While saying that the infectious disease has rendered him devastated, Okri expressed pity at those who have it but don't know.

“This is coming to me as a rude shock. I had my COVID-19 test, and it turned out that it was positive. I was so devastated, which means that I can’t travel for another 10 to 14 days.
“As I am speaking now, I am self-quarantined and I’m here to tell the doubting Thomas that the thing is real. I am feeling funny in spite of the fact that I had my own vaccines, double shots… it still seems almost like that doesn’t mean you are immune.There are a lot of people walking around with it and they don’t even know.”
