China was like Aba,u don't need FG to be industrialized,the problem is u elect bad n visionless leaders.

Lol.. any tailor can do this so I don't know why all this chesbeating due to inferiority complex..

Did you not read in the link you sent me, that people become infectious with Ebola only when they start to show symptoms

With Covid, people become infectious even without showing symptoms

Some never ever fall sick, but they are infectious, infecting many people they come in contact with

Sir, from the little I have said above, just for the fact that people who have Corona virus CAN infect others with Corona virus without showing symptoms, and people with ebola can't, DOES THAT NOT TELL U THAT WE NEED A DIFFERENT STRATEGY IN DEALING WITH THE TWO DISEASES?

See below which is a screenshot of the page u sent me to

The fact remains that we are doing copy copy in following the lockdown of the rich countries we don't even have the capacity for.
Another fact you need to understand and the more reason we ought to have developed strategies that will work for us and which we could handle is that covid-19 is not home to the tropics unlike Ebola. For that reason it's no way as virulent here as it is in nations practising lockdown.
It was only one Ebola case that got to us yet imagine the level of damage it caused, how many died and how we struggled with it. We even had assistance from international bodies. One more Patrick sawyer at that time could have been a disaster.
Using when either of the viruses becomes infective isn't an effective line of defence because Ebola was far more contagious and 10times deadlier over here than covid-19 yet we didn't practice lockdown. No one gets isolated before the symptoms show and before it's confirmed to be ebola it's already spreading like wildfire. That's what counts. Countries where covid-19 was highly virulent and who have employed lockdown mechanism moved from one index case to over 100,000 within weeks. We are nearly two months with covid-19 but yet to even reach mere 500 cases so how can you compare our situation with theirs based on when the virus becomes infective?
Had the level of virulence we have here been what the West have had to deal with they could have wiped the virus from their countries long ago and had we had the level of contagion as they are facing over there we do have been finished long ago as a nation and no level of lockdown could have saved us.
If the funds been stolen and wasted on cash transfers were utilized on a better approach that suits our unique situation it could have served us better.

Why should he blame the governor. Was it the governors of Lagos state that developed the state?
What is it the fct ministers that developed Abuja?
Pls say something else

Sir, u are combining a number of issues. Let's separate them out.

We are now both in agreement that for the reason of transmission routes, infection rate, when people become infectious after contacting the virus, for these 3 reasons, we should not manage the 2 diseases the same way.

Are we in agreement with that? If yes, then let's move on to another point.

On whether we should copy European European STRATEGY and lockdown, that one is not for me to decide. You are raising valid question on this point. Ask epidemiologists who are specialists in tropical conditions. They are the ones to answer you. I am an expert in mental health conditions. Not in epidemiology and public health.

But know this, there is something we call precautionary principle. Covid 19 is a new virus. This is the first time it is affecting humans. Scientists are taking precautionary principle measures here. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Back to your main point which I argued against. You point was we should treat Covid 19 the same way we treated ebola. My main point is NO. WE SHOULD NOT. THEY ARE DIFFERENT. DIFFERENT STRATEGY FOR DIFFERENT ILLNESSES. YOU DONT KILL COBRA (a snake that can spit and its spit can blind you) THE SAME WAY YOU KILL A PYTHON (a non spitting snake). YOU DONT KILL A MILLIPEDE (very slow moving) THE SAME WAY YOU KILL A CENTIPEDE (very fast moving).

I am sure you now get my point sir.

I wonder why a great country like Nigeria should depend on foreign countries for something as simple as a nose mask even with the thousands of graduates our institutions of higher learning turn out every year.

Lovely

You didn't get my point at all.
My point is that we are doing copy copy in following the strategies adopted by countries where covid-19 is far more virulent. Strategies that as a poor nation we have no capacity for.
I went on to state that rather than employ copy copy strategies we should rather have fashioned our own way of combating it. A strategy we could better handle, one we have the capacity for.

Really

Good point. But dont forget this is a new virus and no country has the answers. People are learning from countries that have successfully reduced the spread. Incidentally, no poor tropical country has done that. So we can't learn from them. Our own experts might be playing it safe. I dont know.

Personally, what I think we need to do is compulsory face mask for everyone. That at least should be the minimum. And serious contact tracing of current diagnosiled cases. Other than that, I really dont have an answer. As I said earlier, I am not an epidemiologist. I am not a virologist.

Someone said he can now understand the whole burning of Acountant General's office, INEC office e.t.c. within the period Kemi and Kanu post of the demise of COS to President Buhari.

Meaning there were alot to hide before the announcing of his death.

It's not about learning from poor countries but not copying rich countries on stategies we don't have the capacity for. I put it to you that had it been Ebola virus that we didn't implement lockdown on that those rich countries had faced, what they are doing now is exactly what they would have done.
Lockdown strategies won't work here. Let it go on long enough and anarchy could result. Even the law enforcement agents have killed more Nigerians than the virus and counting.
Most Nigerians are poor and rely on their daily hustle to feed. The government has no capacity to keep them at home or fend for them. People are starving with nothing to eat.
Not even as if the lockdown is even working as people are going about everywhere unprotected, without facemasks, begging for food and even fighting over food items with zero social distancing. It has also resulted in a hike in crime rates as one million boys no longer allow some residents close their eyes to sleep at night.
Rich countries that are implementing lockdown are not reporting these issues.

Shutting the ports is one right thing the government did and planning out strategies that suits our own unique circumstances is another thing they could have done than doing copy copy.
They are not even doing enough testing self. Ghana with its small population had done over 50,000 tests whereas Nigeria is still on 7,000.

Oga, u have a big point on lack of social supports for Nigerians by the government

U are right that Nigeria is not doing enough testing. What if that is the reason we are having low numbers of confirmed cases? I really dont know.

But then again, as I said, u are right that hunger is making people not able to respect the lockdown. And that has the potential of leading to social anarchy

So what do you suggest. You are raising valid points. How do you want the government to control this virus. Let's move away from what they are not doing. I will like to hear from you what they should be doing right now.

Whatever you suggest, dont say because it worked for ebola. As we both agreed, they are different viruses, affect different body systems, transmit in different ways, and people become infectious at different times.

I will really love to hear ur suggestions. You really sound intelligent. I love exchanging ideas with fellows like u sir
