Lord have mercy. How can this be dealt with?

Prevent prevent prevent! Prevention is better than cure

Sensitize everyone on how deadly this disease is and how to avoid them.

Many folks are employing rat traps and poisons. This should be stopped! Dead rats pose more threats through the odour from their decaying bodies
This sounds like a beer parlour gist.

This thing is getting out of hands o!!!

I don't think this health minister is doing enough to contain the spread of this virus unlike the past govt during the ebola outbreak.

Oh lord! What have we done to deserve this punishments.. Is it because we allowed a tyrannic demon into Aso Rock? God please forgive us and instead of punishing us, deal with those that oppress us..

The problem with Nigerians is that they do not look at their tolerance of corruption over the decades as the cause of their problems...rather they look at people or individuals as the cause of their problems at all times.

And yes....I held that same sentiment during your hero's admin.

http://www.punchng.com/test-confirms-oauthc-doctor-died-of-lassa-fever/

Apc fighting corruption while lassa fever is killing nigerians. What a cabinet we have
Prof adewole should resign immediately.he has no clue and got no roadmap to tackle this because he is blaming gej.Prof adewole we have 36 states and if lassa fevet has hit more than fifteen states and is still spreading please resign. However,my worry is that the president does not even understand the implications of this disease or should corruption be added to lassa fever to make this administration fight it.Oh Nigeria I pity her

This lassa fever thing looks like scam to me.. No pictures, no evidence! Just thinking

Its no scam.i have been in touch with some doctor friends and they have told me to put them in prayers because the disease is here for real and the protective measures are not even anything to write home about .
This is what you get when a government looks more at suppressing every voice of opposition.it derails even faster than a derailing train.

FMoH should hurl Onyebuchi Chukwu in to guide them with the protocols he used on both Ebola and Lassa outbreaks or else we will be looking at a pandemic.
Wonder how an orthopaedic surgeon will know more about public health safety than the PH professionals. Pathetic.

God loves Nigeria, imagine if it is this APC govt & it's ministry of health were in power 2yrs ago during the Ebola crisis, it would have been disastrous considering the lousy approach been displayed by the ministry of health towards this.

Health professionals are at more risk than every other person. He probably came in contact wt a lassa fever pt, I av a colleague (nurse) who is on screening after contact wt a lassa fever pt, the first one is negative Thank God, I pray he turns out negative.
I pray this epidemic is nipped in the bud soon, may God grant us Victory as wt Ebola, may God protect us and our families and may the dead souls RIP.

Re: Osun Doctor Died Of Lassa Fever by darealgem: 4:55pm On Jan 21, 2016
To he who said this lassa must be scam, perhaps let me pass the next 21 days to let you know since I was at work that night at the emergency and saw to his needs as the doctor on call, besides his being my friend.. maybe GOD FORBID I have a fever I would let u know.

Someone said, lassa is doing wat ebola didn't do. Lassa has always been with us, came close with them a lot as a student in ekpoma. Poor farming practices of burning bushes encourages it, letting the rats loose in homes. Poor personal hygiene or social hygiene spreads it.

As for why one thinks OAU hospital failed to u, well a novel disease would always be d same to every one, especially if dey neva had d experience or if dey neva had a standard protocol for treating just like places dat have the scourge, it only takes one experience to learn. And alot to build a good virology center. Now irrua looks like d apple center to treat, when those day when people tot it was just and economic state problem, the hospital was slowly building it's center.
But then, guy I must tell u, he didn't come in with those bleeding symptoms or fever, just sore throat and hiccups and an elevated sugar which everyone would have tot were triggered by one of each other. But hey lassa masks like malaria and Co so why not, he already had been treating those before coming so the fever was absent. The symptoms only rapidly worsened the next day and that was the end. So hey i must say we did our best , and still are as the emergency dept is still operating unfumigated still, even after the death, with us workers left waiting for a response for our protective kits. And dat is as opposed to those naughty blogs that say we ran and vacated the premises leaving the patients to die. I do hope dat blogger who claimed to have seen a Dr Who claimed anonymity giving him the gist was not talking to an infected one,or a carrier cos he would feel different about reporting false news then.

As for the slow govt response, sometimes u wonder whether cos there is a cure or antidote Ribavirin they can choose to dilly dally unlike ebola dat didn't give time. But trust me when I say if buhari doesn't even know about this news or hasn't acted , it's because of the terrible kind of management leadership some of our hospitals have that we had to officially hear from some blogs than for them to officially issue a statement even passed 4pm when the truth was already seeping out in blogs, until the association of Resident Doctors to whom I and Dr Charles and other residents belong and would keep being used as sacrifice slaves by these greedy elders, had to make an official statement.


Thanks to all the nurses, doctors , lab scientists and attendants and everyone who assisted in treating our friend. God would protect us and keep us strong. And we would overcome.
Sleep on my friend, RIP Dr Charles bamidele

Oh puleeze. .this is about saving a national not about kicking the man at helms in the crouch... now u sound as if Orthopaedics is all about breaking bones. U definitely have neva seen wat an infected limb can do... Last I checked, am surd it woukd be infectious diseases specialists and laboratory medicine who would be on ground while the rest half of public health heads d committees and stat concocting research figures, they have already begun to distribute questionnaires, as if that is wat we need now! So please let the man sort his house and we all work with him
