Can thermal whatever detect symptoms?
We are telling them to quarantine all travellers arriving from infected countries they are yarning nonsense.
Was that not why the Italian guy brought the virus here?

On what authority are you telling them what to do?

Are you an infectious disease control specialist? Are you perhaps an epidemiologist or even a microbiologist?

Why are many Nigerian youths so unreasonable, devoid of critical reasoning, and even common research which has been made easier by google is still such a difficult thing for many?
I have come to realise that the government isn't just our problem, but we are our own nemesis.

you are screened by a thermal imaging machine, which you may not notice. Coming back into Abuja, you are given a form to fill while still in the plane. The form collects your contact details, where you’ve been and your recent health status.

When you land, a health worker checks that you fully completed the form. If you didn’t, you are pulled aside and made to fill it. Once you pass the heath worker, there are signs asking whether you have been to China recently. Another health worker is watching the thermal images.

Another good one

At Immigration, all the Immigration, DSS and FAAN officials are all wearing face masks. There was nothing of such at Heathrow. At Dulles, an Immigration officer only asked me when last I visited China and took my finger prints. I was the one that asked for a hand sanitiser.

Just pause before you get carried away with your political braggado. It is not about Buhari. It is about the Nigerian. Every fool on the street knows that Buhari is grossly incompetent as a leader.
But what the world cannot deny is the intelligence quota of the average Nigerian, and that includes you despite what your political affiliations have reduced you to. So it sometimes baffles the world how intelligent people like us ended up having him as a leader.
I personally appreciate the fact that the health ministry is doing its best to ensure our safety. But you must understand that everything is not politics. It is
more of common Sense, a vital element you are consciously suppressing.

U haven't made any points. U only disregarded mine.
On what authority do u prescribe measures that can move the country forward?
On what authority did trump ban trips from countries with the infection?
On what authority is he planning to assemble pharmaceutical companies in the White House tomorrow so that they can come up with a vaccine.
What did ur country do?
They put up 36 million naira for whoever can find a vaccine.
Compare the two authorities and lean lessons. U dont need google for that.
Keep using google to rate ur country!

So one needs to be a disease control specialist before sense can be applied abi?
Bring up ur points mister and watch me counter u!

Ok let’s agree on this: if what u wrote above is exactly what I said make corona hate u but if it is not exactly what I said make all the virus in this world locate you.
Agreed? Amiiin!!
Now run along
Amen and now your turn. Dr Abah said Nigeria airport staffs are better prepared compared to what he saw in London and America airports, u countered him by saying as if no be the same airport u pass and that there's nothing like what he said in Nigeria's airport.

This is where I came him, I repeat may corona hate you if na true u dey talk about our airport , and may all the deadly virus in this world locate you if na lie you dey talk about our airport.

I disagree with this your comment, not in this kind of awareness and situation on Ebola and corona virus outbreak. No Nigerian will risk his or her life for such money.

That’s the way u see it.
This is the way they see it:
1) They are primarily there to make money. Preventing anything is ok as long as it doesn’t conflict with that.
2)They know having a slight temperature doesn’t mean u have ebola or corona or even sick at all.
3)Depending on your flight origination they know your likelihood of having the disease is zero - they detain lots of people like that anyway unless u bribe someone.

My friend, u r the one who started cursing people u don’t know on a faceless forum. Even courts of law where people swear don’t apply such curses. SO IT RETURNS TO YOU AND STAYS WITH YOU ALONE:
If u have ever deviated from the truth on Nairaland may all the deadly virus in this world locate you. Let me hear a big Amiiin. (I’m only returning what u said to you).

After his comments on twitter, had to google whether what he said about heathrow airport was true, there's just no corroboration. He got to know about that of Nigeria because he's connected or the imaging screen is at a noticeable area. Heathrow airport goes as far as disinfecting their rails, seats, and Nigeria with our claimed preparedness couldn't restrict travels like other countries did to affected countries. We don't even have a center that can manage 10 people safely, there are shortages of masks, sanitizers, school children to undergraduates lack even the basic education on it, even market women haven't been educated and we say we're ready. School children who should have masks,sanitizers distributed free to them can't even find one, market women who uses their body to touch everything don't even know covid19 talk more of prevention. How can TI and even thermometer screening detect the virus considering the incubation days, reason the Italian escaped at the airport. Some airports even have separate gate entry for those from affected countries while some said if you've been to China, italy, iran, some others in past 14 to 28 days, don't come to our country. US is even offering level 4 travel advisory to their citizens going to China. Again, we're not ready! We should just never have a pandemic situation, there you would know our readiness is like iran and italy! Not like even China the source! I trust WHO to come to our aid..we literally beg for everything as a nation,again, all airports have standards ever since the outbreak, so long you're as a nation a member of WHO. Comparing UK airports to Nigeria's, one of the busiest airport in the world isn't prepared and yet covid19 never kill them finish for the airport, abegiii!!!

You guys should go and sit down with your yeye English. How do you access risk when there is no questionnaire or physical assessments.

Don’t mind them, they are relying on some stupid forms they give passengers to fill entry their address and the countries they have been to and to indicate if they have been to China.

9ja is still operating in analogy age of pen and paper and they are not ashamed.

Do you think if I travelled China, why would I want to write it down for you to further cast suspicion on me and treat me like a disease? How are you sure that, those contact address are accurate?

In the US and most western countries, before your plane land, they have already know whole itinerary and the countries you have passed through, they know your contacts and everything, if they ask you, they are just tying to confirm.

Manual processes for show to excite the largely mis-educated/uneducated populace while systems based on continuous rigorous risk assessments work quietly to deal with the issues robustly in a comprehensive manner.
People are voting with their legs for the best as seen in the comparative number of visa application/migration among the countries.

You're no disease control specialist. All the advice given have been laid out by specialists in the fields. Keep your uncommon sense to yourself and stop spewing gibberish. Because America did something, despite going against advice by the W.H.O doesn't mean you have to take them to be the standard.
Nigeria is one of the few countries who have recently, SUCCESSFULLY battled with something that could have been an epidemic. The world should probably learn from us.
If you follow the advice given, as simple as it sounds it will be controlled and would eventually burn itself out .
Handwashing/use of sanitizers over and over again is one of the simple advice, avoid crowded functions is another one, sneeze/cough into a tissue paper and avoid spitting about indiscriminately on the road, quarantine yourself if you have a cold, and contact with someone from that area.
Simple but effective measures.
Unless they've been working on drugs/vaccine to treat a virus similar to the corona virus eg sars virus, the pharmaceutical companies cannot do jack because they simply do not have the luxury of time. By the time their vaccines come out, the virus would have probably run its course and caused the damage it wants to cause.
It's not everything you throw money at, that provides solution.
Simple, effective, tried and tested common sense disease control measures like those mentioned above helps a great deal.
