Lessons from Nigeria in Responding to Coronavirus
By Ifeanyi NsoforABUJA, Mar 20 2020 (IPS) Coronavirus is now a pandemic and the World Health Organization considers Europe as its new epicenter. Italy, Spain and France are on lockdown and several nations are banning travelers from countries where cases are on the rise.

“Chinese health authorities say an outbreak of a pneumonia-like illness has sickened 305 people and killed five”… No, this is not an excerpt from a recent news report about the Wuhan virus, but it is actually one from a CNN piece from 2003 when the SARS outbreak was raging. There are many similarities between the current outbreak to the SARS one from its geolocation to its spread to the viruses themselves.
However, much has changed within the 17 year gap between those two pandemics. For one, technology in the healthcare sector has known an exponential boom. New technologies that were nonexistent or...

Researchers are enrolling 6,000 people from 2,000 families and they will look at the percentage of kids infected who actually develop symptoms. The families are already participating in federally-funded pediatric research studies in 11 cities, including Boston.
The researchers will also study if there is any difference in those numbers for children who have asthma or other allergies.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, is sponsoring and funding the s...

Councils need much more to deal with coronavirus funding shortfall, says UNISON
Commenting on funding announced today (Thursday) by local government secretary Robert Jenrick to help councils cope with the impact of coronavirus, UNISON head of local government Jon Richards said:
“Council workers are the unsung heroes who’ve been serving communities and keeping us safe throughout the pandemic.
“Local authorities are facing a massive funding gap, coupled with huge holes in their income from taxes, fees and charges, because of the virus. But services will be in even greater demand in the coming months as the UK copes with the coronavirus aftershocks.
“Ministers promised councils would be compens...
