cool


nothing beats the Lab test for now, all this test kits are far from accurate,.. imagine how doomed you would be if the test kits mistakenly diagnosed you positive of Covid 19, and the doctors claim you are asymptomatic only for them to lock you up for 14 days with people with acute corona virus at the isolation center where you later contract the virus and die


.

You have a point, albeit a very dark one angry

The thing is, this our current testing method isn't fast enough, and we can't carry on like this.

You’re too negative. This same kit has helped other countries like South Korea. There could be mistake but it is still better than testing a few people each day. You can’t be 100% sure that the current method has not misdiagnosed people. Testing should be from home to home sef

People have been trying to launch these rapid test kits into Nigeria for a while now even with the problems (of false positives and false negatives) associated with the antigen tests.

Well, since efforts of Nigerians are never appreciated by Nigerians, lets see where this leads us

This make sense! I’ve never seen anyone reason like this, they don’t see efforts at al, they thinks by doing 10000000 test a day

Mrs Omotola want to make her own billions out of this coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria, just as Burutai and co are cashing out billions from Boko Haram terrorist menace in the north.

This coronavirus will really enrich many Nigerians, including those at the Presidential Task Force, to an average Nigerian, every societal problem is an opportunity to steal and become rich angry

We need to introduce this as an add-on to our treatment plan and then as time goes on we'll determine if it is necessary to keep it or discard it

The hilarious one is the comparison with Ghana when Ghana actually pools tests. A method which has not been used since World War 2 and there is a reason why it has not been used since then

Everyone assumes this is a rapid antibody test whereas the article clearly says its a rapid ANTIGEN test - - world of difference between both. Rapid antibody tests have been disappointingly inconsistent which is why NCDC has been averse to their use, but rapid antigen tests are a new territory altogether and a handful of research labs are working to develop these rapid tests.

PS: That said, the company's claim that these tests are currently being used in the UK raises suspicions about their motives, because the said tests are definitely not currently being used in the UK. The UK still offers only the good old swabs for PCR, so take this news with a pinch of salt

20 minutes to test for a virus like Covid19 is a recipe for disaster, as there could be many false negatives or false positives. Average testing time should be around 5 hours..

It's amazing how tribalism has derailed our focus as Nigerian youths. The politicians know that we are too busy arguing over stupid things than to fight for our future. Even after the suffering most Nigerians are passing through during covid19, they know they'll still manipulate us make us fight over and vote for APC and PDP. Why? We are too busy thinking in the wrong direction and channelling our youthful strength into unproductive ventures like this your statement.

No

.

How possible is it to contact coronavirus in the isolation center? I believe patients are attended to on individual basis and will not be exposed to themselves.

The government should allow private pharmaceutical companies to import these test kits and sell to Nigerians that can afford to buy, you will see that the test kits will be everywhere and this will help stop the spread of this covid 19 virus.

90% accuracy is a huge problem. It means in every 100, 10 of the results will be wrong.

In this case, you will have positive people testing negative and discharged into the community to re-infect others.

Work done, zero
Yes Boss. Conditional probability involving false positives and false negatives can be counterintuitive.

If 1% of 1000 people (10 people) has the virus and the test has a false positive of 10% and correct accuracy of 90%. It means that when 1000 people does the test, the test kit will detect the virus in exactly 9 of the 10 people who has the virus, yielding 1 false negative, but it will also yield a positive result in 99 of the remaining 990 people who do not have the virus, bringing the total to 108 positives instead of 10.

But It's not a huge problem if more than one rapid test kit is used on each individual before a final assertion is made. At least, they don't have to wait too long for result.
And also, I think that's better than testing less than 0.001% of the entire populace since the virus started and leaving citizens who would have tested positive roaming on the streets and infecting others
