So the international medical system are ignorant.

There is a way to prove if drugs work and it is not this way.

Most people with coronavirus

Once again MOST do not require any treatment. Their bodies fight it off .

Those who DO are treated for symptoms like fever with paracetamol.


In Nigeria malaria is common and so chloroquine may help a few people but malaria in Nigeria now is largely chloroquine resistant

Kobojunkie:


Bauchi, according to records, has only had 29 Coronavirus cases so far, and only 6 recovered.

I recall CNN screaming that MASKS don't work and the rubbish was repeated on this site. NOTHING cures a virus! Hydroxychloroquine + Zpack is a treatment and it works and AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE HEART DISEASE it is completely SAFE. It gives your immune system the space (in a manner of speaking) to fight it off. Remdesivir does the same thing, the only thing is Remdesivir is patented and profitable and Hydroxy is NOT. Americans don't want Trump to kill the market for Remdesivir that is the ONLY problem. BOTH WORK and are being USED worldwide despite the deliberate SMOKE CNN is creating to defend their major advertiser. COVID-19 is big business whether we like it or not.

You learnt that word during this crisis and you are now mimicking it now without even knowing the meaning Africans oooooo

SalamRushdie:


Will you keep quiet , was it not the same combination he took? I am beginning to think it's either some of you sold your brain at birth or you are working for satan

Kobojunkie:


Very irresponsible statements for a state governor to make.

TheGoodJoe:


With the way a lot of lies were peddled against chloroquine to one declaring it poison and treatment from statements done on people that were advanced in infections, I am beginning to doubt the resistant talk. Other countries in Africa continued with Chloroquine without problems.

Chloroquine should be moved back to the shelves and people make their choice if they want to get treated with it.

There is confusion all over the world. What do you expect him to tell you. That they are developing a vaccine or cure?
Lol

ityP:


Senegal have recorded ONLY two deaths. They have the highest recovery rate in Africa and 3rd highest in the globe. Chloroquine is what they give to patients who tests positive to the virus. The world is hailing them now

Corporate2020:


Go and read the report again. The governor said he was treated with chloroquine and Zithromax when he contacted COVID-19 and was in Isolation Centre and that he was healed. That is why he is now recommending it.

ooohoo:
Did he approve the drugs before they were administered on him? Maybe not. So, he should have been quiet about it and let the health practitioners do their jobs, even if they have to use the drugs.

It may be true that the drugs worked on him, but it was utterly careless to have released a statement touting the drugs, knowing fully well how we abuse things in this part of the world.

Nevertheless, every means should be made to save lives, that's the most important thing.

I know a lot of medical terms. Punk. I didn't waste my years in school. And I used it in context to what I meant. You are the one that is the ignorant African here

Can you name a single COVID patient it didn't work for? I can present over 50 it has worked for , I can present research to show it works ...Please what you rather he do ? Use the infusion and respirator path that only guarantees a harvest of death ?

Very irresponsible statements for a state governor to make.

kayrichy:

Still the same thing I said earlier the prolonged QT interval ,abnormal ECG ,diarrhea and all are all adverse effects of chloroquine but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work...personally I have treated patients with chloroquine and the got better...I am sure it was a doctor who also prescribed chloroquine to the Bauchi state governor..I give patient who are surely above 18years old

Ezewuzie01:
Prof. Maurice Iwu has come up with a more reliable remedy it would do our country better if we patronize him instead of chloroquine that the confused President of USA is touting about.

is the govnor a doctor...why are people bent on knowing musa more than musa mother

TheGoodJoe:
While the drug has been found to be effective in some cases in treating COVID-19, the World Health Organisation and other experts have warned that it has not undergone essential clinical trials to be recommended for treating the disease; and may have detrimental side effects.

---

Same drug that has been used for over fifty years needs to go through fresh trials for side effects.

WHO should tell me another lie. The same chloroquine I drank when I was small until it became like tom-tom.

infogeneral:
Like the Governor rightly said, administration of chloroquine in the right dosage can not harm an average African person because our body systems are already used to different malaria drugs and treatments unlike the oyibos.
Chloroquine might be very effective against coronavirus but it is not promoted because the white populations can not cope with it.
Even when they finally find the vaccines, the same vaccine that works in the US or UK may not work effectively in Africa or vice-versa. We may not have a one-size-fits-all vaccine.
