When Sam Smith sang “How Do You Sleep” questioning a lying partner on how they sleep with “all that shame and danger…all that fear and pressure,” we are sure many did not get his message.

An unidentified patient may just know what this means after he tested positive to the novel coronavirus that is currently rocking the world.

According to a report by The Sun he disclosed to public health coordinators in the north of England the truth about how he picked up the virus.

A source told the news outlet that when the man returned home, he began showing symptoms of the deadly bug, and tests confirmed that he was in fact infected.

“This patient is the talk of public health officials,” a source with knowledge of the situation told the outlet. “His case would be funny if it wasn’t quite so serious.”

“The man confessed [to doctors] what he’d been up to in Italy, and that his wife has no idea,” the source added. “She thinks he just picked up the disease on his business trip away.”

He has refused to name his mistress but due to his condition, his wife is currently self-isolating at their lavish home.

“Despite his infection, he is expected to survive the outbreak, unlike his extra-marital relationship.

“He thought he had the perfect alibi to carry out his affair but hadn’t reckoned on the coronavirus meltdown. The patient is just relieved he got home before flights were cancelled – that would have taken some explaining.”

They added:

“He’s in a blind panic, but more about his adultery being exposed rather than his health.”

Italy is battling the largest coronavirus outbreak outside Asia — with 31,506 total cases and 2,503 deaths reported by Tuesday, officials announced.

How Nigeria’s High Fertility Rate Promotes Insecurity – Experts

Published

on

By

Nigeria’s high fertility rate is associated with increased insecurity, banditry, underemployment, and maternal and infant mortality in the country, experts have said.

Nigeria’s fertility rate, which is said to be 5.3 births per woman, is one of the highest in the world.

The fertility rate is the number of children born alive to women during the year as a proportion of the average annual population of women of the same age.

The Chairman of the Association for the Advancement of Family Planning, Dr Ejike Orji, said the growing youth population encouraged insecurity in the country.

“We have this youthful bulge where 72 per cent of the population is under the age of 30. They don’t have jobs, so they can easily be recruited as bandits, kidnappers, religious bigots, ethnic bigots and unscrupulous politicians.

“That is why we have this very terrible insecurity that we have in the country right now, and we have 18.5 million out-of-school children. After that, you see a high level of emigration because young people are finding Nigeria very uncomfortable, and both skilled and unskilled are leaving the country.

“Then, you have armed robbers, kidnappers, and bandits killing people all over the country,” Orji said.

Also, the President of the Association for Reproductive and Family Health, Prof Oladapo Ladipo, said the negative effects of overpopulation were expressed in different ways, including insecurity.

He said, “When you have the nexus of overpopulation, underemployment, inequity, what you have is a growth of radicalism and banditry, and that is what we have now.

“What you need is qualitative reproduction, not quantitative reproduction. Have the number of children you can cater to and bring up in a healthy environment, and provide resources for their education.

“But what we have now is reckless reproduction, and that is why we have so many almajiris. We have many people with certificates but no jobs.

“The government itself is overwhelmed by the population. The number of bed spaces is not enough for the population. The number of institutions is not enough for the youths that are growing up,” he added.

The experts, however, said with free maternal health services and an increase in family planning, funding would reduce the high fertility rate and maternal mortality.

Nigeria’s maternal mortality rate is still among the highest in the world, with an estimated 512 deaths per 100,000 live births, making the country far from achieving the Sustainable Development Goal target of reducing the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births.
