, for the past one year, none has come back with any news of deaths or serious illnesses requiring hospitalisation in their homes or surroundings. I also visited Sabo market in Sagamu and the tomato market at tollgate in Ogere, Ogun State. I questioned many traders if any stall or store owners had been missing or did not come to the market or had actually died. Responses were always negative.

So clearly, prevalence of noticeable infection with coronavirus is less among the lower class and fatalities appear higher among the upper class. However, it is necessary to adjust for the fact that deaths among elites readily get media attention than those of regular folks. Nonetheless, Melinda Gates’ prediction failed woefully because there was no way she could have foreseen this factor in the spread of COVID-19. Overall infectivity and fatalities on the African continent are disproportionately far lower than the rest of the world!

WHAT IS THE MAGIC HERE?
Simply put, the magic is SUNLIGHT. People who are daily exposed to sunlight are able to convert some chemicals in their skins to vitamin D, especially D3. Scientists have incontrovertible evidence that Vitamin D seriously boosts human immunity and actually has capacity to prevent respiratory and lung diseases. In the case of COVID-19, vitamin D3 can prevent infection in some people, and in others who get infected, it decreases severity of the infection and recovery rate is far better.

Recently, a petition signed by 120 physicians spread across the globe, (I have a copy) has been sent to world leaders and governments to treat vitamin D deficiency common in Europe and Americas, who have effective sunlight for just a few months in a year and hence have large numbers of the populace suffering from vitamin deficiency, leading to high susceptibility to COVID-19 infections and deaths.
‌
Many of the elites in Africa are also vitamin D-deficient and this makes ready targets for COVID-19 infections also. This is because they are hardly in the sun all year round. Yet, a 30-minute lounge daily in bright sunlight gives about 20,000 iu of vitamin D in our blood. This figure is much higher than daily requirement which is about 4,000 iu vitamin D. This is why young people, students, hawkers, traders and many who toil daily under the sun have very high immunity against COVID-19.

So my dear elders, VIPs and ‘Ogas’, please walk leisurely or lounge in the sun for 20 to 30 minutes daily, and with your face masks always on in public and observing normal COVID-19 protocols. With daily supplications to the Almighty, you will place a ban on COVID-19 from affecting you and your household.

God bless you all.
