COVID-91: France Converted High Speed Train Into ICU To Transport Patients(Pics) by Explorers(m): 5:04pm On Mar 26, 2020
France has turned a high-speed train into an intensive care unit to evacuate those infected with the coronavirus from overwhelmed hospitals in the outbreak’s epicenter.

The TGV train began transporting about 20 COVID-19 patients from Strasbourg, the capital city of the hard-hit Grand Est region, to less-strained hospitals in the Pays-de-la-Loire and other regions Thursday morning.

The government is calling the innovation a “first in Europe.”

France turned a speed train to ICU to evacuate infested people.
Some countries ask their medical students to help in hospitals and labs to help find vaccine for the virus.

While in Nigeria, Train stations were shut down, schools closed, medical students were asked to go home. Microbiologists that are supposed to be in labs helping to find vaccines are asked to go home and be playing ludo.
Nigeria summarised!

Wow

France is doing a good job.

This pandemic just goes to show that the major difference between the developed and under developed world is her leaders.

Nigeria has had years of plenty, where oil prices where high and brought a lot of revenue to the country. Unfortunately our leaders have consistently looted the country instead of building the nation's infrastructure. Now that a pandemic has struck, the developed world with thousands of cases are fighting strong with the infrastructures built over the years, whereas here in Nigeria, our health sector is already spent and exhausted after just a few confirmed cases.

The looting of the country did not start with buhari or this regime. PDP OR APC, they all looted this country to shit. The common man is left to scamper for crumbs while the politicians feast on his birthright you.

If PDP that are in the for front of opposition have built infrastructure and not looted like APC is doing right now, we would still have been better off. But they are all the same...

Heartless politicians.

The government of today is exactly the same as the government of yesterday. They promised there was going to be a change, but they simply changed party labels.

If you are a young person in this country, and still speak for, defend, or take side with any politician (pdp or APC). I honestly invite you to evaluate your mental health.

This people travel to developed country with tax payers money, enjoy the good life over there, then return to the shit hole from where the emerge and ignore the fact that it stinks. They do this because whenever they get tired of the mess around, they simply go for a taste of the good life in developed countries. While we stay here and languish.

Their kids don't school here. No, they enjoy the best education abroad. But over here the educational system is a joke.

The only difference is party labels. If Coronavirus has broken out during the past administration, we would have coped better, but not for long. Infrastructures where lacking then as they are lacking now. The only difference was that there were sound minds who could reason somewhat intelligently (I make reverence to the Ebola case).

Finally. All Nigeria politicians, past or present,are the same and should be treated as such. Don't stand up for them, stand up for yourselves. Because at the end of the day, they've got you to 'feed' on. Now who have you got?

This is what I'm saying , all this foreign countries , with all their sophisticated machineries and intellectual minds ...had to shut down religious houses and restrict movement ...buh here in Nigeria that we lack simple quarantine facilities ...we have some folks walking around aimlessly in the name of sturboness..
And churches gathering crowds to enlighten them against staying in crowded places ,and some folks saying affliction of the Egyptians shall not befall the Israelites about without observing simple precautions .
Nigeria is just a case entirely !!!!!

This is nice, but I pray ours won't get to that.

All the ungoing projects should be paused for now, the masses need assured palliatives from govt this trying times. Food, provisions, drugs, funding emergency services, etc should be their priority for now. I hope they will listen to this unlike the way they handled our calls for border closure for over 3 weeks

Nice one

But why is the French govt bragging that it is the first in Europe when people are dying in their numbers

It's "Covid-19", sir.

I wonder how Nigerians think a certain government will build them a world-class healthcare system, modern railway systems and all what not in a few years.

There are basic things that we can manage to do to curtail the virus than always blaming our government and debating about the origin of the virus.

The virus is here; we have a failed system. What next? Let's stop all the back and forth with who is to blame.

Heck, why didn't these countries close their borders when they were hit with the virus? Why aren't their citizens tearing them out for not doing so?

We agree that things are not working out in this country but we can salvage what's left.

COVID-19

Innovating people from the genesis.

China built a massive hospital under a week.
Italy's conversion of containers into ICUs is underway.
Now

France has converted speed trains into ICUs. (On a normal day, the idea would not cross their mind talk more of implementing).

Corona Amaka.
But do fast come go abeg.

My problem is not the virus. Its this entity called Nigeria... With high level technology and skilled work force Europeans & Americans are dying like this.

With our poverty level, Huge population, wired Nurses and outdated facilities. How can we handle this ?

Earlier today I begged Nairalanders for 2000 Naira and around 6pm today I got alert of 1000 Naira each from two different from people who didn't know me from no where, they have never met me, they have never spoken to me before, I didn't do any work for them, they were not owing me.
Lord God answer this prayer that is coming from my heart tonight bless those two people abundantly, forgive whichever sins they might have committed, whatever they have been asking from you heavenly father please grant unto them, don't let them lack or hungry in their entire life, no evil shall befall them and their families in Jesus name, they will never beg for bread, their cups shall overflow, you will not die untimely, money will never be your problem in life from today, sickness will not know you and those who you love, no weapon formed against you shall prosper in Jesus name.
The money meant a lot to me and some other people. I can't thank you enough, may heavenly Lord bless you abundantly throughout your entire life. May he bless me too so I can help anonymous people. This really touched me.
