A popular Nigerian magazine has published an important article on how to avoid getting coronavirus. Haba Naija hopes their awareness campaign will help reduce the number of coronavirus victims in Nigeria.
With over 100,000 thousand people around the world being diagnosed with Coronavirus, a popular magazine has launched a campaign to bring awareness of how to avoid catching the virus that is spreading around the world.
The virus has forced factories to shut down in China, it has also hit the travel industry hard, and with the reports that over 3,000 people have died from coronavirus, Haba Naija wants to help stop it becoming a problem in Nigeria.
The campaign has involved an article being published on Haba Naija titled ‘How to avoid catching coronavirus in Nigeria’. The article offers important advice on the steps that need to be taken to reduce the risk of catching the virus. As well as providing important tips on how to stay safe, it also provides other important information on the virus that could affect more than four million people around the world.
The article looks at the symptoms of coronavirus, and it also looks at what people should do if they think they have the virus. This article has been described as one of the most important health articles currently available in Nigeria.
When asked why the article was published, a spokesman for the magazine replied: “We are seeing all these countries around the world report more cases each day, so we want to put a stop to it now. With this article, it can help people to stay safe and can even help to save lives.”
Haba Naija has become an important magazine in Nigeria and an important source of information. They cover a wide range of topics and are quickly becoming one of the most read magazines. Other topics the magazine covers include All you need to know about Claim your Water Rights Campaign in Nigeria, What document do you need to visit Nigeria from Azerbaijan and Should my business be a social enterprise, Ltd or a partnership?
With the number of people being diagnosed with coronavirus, supermarkets, fashion stores, and factories have become concerned could be hit hard due to import and export problems around the world. However, leading vets have now warned that there could be drug shortages for animals.
Village Vets, Ireland’s largest Veterinary practice, has issued a warning regarding the shortage of animal drugs. With more than 100,000 people being diagnosed with coronavirus, with the majority being based in China, it has resulted in factories being shut down. The leading veterinary practice has warned with the shut down of factories that product animal drugs could result in pets losing their lives.
There is no real sign when the coronavirus will be under control in China, and there is no word from the government that will allow factories to open. With this lack of information, vets that rely on China for animal drugs are concerned that this will result in a shortage of drugs.
“Even though there are currently enough drugs available for animals, there will come a point when there will be a real shortage. Even when factories reopen, it will mean there will be a period where vets may struggle,” explained Charles Cosgrave, MD of Village Vets.
This is not the first time that China being a major player in the production of animal drugs has caused problems for vets. Last summer China closed lots of factories that make excipients due to environmental concerns.
“Excipients are stabilising agents that are used with active ingredients in drugs and already some products are in short supply or unavailable due to this,” explained Charles Cosgrave.
The current shutdown of production companies in China will affect long term medication which includes antibiotics, anaesthetic drugs, vaccines, and preventative care drugs. With the factories being shut, it could result in a shortage of flea and worm products which could result in a national flea problem.
If the factories are not open within the next couple of weeks, it could result in vaccine shortage which will put animals’ lives at risk. Village Vets are Asking the government and HPRA to look favourably at urgent short term licensing dispensation to help with alternate drug sourcing.
The veterinary expert is advising clients they should stock up now on any long-term medication they need for their pets.
“Making lives better through excellence in veterinary care with our family of vets and nurses in each clinic.”Established in 1980, Village Vets is a family-run veterinary clinic with 12 states of the art clinics across Meath and Dublin. Understanding the important position pets take within a family, Village Vets work with the best vets and nurses to offer owners and their pets complete peace of mind in their time of need. We know that pets hold such an important place in our lives, so at Village Vets, we strive to provide a consistent high level of care and great value service to our customers.

A teacher is challenging the status quo on minorities in STEM careers with her new children’s book modeled after ABC’s Good Doctor star, Shaun Murphy, and inspired by students and family members with autism.
HOUSTON, TX – March 5, 2020 – Texas Educator, Children’s Book Author and Speaker, LaTanya Michell Brooks, has written a children’s book modeled after ABC’s Good Doctor Star, Shaun Murphy – an autistic surgeon.
The book, Adam Baum: The Autistic Engineer, tells the inspiring story of an autistic boy with a big dream to become “the best mechanical engineer ever!” But Adam realizes he is a little different and has his share of problems making friends, as other kids tease him by pointing, laughing and calling him Atom Bomb. Things began to change, one day, when Adam reveals a hidden talent that shocks and impresses the kids on the playground.
Research shows that 70% of autistic children report being bullied in middle school and high school. But things don’t get better for them as they get older. Statistics show that 80% of autistic people are unemployed. Moreover, although STEM jobs are on the increase, a report from the U.S Department of Commerce revealed that individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in the STEM field and often face challenges with pursuing STEM related education and careers.
A strong advocate for STEM, Brooks is on a mission to challenge the status quo on autism and STEM careers, where minorities are often underrepresented. Explaining her motivation for writing the book, she said: “I want to highlight and bring awareness to autism, while promoting a message of tolerance and antibullying. My mission is to inspire kids, especially those at risk, that they are capable of great things, regardless of their background, perceived limitations, or people’s perception of them.”
Adam Baum: The Autistic Engineer is cleverly written and inspires children of all abilities to pursue STEM careers. The story is captured by vivid illustrations that engage the reader from start to finish. But that’s not all. Adam Baum also sparks meaningful conversations about compassion, bullying, humanity and respect. The book also features reading comprehension questions to reinforce the lessons in the story.
Responses from early review copies of the book have been positive. HISD Reading Specialist, Barbara W. said: “I just love this book. I am going to use it with my students, and I know they will love it.” Karina Garcia-Chavez, educator and mother of an autistic child, said “I see so much of my child in Adam Baum.”
Adam Baum Adam Baum: The Autistic Engineer is available in hardcover format for a retail price of $15.00. For further information visit the authors website at: growwithstem.com.

Yesterday the Bodegueros of Philadelphia came together to learn about the laws that City Hall is considering and would be devastating to our small business owners, to ALL business owners, not just the Bodegueros.
There we were, the Bodegueros Association, The Small Business Union and Telemundo, filming and making news of the event.
Franklin Medrano was the master of ceremonies and Jimmy Duran, who is representing the Latin American community, spoke of 16 laws that are being considered by the Philadelphia government, of which 4 will directly affect the small business owners’ pockets. In the past, the small business owner has been the last one to know, and when he’s found out it has usually been too late. Not anymore.
It is a tragedy that after we, the small business owners, have rescued the abandoned buildings to put our businesses in, have invested our own money in the process, and have rebuilt our communities without the government help, it is the government that decides, without asking us, what we (they) should do with our profits.
Thanks to the efforts of many, we are coming together and are starting to educate ourselves on the things that directly affect us and the power we have to reshape our destiny.
Because together we are unstoppable…
Stay in touch so we can let you know about the next meeting… and the future march on City Hall…
The Union always supporting all the Bodegueros of Philadelphia…
