Our level of indiscipline coupled with naked inquisitiveness is making the fight against Covid19 a white elephant. The WHO started this 'Spread calm' slogan as far back as the disease was only detected in Wuhan. The approach never seemed to have worked as the disease has kept spreading exponentially as wild as Australian Wildfire.
People are recalcitrant, and without fear and anxiety, our naive and too knowing brothers and sisters will keep defying stipulated protocols.
If I were the President, I will Declare a State of Emergency so that I can take quite wild decisions without necessarily going through parliament.
I will further publish Names, Towns and localities within which cases and signals have been detected (privacy issues, we are not in normal times). This will put fear among the populace and many will comply.
I will give vivid details of prevention, as being done, as well as complications and final consequences.
I believe in spreading fear to put our home-grown 'kooko aduro' experts in order. They are not helping with matters at all.
However, we are in an election year so the administration has a reason to tow in the line of moderation.
NB
If you want to keep your family out of this brouhaha, abeg, spread fear.
