An online user wrote, "Mandy Good afternoon, thanks for all you are doing here to update us about the severity of covid 19.

My HOD just came in to the office cause we are on duty being medics, we are not among the stay at home.

She said her friend's sister is one of the covid 19 patient being taken care of in Gwagwalada.

Part of the major treatment being given to them is Vitamin C but with what her sister showed her during a video call, it's not the normal one we have in Nigeria, it was imported.

They give it to them intermittently, the price is 50,000 Naira and if you don't pay you will not be given.

I thought that treatment is free but my dear it is not oh, if this gets out of hand the poor won't get help. She wrote.
