to meet another woman to quarantine for 14days.

franchasng:
Even though I subscribe to Seun's thought and idea, I must confess that you spoke professionally and it made lots of sense.


Testing capacity should be increased faster, the lockdown should continue but with better welfare packages beyond sharing rice and garri in crowded centers.

The economy will suffer hugely if this lockdown continues for the next 10 days

SweetCunt97:
For real? That's cold. She wey born 5 kids suppose get back up plan naw.

sapientia:


Seun, kindly stop this.

Your bolded is misleading. You said just by without stating that it also helps.

Massive testing when you know fully well that it will be impossible for a month. We are still planning to increase test labs to 13 by next week to see if we can get 1000-1500 tests daily.

Wearing masks will not help anyone if a carrier who is wearing masks have already used his hand to sneeze. He will simply rub it everywhere.

The lockdown was 100% necessary just that Nigeria have been caused since 1960 that FG and states are foolishly and shamefully begging for donations.

Nigeria can afford masks for every single Nigerian since a month ago without breaking a sweat.

Aside testing kits and Isolation centres which all donated money could take care of, Nigeria should be able to take care of other things.

We are just cursed with looters as leaders that is why this lockdown is challenging but it remains the best option for a country with no health infrastructure.

Seun, I think you need to do more research about this virus and listen to the experts.

First of all, everything is secondary when it comes to human lives. Business, economy etc. Human lives are priceless. We cannot gamble with human lives because we want Nairaland or other companies to grow or not lose money.

The use of face masks, according to experts doesn't stop the spread of the virus effectively. How do you even think government can enforce face masks and social distancing? Do you think we have the manpower to station law enforcement officials at every nook and cranny of the society? In market places, football centres etc, is it realistic to practice social distancing effectively?

The whole purpose of the lockdown is not only to minimize the spread of the virus effectively but also to ensure that the medical centers designated for treatment of the virus wouldn't be overwhelmed. If everyone contacts the virus at the same time, people would be dying en masse because we don't have enough medical centers. Despite the lockdown, it is still spreading at a high rate and the numbers are growing, how much worse will it be with the use of only facemasks and everyone is still going about their normal businesses?

The companies creating these test kits, most of what they're developing is still experimental at best and the results aren't 100% correct. Keep in mind that most of these companies are just trying to make quick profit so it would be unreasonable to patronize their products. Imagine someone uses the kit and is tested wrongly, and therefore doesn't self-isolate, wouldn't it keep spreading through such people to others?

Medical experts and scientists some of whom have spent their entire lives studying about viral diseases, its prevention, containment etc have recommended self-isolation/quarantine/lockdown to most governments. It is better to follow their guidelines. Stop imagining solutions you think will work when in reality more knowledgeable people on the subject say it wouldn't.

We cannot prevent untimely death in its entirety but it is important to try to minimize it as much as possible. Anything that's taking lives in a short period of time with reckless abandon and spreads like wildfire should not be taken lightly and extreme precautions are necessary.

Having said all this, the main question that should be asked is why the government isn't doing more to sustain poor folks at home. Even if the government says that it doesn't have the means to take care of all its poor citizens, many individuals and companies have donated. If the govt asks for help from foreign countries, there will surely be lots of donations, why are they not making the funds available to the common man during this isolation period? The US made funds available to most citizens earning below $75,000. Our daft governors are sharing eba and soup (which will digest in two hours) when there are better avenues like sending money to the accounts of low earners through their BVN. Asking these questions should be your focus, not undermining the recommendations of renowned medical experts.

Don't worry be asking of kyari, you will soon carry placard like others. Everything must be ridicule and scoffing to you people

Oshigun:
Wishing them all a speedy and full recovery. They are playing their part to show us Covid-19 is not a death sentence while urging us to do the right things.

In the end, it is joint effort from everyone that will see us through. Those who lead and those who are led should act responsibly and sensibly so we all live to fight our problems another day.

We will fight this virus and we will win.....God bless NIGERIA...please Stay at Home if you get food.

So i read on one of the post about some lagosians protesting as a result of hunger due to the lock down by the president.

Some people don't even know what we are in. Countries like US, Russia.... etc, are devising a means to fighting the deadly virus while their citizens stay indoor. Here we are in Nigeria, displaying stupidity.

It is not even like there is a lock down in lagos, because you still see people disobeying the order, you see cars running on the roads, bike riders doing their daily works, and also social distancing is a no no in this country.


Tomorrow someone would wake up and start blaming the president. This presidential work ain't easy, you have to consider many things before making a decision.


Our only hope now is for the scientists to find a cure for this virus, else the rate will keep increasing.

One thing i hate about Nigeria : no unity.

The two week's lock down by the FG is for the good of the country, we all need to endure. Now cases are rising up as a result of the shut down, people who had contracted the virus a week to the shut down are now showing symptoms.


The big question should be, " If the FG hadn't shut down markets, schools, activities...etc, what would Nigeria look like today?"

Marketwindow:


I can bet it, you must be an arrogant spoilt guy with some money to cope in this shut down....Wu u elp

Seun:
Staying at home is not the answer for a country with so much poverty. There is no point in saving ppl from the Coronavirus only for them to die of hunger and malnutrition and increased crime. The lockdown policy is simply unsustainable. It is at best a temporary measure to enable the government to get it’s act together. It is not a long-term strategy.

There is no country that has beaten the Coronavirus just by asking people to stay at home. The countries that are beating the Coronavirus, China and South Korea, both did 2 things:
1) Massive testing of suspected cases and isolation of infected people.
2) Encouraging everybody to wear face-masks in public to dramatically reduce the rate of transmission, because many carriers of the virus have no symptoms and can still spread it

Those are the key things we need to do. Shutting down the economy will rob us of the financial resources that we need to carry out the measures that actually work. If we actually calculate economic losses for each day that Lagos is closed, we would be shocked.

Just as asking people to abstain from sex to prevent AIDS never worked, but urging them to use condoms worked, asking people to stay at home when they are poor, cannot work. Our government doesn't have the resources to feed everyone until the vaccine is ready. What we need is for people to use a condom for their faces when they have to go out. If 80% of us can wear face-masks, the problem is solved.
