The coronavirus pandemic has become a great cause for concern for many people in different parts of the world. Despite that, some people are still not well informed about the disease and they feel like it is either non-existent or not harmful.

A few people on the other hand, especially in Nigeria, are nonchalant about it as they carry the mind-set that all humans will eventually die.

Well, despite the different opinions people have about the disease, it is definitely something to be concerned about seeing as some countries have shut down as a result of it while some social and religious gatherings have been banned until further notice.
