- The number of Covid-19 cases in Africa is on the rise. But in some countries, people still don't believe the pandemic is real.
BBC Africa's Yemisi Adegoke went inside a Covid-19 treatment ward in Lagos, Nigeria to see how frontline workers are fighting against the virus, despite living in an environment where many still doubt the presence of the pandemic in the country.
Filmed and Edited by Joshua Akinyemi.

My people perish for lack of knowledge
Yes indeed 😥
@Mthuthuzeli Musa If covid is just a flu, why is it's death rate at lot higher than the flu's?
@Mthuthuzeli Musa Still wondering the conspiracies about Bill Gates, a millionaire who's fighting for humanity and equality, yet hated because he invested in a vaccine, according to the theorists, it's only for him
If you have no idea of what ur saying just leave the internet
@Mthuthuzeli Musa and if someone with diabits caught the flu, then died, they would have counted as a flu death, it's how it works
@Mthuthuzeli Musa JESUS CHRIST! You still believe in conspiracy theories?! WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD DEPOPULATE AFRICA??
Conspiracy theorist: bIlL gaTeS wOUlD!
Honestly, stop watching fake doctors and Fox news! I beg you
oowh people are still talking about corona????? in our country we forgot about that long time after we discovered it has 95.5% recovery rate if you healthy... actually you dont have to go to the hospital
And the other 4.5%? What are their thoughts on the... oh, wait, never mind.
Dustin Charles taking into consideration that only 100 people have died in 6 months with a population of 52,000,000. Doesn’t sound like something worth destroying the economy for. And too lots of this sanitization might lower our immune system leading to future issues
Dustin Charles our police kill more people than that figure so I think we have other fish to fry that shouldn’t be on our top list
@@MrBrian5597 Well then, my suggestion is to have a police fish fry, and to wear masks while doing it.
I don't get it. Of all the places to show a serious outbreak of coronavirus you focus on Nigeria. Numbers are quite low in Nigeria. The highest Covid rates on the continent are in South Africa and Egypt. You can find people all over the USA that are getting violent with others who ask them to wear face masks. The difference is, look at where the USA is in terms of cases and deaths vs. Nigeria. This is a bit of an alarmist profile if you ask me. But Nigerians should take it seriously and wear face masks.
this is bbc *AFRICA* why would they talk about america?
Indeed..even WHO has praised Nigeria out of all the countries of the world to be the best in tackling it from the onset..the joke is on them..smh
People are not scumbags nor do they not understand
People are tired of lock down demand by a selfish government
My prayers for the Nigerian people. From America. Joy.
Since the ease of the lockdown, a lot of people have had the virus and recovered within days without getting to the hospitals.
It seems recovery is almost a guarantee if you don't get taken to the death and noise centers (Oh, they call it isolation centers).
The suffering is only inside the wards and it has proven to remain there.
I personally know tons of people who were sick and had symptoms of the virus since the ease of lockdown. BUT ALL recovered. ALL
I did,I saw all the symptoms mentioned, one that was more profound was sneezing and runny nose. I took lots of water,banana, garlic and two boiled eggs in that other with 10 minutes gap on an empty stomach and went to bed. Woke up with no runny nose or sneezing ,only cough.repeated the process and next day cough ceased.
@@royaldiadem8660 I haven't heard sneezing and runny nose being symptoms. Did you have a dry cough, or were you able to get something up when you coughed?
And let me also tell you something, people who I know that didn't go to hospital fucking died of covid. Delusional assholes.
Please where are the 20k plus patients? Check out Ecuador and see
where is ecuador, how to get there?
Throwback to “Ebola in Town” song when people didn’t take ebola seriously
I do as my name says 🙏
We are hearing in the US that now we know to lay patients on their stomach. It helps.
In germany that's known since the Spanish flu in 1918 ,it's done to let some pressure from the lunges.

LOVE THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO, scary
May God help Africa
Thank you so much for this documentary@BBC Africa. Very timely, particularly for us on the frontline
If the government of the day had provided for every for the citizens many would have stayed at home how can you tell someone who has nothing to eat to remain indoors for months? I had a job before this pandemic and I haven't received a penny from my employer all my savings has been exhausted how do you expect me to seat at home when I have nothing left?
Your hospital is empty. I see max 2 patients.
Better education would help people understand these things. And therefore take it seriously.
People smart country
I thought it was in the US or Brazil....
Brasil as no sickness..
Im from USA. Its very real. Ppl here dying. Ppl I know ! Pls take all precaution ! I want you to live
Hahahahah, i have never seen or heard of anyone falling ill from covid-19 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Why don’t you get yourself it see how you feel or you give your family member gets and nearly dies from it 😂😂😂😂
Alfie Docherty It is what it is, never heard, or seen any1 falling ill from Covid 19
@@mybrevisai2508 Go to the doctors and have a little sneak around and see people on ventilators dying or ask one of the nurses
Alfie Docherty hahah, in Tanzania where i am Hospital beds are empty, we don’t even know how a ventilator looks like 😂😂😂😂😂
Alfie Docherty Such for ‘Simba day’ and ‘Yanga day’ in youtube, then tell me again that we have Corona in Africa 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ils ont plus éveillés et conscients qu en Occident.
This is so sad and heartbreaking. Even though we don't believe it is real, we should find a solution if this much people are sick and dying. I think that the reason why covid 19 spread in the first place was because of people who didn't believe it's real. They didn't wear a mask or washed their hands and they eventually got it.

No

It's not real until someone can prove it's real
These journalists are using badly needed PPE. Perhaps they kind find an alternative form of reporting.
Thanks a lot for this insightful documentary. I hope many Nigerians will watch it. Sadly, many Nigerians still don't believe there is COVID-19 in Nigeria and thus, there is poor compliance to preventive measures such as the wearing of face masks and social distancing. I pray this documentary will go a long way to change some hearts and minds. Thanks. 🙏🙏🙏
There are people in the united states that think this way.
and in Germany
@@Keksdich so its really real, why the government dont want to show us?
Well it's simple. it doesn't exist :)
Let them dig graves for people who have died from Covid-19. #Idiocracy

#scamdemic
Why doesn't BBC make documentary about UK why is it about Africa
@That girl The highest amount of cases aren't in Nigeria. It's South Africa. Why pick Nigeria?
@@benjaminsmith2287 All last month, they were in Sierra Leone. WHAT DO YOU WANT!?
So ignorant, do they not know what happend in Italy,Spain,USA,Brazil etc?
That USA covid-19 poll went fast as lighting
Of course they don’t know what is going on there ffs they believe in what they see not what they hear
they do, that's why they dont believe it . more thinking and less media
@@lidia7356 mother nature and Corona dont care about beliefs.
@@Larrypint indeed, corona does not even exist
