Swissh:
Why will you need to see an official statement when our nairaland experts like Izzou already told us it's coronavirus. Any death in Nigeria at this moment is covid_19 because we haven't been facing other illness that kills us and neither have people been dying before Coronavirus came to Nigeria.

Ibime:


The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, is the clearinghouse for all U.S. spy agencies and is the head of all seventeen agencies including the CIA.
You've been talking half-baked rubbish since you opened your mouth to say this

[s]Now their head office has released statement saying it's not man-made, you are still talking half-baked rubbish.

You are completely out of your depth. Go and Sleep[/s].

You people have a penchant for trivializing everything. Anything and everything is a joke to you. It's not every time one engages in discussion to win an argument. When someone makes a post, the sensible thing is to counter their points with facts, not hurling insults or making assumptions (and trying to counter your own assumptions), or trying to be mischievous to win an argument.

Everything isn't always about winning an argument. And if someone counters my points in a post with facts, I would accept I'm wrong and learn from them. However, all I've seen is personal attacks, which don't address any point raised.

BlueRayDick:


I don't remember quoting you telling to stop Ur posting Ur theories be it conspiracy or not.

Swissh:



You are a mumu and have been typing foolishly ever since. The same verbal autopsy you and your fellow Lab rats ridiculed here for straight two days.

What a double faced bomboclaaat. You better not tag me any of your senseless post again.

Eruditor:


Agencies disagree with themselves. CIA have not presented any thing to the POTUS. DNI said they agreed with WHO and CDC. Mutually exclusive events.

[s]More rubbish.

DNI is not a separate entity to CIA but is the boss of CIA, and they have spoken.

I guess those nairaland experts were right after all. Swallow ur L in peace bro

thorrvik55:


No half sensible individual would ever think verbal autopsy would help determine if cause of death was covid19 related or not..

Eruditor:
According to Gwarzo: “With the preliminary report, most of the deaths recorded of recent and test carried out indicated that coronavirus is the cause".

So not all the deaths were COVID-19 deaths? Okay.

Swissh:



What kind of confused being are you? Dude

izzou:


Nowhere did anyone say all deaths were Covid-19 deaths
[/s]
What fuelled this argument was when Mr Switch started talking about how it's politics and how Lassa fever had killed more people than Covid-19 as at March 2020

Everybody knows that all deaths are not related to Covid-19, but whatever will take the life of 12 prominent Kano indigenes in 10 hours, killed and Emir and a professor in the past few days will not be malaria or typhoid.

Speak for yourself

Swissh:

Many people lack comprehension and will take this your statement out of context. Lately every death in Nigeria is associated with Covid-19 which I don't understand. Lassa fever has actually been ravaging Nigeria this year before Coronavirus jumped in. As at March Lassa fever has killed 162 people in 2020 along with
900 confirmed cases.

Melvyn11:

Does this mean ibime is an half sensible individual?

thorrvik55:

Eruditor:


1. You should read some posts.

2. Lassa Fever had killed more people than COVID-19 as at March. Swissh was right. Lassa Fever was declared an epidemic in Nigeria for a while now- especially in the north.

3. Apart from the very recent deaths, I can guarantee you that zero autopsy was done on any one who died in Kano. So they do not know, but Gwarzo has to play to the gallery for optics.

izzou:


Again, Nobody said Switch was wrong. But downplaying Covid-19 as the most possible cause was what sparked this arguement.

And are you really sure Gwarzo played to the gallery in this one?

Eruditor:


You should read other people's posts.

The few samples they got from Kano were contaminated. They were not even well-named. They sent them(the improperly named ones)back to Kano and the so-called health workers there instead of retrieving new samples, just renamed the old ones and sent them back to Abuja. I can almost say with 95% certainty that the NCDC in Abuja in anger, did not test those samples at all. But because of all the hoopla surrounding Kano, Gwarzo had to come out to make this statement. Some of the samples tested negative to COVID-19.

Swissh:



You will have to direct that question to the dustbin who wrote the above post.

izzou:


You sound so sure.

So what exactly do you think is responsible for these deaths?.

I'm not saying you should be sure. But what do you think may most likely be the cause?

From https://id2020.org/:

"Since 2016, ID2020 has advocated for ethical, privacy-protecting approaches to digital ID.

For the one in seven people globally who lacks a means to prove their identity, digital ID offers access to vital social services and enables them to exercise their rights as citizens and voters and participate in the modern economy. But doing digital ID right means protecting civil liberties and putting control over personal data back where it belongs...in the hands of the individual.

Every day, we rely on a variety of forms of identification to go about our lives: our driver’s license, passport, work badge and building access cards, debit and credit cards, transit passes, and more.

But technology is evolving at a blinding pace and many of the transactions that require identification are today being conducted digitally. From e-passports to digital wallets, online banking to social media accounts, these new forms of digital ID allow us to travel, conduct business, access financial and health records, stay connected, and much more.

While the move to digital ID has had many positive effects, it has been accompanied by countless challenges and setbacks, including large-scale data breaches affecting millions of people. Most of the current tools are archaic, insecure, lack appropriate privacy protections and commoditize our data. But that’s about to change and ID2020 is leading the charge.

We are businesses, nonprofits, governments and individuals...working in collaboration to ensure that the future of digital identity is, indeed, #goodID."
https://id2020.org/

This, including Bill Gates' advocacy for digital certificate/passport for COV vaccine, was what got me alarmed in the morning and prompted me to research further on this pandemic and vaccination. But without making any definitive stand on the issue, some people assumed wrongly and didn't address the issue at hand.

The technology to gather and track data of humans around the world seems innovative, but what are its pros and cons? Can people trust this organization or a similar one with their data?

What happens if the data fall into wrong hands?

These were the exact concerns I had in mind when I made my first comment on this issue earlier.

Any technology is beneficial if it's necessary and its pros outweigh its cons? Can we say the same thing about this one?

Swissh:
And somebody said it perfectly


"" This lockdown is also preventing sick people from going to the hospital for treatment!!
They're number of sick people in Kano who no longer have access to the hospital and I think kano state government should do something about that! People are also calling radio stations complaining that their love ones with malaria, diabetes, typhoid don't have access to drug ""

It's refreshing seeing people that can still think.

eph12:

You're late to the party. You will be surprised by the kind of data google and the likes have about you. I wonder why people are not protesting against google.

Propaganda!!!

Robben had to go . He was just too injury prone after the first two seasons. Malouda was actually great at Lyon. It's a mystery why he never played at that same level at Chelsea.
