Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay, has claimed that coronavirus isn’t as deadly as many people are making it seem. According to the singer, coronavirus is less deadly than both malaria and typhoid.

Indeed, coronavirus has led to panic among several Nigerians and the world at large. Well, that is because even the big countries are struggling to contain the outbreak.

Meanwhile, there is no known cure for the virus and that explains the panic.

However, Seyi is apparently livid to see several people panicking and hasn’t stopped short of expressing herself.

“I’m also saying that Covid-19 is apparently NOT even as deadly as common influenza to the average healthy person!” she wrote. “But u will not go and study, research, seek knowledge, listen to real f***ng news! Just jumping on wagons and excited to be a part of ‘Jedi mind tricks’.

Although the singer’s opinion sounds a bit controversial, the current statistics on those diseases support her.

According to the US Embassy in Nigeria, there are an estimated 100 million malaria cases with over 300,000 deaths per year in Nigeria. Moreover, malaria contributes to an estimated 11% of maternal mortality. The aftermentioned mortality rate is indeed higher than that of HIV/AIDS.
