Lagos State government has built about 3 or 5 isolation wards.. I'm not sure how many but it's not only the one at Onikan stadium..
They plan to build more soon . 1000 bed isolation wards altogether .

If u wanna hear how far they have gone with everything, tune in to TVC or channels news regularly. The presidential taskforce on coronavirus are always there...

MainJoe:


The lockdown did not come from the Italian contact but from Nigerians who returned from UK, US and Italy. That is the wave we are dealing with, even though I believe there was still an earlier wave of infections going on.

If you have followed the way this thing spreads, focusing on primary contacts is not the best. But, strategic testing to cover a wide area to detect possible spread.

At the moment, little tests is going on outside Lagos and Abuja. Little Channel of resources is taking place and we know this thing spreads widely.

Sticking to primary/secondary contacts is a joke. The tracking will not work.

The solution is to channel all resources into massive testing, isolating and treating. Any other thing now is incompetence.

I have seen governors in US accept their limitations and call for support. These guys should stop deceiving themselves. I can see through the scam.

Please they should leave the story and start testing on a wider scale. They should know they are playing with lives thst the money they are eating cannot buy. They should plan for a wider spread of testing to find the magnitude of spread or step down let more competent hands do the work.

Danielnino00:


You want us to conduct mass testing but you think a lockdown isn't necessary .
Do explain how a country like Nigeria can conduct mass testing a day without having to lockdown the country?

Danielnino00:


You are the one who asked what the presidency is doing and I'm telling you that there's a presidential taskforce in place that's responsible for managing the pandemic...

If you want to know what they are up to,watch Channels and TVC news regularly..they do press briefing there everyday... But if you think they are just telling stories,why did you ask ??

MainJoe:


I did not say it is not necessary. Get the point. I said it is ineffective if we are not testing. If we are to gain from the Lockdown, we are to test in a large scale.

Get it?

MainJoe:


They have N15 Billion for just Covid-19. That is enough for strategic planning and execution to combat this at this stage to prevent a nationwide outbreak. That is not happening.

chrisooblog:
convert that amount to dollars compare to what 1 state in the US is spending to battle the virus then you will know how inadequate it is

MainJoe:


More of presidential jokers, if not they would have told the president the priority is to test than share money. If not his thieves will not see money.

Danielnino00:



No,I don't get it .. explain how mass testing will be done without the lockdown...

You just applauded south Africa for their effort,yet South Africa itself is on a 21 days lockdown. And they are even planning to extend it to another 21 days..

How can Nigeria conduct mass testing please ??

Danielnino00:


You shouldn't have asked me then .. since u already know that the presidency is a comedy zone...

If u aren't willing to listen to the information being disseminated by the people in charge of the pandemic in this country,then I'm afraid you will miss the progresses being achieved in the fight against the virus. Like the 25 patients that have been discharged so far...

MainJoe:


Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.

That is my statement.

Meaning Lockdown is effective if we are also testing.

MainJoe:


N5 Billion siphoned in the last few days in a country that don't have enough testing centres. And you want me to clap for them.

chrisooblog:
that screenshot you posted do you know anambra beneficiaries received there's too? please there are many things to criticize this govt with not misinformation or half truth

MainJoe:


15 billion is enough to work and carryout strategic tests if they were serious.

Danielnino00:


But we are carrying out testings...

How many compared to the population in the country?

chrisooblog:
how do you know it's enough are you an expert in battling pandemic?

MainJoe:


We have not taken any serious action to curb a possible high spread in the Nation. People still move freely because of the news of low death rate and exposure. People still mingle without fear because of same reason. Unless we start testing in large number, we can not ascertain how well we have done in preventing possible spread.


Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.

MainJoe:


How do you know it is not enough?

I said strategic, not mass testing. Get it?

Joebie:
For those who believe in God Almighty and are Christians, pray and take the needed precautions. There is nothing to be afraid of if you have accepted Christ. The Bible says God does not give us the Spirit of fear, so don’t fall to the fear mongers and to some pastors now who are busy spreading conspiracy theories. Pray, take precautions and leave the rest to God.

chrisooblog:
I'm not an expert but neither are you so how can you say with authority what would be adequate?

komekn:


You cannot fight what you cannot see.

You are right that without testing and mitigating actions to limit and or treat infected persons. Then your ability to halt the virus is limited.

However, considering we don't have the capacity to do mass comprehensive testing. We probably never will.

Then PREVENTION is your best option and in this regard here lies our best strategy apart from prayer.

In addition boosting your immunity with what you eat and do.

Then using combination drugs for those who are affected and showing symptoms.

MainJoe:


We must not be perfect or adequate but my criticism comes with the channelling of resources and not briefing the presidency of the magnitude of the worst case scenario.

Not letting him know the urgent need to channel resources to reduce the possible damages.

Using 5 Billion for two days school feeding when we lack adequate test centres is foolish and that is due to ill informed advices coming from the NCDC and Ministry of health.

Arabiandude:

You are just going back to front, fooling yourself here. In your own field, I can bet you are not even regarded amongst 1,000 best in your locality, but you are here online acting like you know it all, even more than the Profs and experts presently managing this pandemic in Nigeria. Oga since testing is your problem, how many people have you helped fellow Nigerians to test since the government doesn't know what they are doing?

junnyjake:


This shouldn't surprise anyone.

How valuable are our lives to our so called leaders?
