A short thread- Covid & 2021 for Nigeria:
Things will get better this year but manage your expectations.
Vaccines will be easier than expected to access for the willing - uptake challenges in Q2
Reinfection & nastier variants will be the second theme of the year

If you're still dodging Corona then N95 or FF2P masks will be the only way to go (& double masking).
Most of Ng public is not sold on precautions anymore so it'll be a hard path for vulnerable & companies trying to manage
Travel will continue to be both a challenge & a risk

Get ready for Covid vaccine cards as a pre-req for travel (see Australia). They're inevitable.
Also brace for likelihood of annual booster shots.
Don't be so fussy about vaccines- they all have stellar record against severe illness

If you want to stay healthy & away from Covid (re)infection this year
1. Forget about eating indoors
2. Minimize your indoor meetings (& double mask)
3. Travel as if you're in a "hot zone"
But that's not all...

The biggie for 2021 is probably make clear choices as a household.
If the kids are in school or one of you is at regular work then that defines your exposure (and your relatives).
Manage that ...& your expectations.

Have a plan for one or more of you catching Covid (and don't be surprised when symptoms are not typical).
For vast majority it's not so bad but have a plan that includes well informed docs

By all means keep taking your multivitamins .... and sensible levels of zinc if you must.
But get proper medical advice and do some critical reading before taking ivermectin (especially those of you taking it as a preventive !)
Self medication can harm !

Spend a bit of your 2021 trying to be constructive in your community on vaccines.
Lecturing won't work.
Normalizing covid vaccines will be important as vaccination is far more than about individual outcomes.
It's the scope for mutation that is the game.
