(OPINION): BEHOLD, MORE THAN CORONAVIRUS IS AMONG US.

Without doubt, communicable disease are dangerous and spread so quick in an ecosystem.

Outbreak of severe communicable disease in a community leave precious families in mourning because of the death of their loved ones.

It’s always worse when it occurs and everyone seeks protection for themselves and their loved ones from contracting the disease;
Of which presidents of nations seek to protect their people or nation from getting the virus.
Non – governmental organizations (NGO) do come in to play in a fight against the disease.

No one is safe and no one is fully protected when there’s outbreak; for this reason, preventive measures are always put in place.

But in my country, Ghana, this is different.
The real epidemic is more severe than Coronavirus or any other communicable disease.

It’s not communicable but more deadly than communicable disease, for many years now the outbreak has been persisting and has claimed a lot of lives.

It has left families in a state of confusion.
It has fed on bread winners of families.
It’s worse than Coronavirus or ebola.

In Ghana, the real epidemic is road accidents.
Road accident has taken more people to grave than any other disease.

Road accident has left many disabled than any sickness.
Road accident has made families to spend more than any other thing.

One cannot travel peacefully without thinking on the tragedy that might befall.

Why have we not seen this canker?
Why have we not notice this as the major outbreak?
Are we still in slumber?
Wakeup calls…

Road accidents need to be addressed first.
Maintaining good road must be the first priority.

Everyone’s life is precious.
Everyone is a potential reliable human resource in one way or the other
Lets value life.

Proper checkups should be done on vehicle before departure.

Reckless driving must be reported or avoided.
Lets team up to fight against reckless driving, and bad roads in the country
Our lives matter….

Behold, ROAD ACCIDENTS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN CORONAVIRUS in Ghana
