Former Presidential spokesman Doyin Okupe, who survived coronavirus with his wife, Aduralere, said about 95 percent of those who contract the deadly virus stand the chance of being cured even without going to hospitals.

Okupe, a medical doctor, stated this in a post on his Facebook page, titled: “Further clarification on treatment for covid 19,” wherein he threw lights on some of the issues his earlier post raised.
The post:
I wish to clarify that I published the drugs I took when I was declared positive for covid19. I did this in response to private calls and responses to my posts asking me what treatment I was given. Hence in response I published the medications I took.
The chloroquine regime like all other treatment regimes used all over the world is not sacrosanct and there is not sufficient clinical evidence that it is the treatment of cure. No drug(s) or drug regime anywhere in the world can be categorically or scientifically stated as treatment of choice for covid19.
I have ONLYstated what drugs I was treated in the Center I was isolated. However Lagos uses a completely different treatment regime and the results are not significantly different. As I said about 95% of affected people even without any hospitalization will recover from the illness.
I never intended to prescribe a cure treatment for covid19.
If u develop signs or symptoms suggestive of covid19 infections consult yr doctor or contact yr local NCDC for assistance.
However I restate that taking drugs that boost yr immunity will be a good preventive step against covid19 and will improve yr potential recovery in case u become infected. This is because even though there is no consensus on a cure drug there is a globally accepted scientific fact that the innate competence of the level of immunity of each individual will ultimately determine the course of the illness for individual patient.
Meanwhile in a previous post entitled: ‘COVID-19 Testimony’, the 68 year-old revealed that he has serious underlying health problems including prostate cancer, and hypertension and against the odds he defeated the dreaded virus.

COVID19:MY TESTIMONY
Ps 24 vs 4. Though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear No evil. I hv gone thru a lot In my life. I was diagnosed hypertensive at d age of 30yrs. I had cancer of the Prostrate at 56yrs. At 63 I had to hv a non invasive corrective surgery to treat Congenital Sinus Bradycardia.
Now at 68yrs I was infected with covid19. I bear on me virtually all the risk factors against survival against covid19 infection. I am 68yrs old. I am hypertensive, diagnosed diabetic in oct 2019. I have sleep Apnoea.
This is the story of my life. But the Bible says ” Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivers him from them all.”
For the reasons above I have chosen early to be close to God and build an army of Christian Soldiers around me.
In feb of this year I was restless in my spirit. I called for an appointment wt Primate Oshitelu, who is d leader of the Church of the Lord Worldwide and lives in Ogere less than 10km from my residence in Iperu.
He saw me and I told him I wanted to pray for God’s Mercy.
We never met at that close level before then. He told me to come for 3days prayers on the Mercy land. I did. On d 3rd day the ministers who prayed wt me asked me to come for 3days retreat on mount TABEORRAH.
This was a special privilege cos d place is opened to public only once a year. I went. I told God privately that I had come to seek His face, ask for Mercy and seek refuge in a Secret place in His Holy Terbanacle.On d 3rd day when we had d closing prayers, I was told all will be well but that when I gst home satan was still going to attack but I will be delivered by God Almighty. I was slightly upset but decided to rest on God’s promise for deliverance.
When the trouble finally came, and I was told by Dr dele Ajayi, the Head of Covid19 Team in Ogun state, I was devastated. He was extremely nice to me and assured me they will do their best. He arranged to test my entire household and our movement to isolation Center.
Thereafter I called d Primate and we prayed. He assured me the sickness was not unto death. I called my spiritual father and mentor Rev Joe Olaiya and my other ministers of God wt whom I have been praying for more than 10yrs. I already mentioned them in my previous posts. I called a snr brother, apostle Dave Salako, wt whom we shared the word and prayed frequently during my sojourn at the isolation Center.
Unbelievably together wt my brothers in the Lord we prayed for no less than 7 to 10hrs daily, day and nite. Satan can afflict us but cannot affect our prayers. Prayer is the most powerful weapon of a Christian in and out of crisis. That’s why the Bible says” Men ought to pray ceaselessly “. My wife and I knew that we were in a war situation and since the best doctors in the world do not know for sure which treatment works if any works at all, it was better for us to face squarely the Almighty God who is the All knowing and all powerful God to Heal us and true to His promise he did. All glory, honour and praise to his name and the power in the blood of the Holy lamb of God, Jesus Christ by whose STRIPES we were healed.
On friday 8th of May we had the good news that my wife and I had tested negative. We then needed another negative to be discharged. We were glad. But on sunday 10th satan struck. Another result confirmed that my wife recorded her 2nd negative while I tested positive again. Hope crashed and the heavens literally fell on me. The doctors insisted my wife must leave immediately to avoid reinfection which happened to a couple we met there. My wife broke down and wept uncontrollably.
The doctors stood their ground and I also pleaded that I would rather she left for her children’s and everyone else sake. She got up and told d doctors that if she is forcefully removed she will kill herself and her blood shall be on the necks of the doctors. At this point the doctors were taken aback and they left. Came back 1hr later and gave us a set of drugs which will reduce viral load further and prevent reinfection. They also insisted we both must wear masks in house 24/7 and we agreed. When they left my wife and I agreed that we should not be ignorant of the devices of satan. I was due for another test in few hrs. We called everybody and we all launched serious supplication that God must intervene instant. We told corona virus that its name is insignificant when pitched wt the name Jesus which had been exalted above all names.
That it must now bow. Besides bcos the righteousness of Christ Jesus resides in us and Jesus was the light of the world and God already at creation separated light from darkness, corona being an arrow from the kingdom of darkness cannot coexist wt the God of light inside of us
It must leave or must be ready to contend wt the power of the blood of Jesus. I quickly brought out my Holy communion wine knelt down, prayed and drank it and invoked the cleansing power of the blood. As we concluded, behold the doctor was at the door to take our samples for test.
He did and left. We sent Angels of the Lord of Host after him and commanded that the test must come back negative.
In the nite we did a vigil with Mathew 18 vs 18 19 & 20. We then both chose Tue 14 april as our departure date from the isolation Center. By 6pm on Monday 13th my wife completed packing all our belongings and we were ready to go. All the fruits in the fridge we put together and gave our neighbour.
We thanked God for our discharge and slept. I was woken up @ 7.30am wt a phone call from dr Ajayi,the head of the team in abeokuta that our results hv tested negative and we were free to go.
My friends Our God is still in the business of hearing and answering Prayers. With faith in God and fervent prayers we can overcome all life challenges. Only we must believe and not doubt because He is faithful who has promised us and His word has never failed. Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah!!!
It is very sad that presently people of the world including world leaders fear Covid19 more than they fear God, the creator of heaven and earth.
This is a global calamity and a sure path to pain sorrow and misery.
We Christians must take our stand. God Jehova is greater than all things, forms or forces. We must esteem him above everything on earth or in heaven. All powers belong to him. If we call him, confess our sins and humble ourselves nationally or globally , He will hear us and heal our lands in Jesus Name. And to Him who is God eternal I give all glory, honour and worship. I exalt the name of the Lord Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith, who rule and reign forever and ever. Amen.
