Don’t blame the hospital staff. They KNOW Nigeria is in no way prepared to handle big number of people needing ventilators, so if they become critically ill from corona they will very likely die. I’ve been saying this but certain people kept saying we are very ready. The solution? Just do all u can not to get sick! |

uptimum123: Very true.... If everyone of us decides or insists on getting tested at any single whim, the limited test kits will run out within seconds... What then happens when it's time to differentially diagnose those with similar symptoms??!... Even America and most parts of Europe are facing the same problem of limited equipment and healthcare staff!!! Ours is clearly worse. Self isolation remains the sole and most prudent route to go. 2 Likes |

So a consultant searched the the deepest part of the bag for a way to tell OP to go home & stay home but Baba thought he could go round it. Forget Nigeria, the consultant's request can't be fulfilled anyway in the world right now & that's exactly why he chose such condition 2 Likes |

this is the nation we have always known to be hopeless,I don't expect anything different from the govt you can't give what you don't have,the only reason why the convid issue is even a hot topic in Nigeria is mainly because it is a global hot topic if this virus was just a Nigerian thing, I assure you nobody in govt would even take it serious, even now you can't say the govt is even serious about the whole issue,we have nothing in this country not health,education, etc, 3 Likes 1 Share |

You have not said any indication here to be tested for covid. You dont just go around demanding tests it doesn't work like that. Have you had sustained prolonged contact with a covid 19 patient?, do you have worsening fever cough and shortness of breath?, have if you been to any of the endemic areas in the past 2 weeks?, and if you tick these boxes have you called the helpline to triage if you warrant a test or not. Even those working in the hospital and in the heat of corona virus are not routinely tested. Even those that do come up with suspected symptoms that are mild are asked to go home and self isolate for 7-14 days while their progress is monitored. Please stop putting your life and those of others at risk, and leave the limited resources and test kit be use for those who really need it. Even in advanced countries they dont go testing everyone. If you have symptoms call the help line and be triage. They might ask you to stay at home and self isolate for 14days, but will keep watch on you. Going to the hospital put I'll prepared health workers at risk, as well as vulnerable people. Even yourself also if you dont have it. Leave the test for those who have worsening fever, cough and shortness of breath. Those ones would not be jumping from one bike to another and will have no strength to come online to complain. 5 Likes |

Nationwide lockdown is the only solution for African countries. POLICE should be used to force people out of the streets. In China, the Police use force to ensure strick compliance of self isolation 1 Like |

joshjc: Read the op's post. Doctors at Luth are requesting him to get 2 covid-19 negative clearance before they can attend to a patient for Ear, Nose and Tongue (E.N.T) treatment hence the reason he went to Yaba for covid-19 test. It's so sad! 3 Likes |

rotile247: All none emergency appointments are being cancelled even in the most advanced countries. General practices the world over are turning to telephone appointment, non-emergency surgeries in the UK are all cancelled. The Doctor only said that to turn him away because obviously he wouldn't get 2 covid negative test 48hrs apart. Things dont work that way and an ENT routine appointment is not an indication to be tested for Covid 3 Likes |

Lol, where are all those that are quick to shout, "Go to the hospital" when someone comes to the forum to ask for natural cure for an ailment? Go to the hospital now and get your rejection. You all should better take steps to boost your immune system. And remember, panicking is a form of stress that will make your immune go down the hill. |

They are not enough testing kits worldwide, So it is only reasonable to save such kits for people that are high risk, such as contact with a person confirmed or travel to an endemic region. All non emergency clinic and surgeries be should be postponed. |
