Arrr not again, why must you guys keep asking this silly
question every night. The total number of those that have been contacted the virus from the very first case till tonight is there so also the total number of those who been treated and discharged is right there. Why not do the addition and
subtraction yourself to get the number of waiting of those still having the virus presently instead of expecting them to tell you the number of those still having the virus. Anyone looking for the first time or whenever you should be look at the critically and make deductions from both the active cases and those already discharged and arrive at figure of those still having the virus.

You are conflicting Total Active Cases with Total Confirmed cases.

Total confirmed cases will never decrease, it is an ever increasing number and will document the total number of people that got infected regardless if the passed or recover.

What you are referring to, is Total Active cases which will account for total deaths plus total discharged....Total Active cases will fluctuate up and down each day and the best scenario is for it to eventually reduce to zero.

Love4God:

You lack comprehension.
I am trying to say that the number of discharged persons per state should be posted by the side of the number of confirmed cases(persons) by state.Some people don't know if all the discharged persons are from one state.
Imagine someone arguing this morning that Enugu state as at last night still has two confirmed cases and that no body was discharged in Enugu state .
If the NCDC had put a column by the side for displaying the number of discharged persons per state as well as the number of confirmed cases per state it would be much easier to know how many states have zero covid -19 patients,they should not expect people to do the addition and subtraction per state by themselves,it is the job of the NCDC to do that,that is how proper record keeping is done.Accountants,secretaries and other related field on this platform can attest to that .

Don't shift the goal post please you demanded why they didn't remove the number of discharged persons from the number of those still having the virus at the moment. you never said they should give state by state break down of discharged person.
That fellow is an illiterate, don't wallow with an illiterate.
Since it was not stated in the update that the total number of discharged persons is from a single state, ordinarily anyone should know that the number of discharged persons released is the total number of discharge persons across all the states in country

We Lagosians are defiant ni...we refused to actually observe total lock down. As it is, we kept passing it round. May God help us.

Oya exponential growth, let's go! Our testing will not be able to keep up. That's how it happened in other countries and it will happen here too, we're just at the start of the curve.

Apparently we are all sinners, but there comes a time when sins of man will stir up the wrath of God to chastise mankind, and he can prove to us that he is God who created heaven and Earth. Remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Egyptian plague ( when all first born died, as a result of their fathers sins ). Only those that God loves are saved from evil.

Love4God:
The total number of confirmed cases must reduce as long as people have been discharged in that state.
E.g we have two confirmed cases in Enugu state then 3 days later those two confirmed cases are discharged.
The number of confirmed cases in Enugu is zero because there is no more case of the virus in that state.
It is wrong publication to display that there are two CONFIRMED cases in Enugu state when the two ACTIVE OR CONFIRMED cases have been DISCHARGED.
E.g If there is only one active case in State A or B and that active case dies or is discharged then there is no more ACTIVE or CONFIRMED case in state A or B.
When displaying the confirmed cases it should reflect also because there is no more confirmed person in state A or B with the virus.

Bros, you are still confusing the stuff....

Remember it is ‘confirmed’ in that, it is in the past; what you are referring to is ‘active cases’. The fact that, you have recovered and has been discharged does not mean that, you were not confirmed positive in the past...so, that tally cannot go down, it can only increase.

There is nothing wrong in the way it is been reported in Nigeria, except that they are not including the active cases. Also, the way Nigeria is reporting it, is the way every other country worldwide is doing....e.g. as at today, China is still reporting about 82k confirmed cases, despite the fact that about 77k of those have recovered and discharged and they only have about 1k active cases, with about 4k deaths.

This is one of the links that tracks the report globally, you can even see Nigeria’s numbers there...

You mean God does not love thousands of people who are infected and have died as a result of covid 19..Its well oo

The below is a thread on nairaland ,a perfect example of what i am talking about.
COVID-19: NCDC Releases Summary Of Test Numbers, States And Activities by AnonPoet: 3:49pm On Apr 18.
You skipped English classes .
There is nothing like "you have recovered and has been discharged" what you should type is "you have recovered and have been discharged".
There is nothing like "China is still reporting about 82k confirmed cases, despite the fact that about 77k of those have recovered and discharged"
what you should type is "China is still reporting about 82k confirmed cases, despite the fact that about 77k of those confirmed cases have recovered and have been discharged"
On the issue of the term "confirmed"
E.g It is confirmed that there are five million aircrafts in America.
Q.If one million of those aicrafts get bad and is disposed of,
how many confirmed aircrafts would remain when aircrafts are to be recounted?
Below is a solved example.
If one million aircrafts are sold from the five million confirmed aircrafts by jan.31st 2020,you can not report on 1st Feb.2020 that there are still five million confirmed aircrafts.
Please take note of the below statement.
There is a difference between "WE HAVE" 400 CONFIRMED CASES OF COVID-19 and "We Had" 400 Confirmed Cases Of Covid-19.

Hahaha...my English teacher are you on Nairaland too? no vess...I never knew we were in a formal English class here.

This is an informal forum and you are here correcting English Language usage?...but you are using a singular verb for a plural noun and can’t even spell all instances of aircraft correctly?....Doctor heal thyself first...” If one million of those aicrafts get bad and is disposed of...”

If this debate is about English, I give up bros...you win, but if you are still arguing about how Nigeria and the rest of the world are getting it wrong by not removing the number of discharged cases from confirmed cases, you and a few confused others you referenced are alone on this and can argue among yourselves.

I will take the expects’ methodology over your internet and English expertise any day, any time.... unless you have some credentials to show, that supersedes that of those who have established and are using this methodology.

The ‘confirmed’ cases have to do with people that have been tested and confirmed to be positive. It have nothing to do with those currently confirmed to be (or actively) positive, which your false equivalency aircraft analogy is trying to portray. This is the same methodology every single country on earth is using.

Love4God:

You lack sense.Despite showing you a thread on nairaland of what i meant you are still talking nonsense.
You need deliverance from argumentatative spirits.
Instead of experts you typed expects.
If you had taking time to search out this topic on nairaland you wouldn't be still typing trash.

Bros....am not the one claiming expertise on the English Language, so I can afford to make mistakes....as far as am concern, this is an informal forum and my primary objective is to communicate and since you were able to make those corrections, it means my objective have been achieve, the rest of your clamor are much ado about nothing!

But, you on the other hand don’t have that Luxury, so stay on top of your game, each time you are trying to correct others...e.g. this is not a proper English construct....” If you had taking time to search out this topic”.

As to your reference to the other thread, the core subject there is different from what is addressed here. No body is arguing the difference between ‘have’ and ‘had’ here either, we all understand that.

The primary concern of the poster that I responded to, was why the tally of confirmed cases are not reducing, given the fact that there are some discharged cases... it was a pure mathematical question, that of number tallying and not some English Language semantics dealing with the past vs present or ‘had’ vs ‘have’.

You can now have the rest of the internet to yourself, am done with this back n forth, you can stick a folk in it!

Is this a joke? This is getting annoying. People had better adhere to the lockdown directive before this thing gets out of hand. Our shaky health system cannot withstand a crisis situation. .
