RE: ecoTrain QOTW: Are You A 'Hugger Or A Shrugger' In These Pandemic Times?

I really love your view on this post and to some extent i share your sentiments and some of your opinion.....but i will still want us to reason it this way; Why will a government that is not mad and is in it's right frame of mind shotdown it's economy, just because it want to get the World health pandemic grant? For me it doesn't make sense because i really don't see how much of a grant that will be given to a country that will be greater than what the country's economy under different sectors will be producing considering the fact that not only one country or ten countries was affected but the world so making grants coming in to different countries smaller than it use to.
During the time when Ebola and Lassa fever hit africa, the countries affected received so much because they were few and the normal World donors were not affected and were ready to donate but in this case everycountry is really looking to hold to what it has in the fight before helping other countries. So brother what i am saying is it will be criminal and insane for a government to shotdown it's economy if the pandemic wasn't a threat to the live of it's citizens. You may not know or you may not have seen someone who's infected or has lost his or her life to this pandemic but i tell you having seen and known someone affected and has lost his life to this virus that the virus is really in Nigeria and It's for me a miracle that we are not being hit more than how it was first predicted as the casualty would have been so bad because we have a system that's not even ready for such pandemic.
