Samakinr:

2. How do you mean by saying the lasg is trying to take the credit due to the FG. Is Lasg not a part of the Nigeria gov. A glory to Lasgidi is a glory for all. Stop being myopic and see beyond political contrusions

Virologist: Fight Against Ebola In Sierra Leone And Liberia Is Lost :
It's now official! The pale horseman has been unleased!



September 2014 – AFRICA – The killer virus is spreading like wildfire, Liberia’s defense minister said on Tuesday he pleaded for UN assistance. A German Ebola expert tells DW the virus must “burn itself out” in that part of the world. His statement might alarm many people. But Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit of the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg told DW that he and his colleagues are losing hope for Sierra Leone and Liberia, two of the countries worst hit by the recent Ebola epidemic. “The right time to get this epidemic under control in these countries has been missed,” he said. That time was May and June. “Now it is too late.” Schmidt-Chanasit expects the virus will “burn itself out” in this part of the world. With other words: It will more or less infect everybody and half of the population – in total about five million people – could die. Stop the virus from spilling over to other countries. Schmidt-Chanasit knows that it is a hard thing to say. He stresses that he doesn’t want international help to stop. Quite the contrary: He demands “massive help.” For Sierra Leone and Liberia, though, he thinks “it is far from reality to bring enough help there to get a grip on the epidemic.” According to the virologist, the most important thing to do now is to prevent the virus from spreading to other countries, “and to help where it is still possible, in Nigeria and Senegal for example.” Moreover, much more money has to be put into evaluating suitable vaccines, he added.


In the headquarters of Welthungerhilfe, a German non-governmental aid organization that is engaged in helping with the Ebola epidemic, Schmidt-Chanasit’s statement causes much contempt. Such declarations “are not very constructive,” a spokeswoman said. Jochen Moninger, Sierra Leone based coordinator of Welthungerhilfe, told DW, Schmidt-Chanasit’s statement is “dangerous and moreover, not correct.” Moninger has been living in Sierra Leone for four years and has experienced the Ebola outbreak there from the beginning. “The measures are beginning to show progress,” he says. “The problem is solvable – the disease can be stemmed. If I had lost hope completely, I would pack my things and take my family out of here,” Moninger adds. Instead, he and his family will stay. In Sierra Leone, the government has ordered a quarantine of 21 days for every household in which an Ebola case occurred. Soldiers and police are guarding these houses preventing anyone who has come into contact with an Ebola patient from leaving. According to Moninger, that is exactly the right thing to do: isolating sick people – should it be necessary, even with military force.

She admits, though, that the situation especially in Liberia is “very intense.” The government is completely outstripped and as soon as a new Ebola treatment center has opened, it is overflowed by patients, she says, adding that Liberia has the highest number of cases and deaths in West Africa with a 60 percent case-fatality rate. The situation is getting worse after 80 health workers, doctors and nurses, have died after contracting the disease. The WHO even expects thousands of new cases of Ebola in Liberia over the next few weeks. –DW

So you've seen nations move?

whatlyf: Serious Bad belle
e de pain am say dem no call Jona for help. Even Liberia recognize Governor Fashola and overlook President Jonathan that goofs ALL the time.

dridowu: 1 like

Tofax: Honestly, sometime I wonder the kind of educated people on this forum. You mean Lagos state can act in isolation in dealing with other countries without the permission of the federal government?

MadCow1:


Take the highlighted portion of your post and meditate on it..

MadCow1:


And what exactly are you thanking the LASG for and why have you chosen to leave our the real people responsible for the containment of the Virus both in Lagos State and Nigeria in general?\



Please answer.. Thanks.

FrankC3: No country approaches a State within another sovereign country for any kind of help. Besides, the EVD control center in Lagos is not run by the LASG, it is being managed by the Ministry of Health. Liberian Government cannot approach Lagos State government for any kind of help, same way Nigeria cannot approach the California State for any kind of help.

The best that happened in this case is that the LASG collaborated with the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Health. The Director should not pretend that LASG was responsible for the EVD control efforts, no. FMH was. State Ministries of Health supported mainly from enlightenment drive, the very type that the director was doing when he/she made that statement.

Bia Okija,


Real people or not, their efforts are what makes it a success. There's is no wheel without spokes, but at the end, the wheel is responsible for the balance. I haven't undermined the efforts of the Nigerian govt, please don't put words in my mouth. Like I said, LASG took preemptive measures (yes in collaboration with other officials) to designate containment centers, ensure funding (internal or FG), supervisory of the manhunt of potential victims, and other efforts for which I can't recall at the moment. As much as I dislike MOST of LASG policies, I have to give them this one. If there was a lag in containment, the spread would have been BAD.

Everything you have listed and credited to the LASG is actually the work of the FG through the Ministry of Health.



Even the bible says it in the book of 1 Noah 2:15, Give unto Ceaser Jonathan what is Jonathan's and Give unto Fashola what is Fashola..


Thanks..

Samakinr:
Or you can as well ask me for the meaning. No offence, I don't just get your point

CityNG:

Dunce, California is it's own economy and does business directly with foreign countries. You used a bad analogy.

The only thing California cannot do is enact any laws that superseds federal laws.

chinazaekperem2: Let them just stay in their countries, we will be there to help them.

adeniyisavage:


Bad belle

rozayx5: Hope they approach us for better things in future

FrankC3:

So in your excellent and unparalleled wisdom, diplomatic protocol permits Nigeria to approach California or State of Utah for 'help' in tackling unemployment?

SporaD8: Thanks for the adjustment.
...but for the sake of everything that is good, why is this dude fashola not yet operating at federal level?
A big fish is swimming in shallow waters here!

MadCow1:



Because if the 'LAGOS STATE' commisioner of health says Nigeria, it would sound like saying Pres. Jonathan did it and by association PDP..




This is just some bullshit propaganda story..

Zakkyoz:
I am supposed to react to this your comment but i won't. Do you know why? I just discovered your personality through your monicker.

Hahahahahahahahaaaa...




The boy got jokes..
