The NCDC DG disclosed this while commenting on how Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State recovered in less than one week after testing positive for the virus.
Ihekweazu said; “We should remember that 90 per cent of these patients recover without any intervention. So, if you take something and say you recovered and that something is why you recovered, it doesn’t quite add up. So, hopefully, there will be some treatment emerging over the next few years but remember that people recover from many viruses; that’s the way it happens.
“There are very few viruses with a cure. Even the ones that have a bad outcome like lassa fever – 20 percent of patients die from it – it still means that 80 percent of patients will recover without any treatment per se. What happens is that the body is supported to recover on its own.
So you go to a hospital and for COVID-19, you’re given oxygen. Oxygen is not really a treatment; it’s to keep you alive for long enough for you to recover yourself.”
