Easterners snub kovid19, stick to their normal social lifestyles.

From the observations and findings by Umuaka Times, the entire South East region which is mainly an Igbo speaking area, has totally refused to listen to the instructions that will prevent or reduce the spread of Covid19 in the region.
A team of Umuaka Times reporters observed that from the famous Onitsha city to Awka, Nnewi, Enugu state and down to Imo State, Abia and Ebonyi States, people are still behaving in their normal way, with total disregard to the Covid19 pandemic. In Onitsha, beer palours, hotels and other entertainment joints still have their normal customers who come to catch fun, drink, eat, dance and relate very well. Even the tricycle operators in the area still carry five passengers and no one cares if anyone wears his facemask or not.
The same applies to Nnewi and down to Umuaka town ehre the popular Afor Umuaka still booms with uncountable buyers and sellers. It is very hard to see people in the South East wearing their face masks correctly and observing the rules as well.
Many people have so far been infected without knowing. In a chat with Dr Kingsley Obioha last week, he told Umuaka Times that some Akalites he interviewed randomly, confirmed to him that they lost their sense of smell and taste at different times.
