The way some people confirmed positive by the this test recover within a few days makes one begin to wonder if some tests are properly done

This issue has been troubling me and I hope Lagos State Government, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency(LASEPA) and the ministry of health can take note.

We are actually doing more harm than good to ourselves with the use of Cleaning tap bucket that is being used in Markets and Garages.

These taps are placed in dirty areas with no or little drainage system or with the aid of bucket for collection(pukes). I keep thinking what if someone who is infected washes his/her hands and the water got infected or the tap got infected, is that not a calamity again. The kinda soap being used is even worrisome.

Except this virus is a scam, aitirinkankan. The issue of nose masks is another day discussion.

May God help us.

I got tested on the 20th of April and they said my result will be ready in 3 days but I got a text on the 30th (after 10 days) and it's Negative. I can't explain the fear that gripped me coupled with the thought of people I might have endangered within the waiting period but las las na God win.
May you never be in any condition that will shake your faith in Jesus name.
This pandemic will pass soon and we'll all bounce back. Read Psalms 91 to boost your faith always.

DriggityDre:

First of, the only way to identify 2019-nCoV properly is by studying its viral genome sequence.

To verify that an illness is the new coronavirus, scientists must first gather viral samples from a person by taking swabs of saliva or mucus from their nose and mouth.
The mucus then gets shipped off (typically on ice packs) to a lab for testing.

Tests are being done, with a "reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction" test, or RT-PCR, which can convert RNA into DNA and amplify genetic sequences, making them easier to study and compare.

Now tests can be dispatched to determine whether someone has the new coronavirus, in a kind of genetic-sequence matching game.

Just like any other test, results could still be prone to manipulation.
So, it doesn't debunk the theory that there might be false cases in Nigeria.


Thanks for ur time sir.

After taking samples from suspected people, you free them to go home and begin to interact with others, then when the result comes out positive you come back to pick the person and then you begin contact tracing....
From the contact tracing, you collect samples, you free them to interact with people, when the result comes out positive, you came to pick them and continue contact tracing ....

You won't stop contact tracing in millions years to come coz the more you pick up people who are positive the more people they have interacted with...

NCDC park your things and go. Market Don close.
SCAM! They will do anything to keep Nigeria and Nigerians "locked down". This coronashit is nothing but Flu of different variant. Instead of the govt to work towards vaccine they keep scamming the people locking down unnecessarily. I am so tired of this shhheet! angry

4. Once tested, the official TAT for your covid 19test results to be out is within 48-96hours.

Lol...Naija! We are still expecting the result of one we did in Lagos Mainland Hospital Yaba since Monday.

How long is the swab ? We saw a very long stick being pushed into a woman's nose as a way of obtaining samples.

That alone will freak me out.

Do they give any analgesic before being tested?

I can't just even stand the test. Lol

2. Covid 19 is identified using the PCR method by the NCDC. This is the only effective way to determine the presence of the virus in the human body.

Isn't this painful? Seeing it makes me feel somehow.
