So says a strong supporter of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) and Tinubu.
In case you don't know, that has been the argument of Pigs since the government started making efforts to stem the spread of the virus.

Fani kayode said it, they praised him and agreed he was indeed right.

Shehu Sani did, they praised him and said he was indeed right and that Buhari and the health minister are lying to us, alleging that they'd like to see the Italian that was said to have the virus.

So I'm just echoing the sentiments of Cownu cum Pdp Pigs and Piglets.

The story sounds quite unclear.

The claim here is that she tested negative to covid-19,hence no clinical need for isolation.so why was she still kept in the abandoned building to the extent that she had to pass on there?

. Took 3 days for test result to come out. Died a day after result came out negative

So now, coro did not kill the old woman, it the attitude of the health workers that now killed her.

I wonder when Nigerians will stop being reactive and start being proactive. If Measures have been put in place like China, the health workers wouldn't have taken to their heels. I mean, who wan die?

Its very clear HBP killed the old man.
May her soul rest in peace

This current minister of health is the worst Nigeria ever had

Too dull and clueless

Even his "Oga at the top" isn't doing enough to contain this deadly virus ravaging the country and the rest of the world .

Every sector of the economy is in total collapse

Nigerians are on their own .

Pls close mouth, what of your state govt. What are they doing with their huge monthly allocation Commissioner for health is doing what

I think u Nigeria s are a big part of the problem. You always excuse your local authorities and expect someone in Abuja to take responsibility 109%, while the governors and Entourage loot you to stupor. Smh

Will you people stop spreading ignorance that is leading to panic? The virus cannot survive exposure to temperature above 26. Temp is above 30 constantly in Nigeria. It was 34 in Lagos yesterday and 28 right now which is one of the cooler days. It is therefore going to be hard for the virus to gain traction in Nigeria.

Furthermore, majority of the fatalities have been elderly people, with perhaps lower immunity, and people with underlying health conditions. Most healthy people recover from the virus with many registering only mild symptoms like Mikel Arteta the manager of Arsenal football club.

Work is ongoing desperately and actively as well worldwide to produce a potent anti-virus for Covid-19.

This is a time for the educated and exposed to be agents of reassurance to those who are anxious and scared rather than be instruments of scare mongering and panic some of you are turning yourselves into because of primordial hate of the FG or others. Remember you are either part of the problem or the solution. Choose which you want to be.
Stop peddling lies to quell tension.
Covid19 dies on exposure to heat at 56°C. The temperature of Nigeria is 31°. The highest ever recorded temperature in Nigeria is 47°.
Dubai which is way hotter than Nigeria has its highest ever recorded temperature at 52°C.
Now we are talking about the temperature of a country not that of humans, the highest ever temperature of a human body is 47°, any higher temperature, then you'd be dead. So if you're waiting for heat to kill covid19, you'd be prepared to be killed first.

This can never be an isolation centre.

SaviMedia:
Woman who tested "Negative" for #Coronavirus in Enugu dies a day after; Family blames State govt.

The daughter Utchay @UcheNgwu7 writes:

"Dear RT. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi,

"I am writing on behalf of myself and family in regards to the 70 year old woman suspected of the Covid -19 in Enugu published on Saturday 14th March 2020.

"The patient who is my mother unfortunately passed away on Sunday 15th March 2020 having tested negative to the aforementioned virus. She returned to Nigeria on Wednesday 11th March, 2020 after 5 months trip to the UK to visit her children."

Above were the parts of the statement posted online by the family of the suspected Coronavirus patient in Enugu State who tested negative for the deadly virus.

It should be recalled that a certain woman, age, 70, causes stirs at the University Teaching Hospital Enugu, on Saturday, after she showed up at the hospital for check up, on sighting the woman who just came back from UK, the health workers scamper to safety following lack of safety gears in the hospital.

Reacting, the Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC) weighed in and collected the sample blood of the woman who was isolated at ESUTH Colliery Parklane and the result came out negative.

However, the 70yrs old woman, (name withheld) died a day after the result came out negative.

The cause of her death according to the statement shared online by the family is due to the kind of treatment at the isolation center and the kind of environment she was kept during the few days she was isolated.

"My mother was isolated in a dilapidated environment that seems to have been left uninhabitable over a long period of time. The isolation centre in Enugu is an abandoned old section of the hospital, where the grass and debris were being cleared whilst my mother was there", says the statement.

The full statement reads below...

"The staffs at the hospital were unprofessional in the way they handled my mother. She was stigmatized and this made her feel worthless. My mother arrived at the hospital on Friday 13th March, 2020, blood samples were collected on Saturday 14th March, 2020 with results expected on Monday 16th March, 2020.

"As declared by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that this is a global pandemic, one would expect a faster testing time. My mother had to spend 3 days in a dire situation, without adequate health care and unsure of what is happening around her.

"If the result for Covid-19 was ascertained on time, my mother would still be here with us, as she would have been moved to a better equipped hospital with the right experts to deal with her underlying illnesses".

"My mother died due to the negligence and unpreparedness of the state in putting adequate facilities including staff training in place. The corona virus was detected in December 2019. It is absolutely disappointing that there is no appropriate isolation centre in Enugu State.

"After the death of my mother, finding a workable stretcher to move her body was impossible! You would expect any hospital to provide basic facilities such as a stretcher – my mother’s body was carried into the ambulance on a wretched tool.

"Considering that the Covid-19 result proved negative, we can conclude that my mother died due to the following reasons –

· The state of the said ‘isolation centre’ ( pictures attached).

· Wrong treatment

· Staff stigmatisation due to lack of training in dealing with such cases.

"Furthermore, shortly after the news of a suspected Covid-19 patient was published, the Enugu state government responded by releasing 20 Million Naira for the management of the state isolation centre.

"In my opinion, that is a little too late as strategies for dealing with the Corona Virus pandemic should have been put in place before now. It should not have taken my mother’s suspected case to prompt an action from the government".

The government should have anticipated this and appropriate measures and facilities put in place.

"As l write this, l am sure that no plans has been made for any future case of Covid-19 despite the promised allocated funds".

"In conclusion, l would like to reiterate that the environment of the isolation centre, staff behaviour and the unpreparedness of the Enugu state government resulted to my mother’s unexpected death".

"The objective of this letter is to make sure that no other person will have to go through what my mother went through. I am appealing to the governor of Enugu state to ensure that the funds allocated to the isolation centre is rightly used for the purpose for which it was meant.

"I urge the Enugu state government to ensure accountability to this respect.

Sincerely,

A very heartbroken daughter.

Two things; either the aged woman was positive and Enugu health workers are not equipped and do not have the appropriate test kits for the virus or that change of environment illness killed her.

From the narrative, it is obvious that Enugu isn't equipped to take on coronavirus at the moment because I see no reason why the test would take three days when that of the world and Lagos' takes a day or hours.

Beyond negligence, it is wise to quarantine and isolate every one who came in contact with the deceased since the result could be false.

The so called isolation center looks like a community hospital. Other than Lagos, I sincerely doubt any other state in Nigeria can manage victims of the virus.

The State government will no doubt respond to save face and rescue itself fromthis embarrassment. Gburugburu is only interested in looking like an active governor. He is clueless as Buhari himself.

I think it is right for any sane person to start getting prepared for this virus, sanitizers are now expensive, ordinary face mask a box of 50 is now between 10l to 15k and the normal face mask is 75oo for two.

During the time they took her blood to do the blood work and making the result available, she was on isolation in the dilapidated isolation center that may have caused her other complications that she succumbed to. From the post, it was three days.

This got me laughing hard.. I blame the children we all know in this country when it comes to health of the elderly an little kids never ever u settle for less. How can u allow ur own mother to be isolated in such a hell hole? Why didn't they work something out & move her elsewhere with at least decent medical services where she would get the needed attention Una use una mama play & now u are fighting a lost cause.. Its too late when the head is off.
