See this man that called himself a professor speaking like a layman. So doctors should examine patients critically before refering them for malaria tests as well? Professor, just incase you have forgotten, the tests are meant to either confirm or negate suspicion of an ailmemt. It is a vital part of the diagnosis process.
Despite the number of negative results in the US and Uk (as examples) did you hear them advise doctors to stop referring people for tests? I am glad you mentioned that some were postive. What if the doctors of those positive ones allowed them to roam about? Professor, take your time o o. This is not the time to say rubbish if you have nothing tangible to say. Don't risk the lives of people because you want media attention.

It's worrisome that everyone with similar symptoms wants a Covid-19 test.

Are u a doctor or health practitioner?
I guess u are not and that is why u are talking like that.
In medical diagnosis u ruled out suspicion by doing examination you could do before going extreem especially if confirmatiin of extreme could take longer time to get.

Imagine somebody suffering from simple but emmergency issue and you refused to assess that person u just refered him straigh for convid 19 test which may take days to get the test done and another days to get the result in Nigeria, the patient would have died before result is out and any well trained doctor would have avoided that by properly examining the pateint.

Morningprince:


He simply want the kits for test not to be wasted. Dr's understand what he's talking about.

Fa44me:


Ahah, it's too early Mr/mrs. The prof. Said before people are sent for Covid19 test, they should be examined. There are other tests doctors can run on patients apart from CVID19 test. To me, the prof. had made a good point.

hermesprogidy:

In an ideal situation, you would be correct. But do you know how much those PCR test kits for covid 19 cost? Do you know that despite all the noise about the FG releasing money to organizations like NIMR to fight Covid 19, not a single naira has come to them? The tests they are managing to provide pro bono is being supported by private foundations and not government, hence their testing capacity is very limited.
He spoke as an administrator living the reality of a resource poor setting. There's a lot going on under the table.

shuttox:
Very important...As Coronavirus is trending..some fake and quack doctors that discovers any respiratory problem thinks you have contacted Covid-19

Krak:
But the WHO is advocating for mass testing. The US has done millions of tests, UK is working towards doing 100k tests daily by month end. Mass testing is the only way of having an idea about the infection rate in a country.

Even South Africa is doing mass testing, so why is this man saying something else?

danowena:


What he should say and call for is for support. New York have serious shortages, did they say people should not be coming for tests? Don't you see the governor of New York shouting for assistance and aids everyday. They need more doctors, nurses, test kits and ventilators and are letting the public know this. So,the prof ought to call for support and state it clearly that they lack testing facilities,PPE and capabilities to meet up with demand not what he said. We should all use our heads.
