Thr country that microbiologist have gone into extinction. Medical lab scientist that claim to b microbiologist knw nothing about nature of microorganisms than routine lab diagnosis


MLS no dey claim to be microbiologists. We are microbiologists. You honestly feel we don't know anything about microorganisms? Lmao. You think say the 5 years wey we dey spend for school na waste? 5 years with nothing like IT stealing away 6 months. 5 years of regular lab posting every single break from 300 lvl? All the mico organisms of medical importance, MLS have been grounded well on them.

Mostly supportive treatment. Some countries employ trials of the agents I mentioned above. But in the country I live such medications are not licensed for its use and we treat supportively. Recovery from COVID-19 is not as a result of the medication used but depends mostly on one's body immunity to fight the disease and is aided by supportive management. There's no yet an approved or confirmed cure for it...And before you doubt me further; i work in the system and we do not use any of those agents yet people are making good recovery with our supportive care. Science is still struggling to develop drugs that specifically targets the virus until a proven cure is obtained treatment remains supportive.

So chloroquine no dey work?

you have done well. Just like the experience and practical knowledge that a road side mechanic have over MSc mechanical engineering. As MLS can you develop a new microorganisms? No. You can only isolate and identify meanwhile some organism are not cultureable. When we are talking about manipulating organism I bet you will have to sit down and learn.

It's actually Hydroxychloroquine and like I tried to explain, although it seemed to have been of benefit to very few patients it wasn't successful or yielded no benefit in most cases. That's why it's used in addition with other medications but with caution by few clinicians in some nations.

This is so untrue. Any lab scientist with intelligence and resources and in a developed state can do any of the things you stated. Like it's not an uncommon knowledge Lab scientists do all that...funny u

No i wouldn't. It's been off Nigeria guideline and no more recommended even by WHO. Although some people still use it, I consider it quackery.

It simply meant that although they came in contact with him the virus wasn't transmitted to them. COVID-19 is transmitted via contact with mucous membranes eg mouth, eyes, nose, vagina, penile opening and anal opening. So it's very possible one could be in contact with someone who has the virus and not get it. Immunity only applies when one has already contracted the virus hence some people are assymptomatic while others may develop symptoms ranging from mild to severe/critical.

Criminals. Wicked and propaganda government. No flight to convey the drugs to Nigeria, because there is no plenty money to steal, but there was flight to evacuate stranded Nigerians from US, UK and Emirates. God will not forgive this evil government and their stupid supporters
