There’s a serious Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria right now where 146 people have been confirmed dead in 11 weeks and there have been 582 confirmed cases.
25 doctors have been infected, and 3 have lost their lives.
If you are reading this, please stay safe. This virus spreads through the urine or droppings of infected rats, or human-to-human contact.
It starts like an ordinary fever, but it can quickly move to bleeding, a swollen face, and shock.
ALWAYS:
1. Cover your food and pots tightly.
2. Block the holes where rats enter your house.
3. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
4. If you have a persistent fever, stop swallowing random drugs from the chemist. Go to the hospital immediately.
Our health workers are at risk, and proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is life-saving. We cannot afford to lose more people to a preventable disease.
Stay safe and retweet this to save a life today!
China just built a 1GW floating solar farm off Shandong. enough to power 2.67 million people. Nigeria gets an average of 7 hours of sunlight daily. Imagine something like this off a portion of the Lagos coastline. Capable of supplying stable electricity for over 10M people. We need to start thinking big.
One year ago today, Diogo Jota scored his last his ever goal for Liverpool.
It was the winner in the Merseyside derby at Anfield last season... Rest in Peace, Diogo. ❤️
