Ezyp:
What's Trump worshipping in my statement. Can't you read or see that initially WHO are confused. They initially said there was no need for facemask for people who are healthy but as you can read facemask is a necessity.

EVERYONE has been “confused” with Covid-19...
Heck, Trump himself has been about the most (and is probably still) confused.

It seems you don't understand the world around you. Believe CDC, WHO at your peril.

Everything I told my folks in January came to pass in March. I am fine with 2 years lockdown.

Oh my bad...
I should’ve have been checking with anonymous dudes on NL instead.

Of course, CDC and WHO are not infallible, particularly with a NEW disease...
Accordingly, some of us know there will be missteps and revisions - as the body of knowledge develops.

Which one is “elitist” hospital again...
Abegi just let the dude Rest In Peace.

Sprumbaba:
Who is in bed with China. They let this grew out of hand. Who told us in January there was no evidence of human to human transmission.

Until there was...
Just as CDC didn’t recommend masks (or thought them useful) until it did.

That’s how science works...
With a NEW virus, you go with the available evidence until new ones emerge.

I give up on u o. Something the whole world watch on CNN that doesn't like trump

I have posted the FDA’s OFFICIAL STATEMENT...
And you’re going on about CNN, as if it’s any better than ChannelsTV.

This is an OFFICIAL US DOCUMENT that will end up in the Library of Congress.
And you think it can be overridden by some editorial comment by a journalist. SMH

It can prevent from getting infected. You have your nose and mouth protected. Those are the easiest access the virus has. you

All you need to do is to touch a door knob, hug or shake hands with an asymptomatic infected person (who may not be as hygienic as you - eg, coughed into their own hands) and then rub your eyes (or touch your nose and mouth when you get home, depending on how long thereafter). Best to think of masks as preventing you transmitting it to others, and observe all social distancing protocols.

Abegi, stop substituting reporters’ colloquialisms for fact...

Below is link to the FDA’s ACTUAL STATEMENT...
And the first line of the 2d paragraph SPECIFIES that the FDA has NOT approved any drug for the treatment of Covid-19.

blowjohn:
U think its Trump that just woke up one day and said chloroquine works. Dont u know he has a medical team of experts?
Hasn't the FDA approved it for use?

NOPE! The FDA hasn’t...
So sadly it is Trump who “woke up one day and said chloroquine works” (to quote you)!

As for those taking this pandemic more seriously...
Chloroquine was fast-tracked for clinical trials - but sadly evidence thus far is not promising.

This escapee is NOT a “patient” unless she tested positive....
Since there’s NO indication she did, the press stop causing unnecessary panic.

mployer:
Can you imagine?

So WHO actually advised against wearing face mask?

Those guys are never serious. I listened to their press conference talking about domestic violence as a result of the self-isolation, lol. When there is a more pressing issue.

So you view domestic violence as a laughing matter? SMH...

World health organisation should be shut down till further notice.. their insinuations on this virus of a thing has been the direct opposite right from day one. Abi are they in partnership with evil Chinese

Would you rather they be in partnership with the “evil” West (or perhaps the “evil” Africans)?

MrPRevailer:
Ok I heard you. The video evidence/news is out there. But It didn't happen. I've heard you.

9jaRealist reporting from his bed.

Please feel free to share video evidence of this...
And evidence doesn’t mean some right-wing nut job pulling stuff out of his sitter on video (Alex Jones-style).

You seem to be very conversant with YouTube...
So it easy for you to pull up those press conferences/releases where US officials overruled the US President.

In fact, I CHALLENGE you to do so... we will wait...
Meanwhile, since we are going to be waiting for a while (probably forever), abegi let me kuku return to my bed.
>

MrPRevailer:
Lol. Do you know what you are saying? One cell is enough to breakdown and multiply.
Also it is verified by scientists. Not an assumption.

Aerosols are NOT cells...
There are simply airborne biological particles.

Accordingly, the viral load on aerosols have to be enough to infect human cells (and do so within the period that virus is actively infectious). Studies thus far (albeit of course limited as Covid-19 is a new virus) have not been able to establish that, where there are Covid-19 aerosols, there would be able to infect human cells.

Seun:
How about this tweet by the US Surgeon general:

That tweet is CORRECT...
And consistent with available evidence.

Face masks can prevent transmission...
But there’s NO evidence that regular masks can prevent infection.

VirusVaccine:
The world is totally confused

Everyone is making things up as they go along...

Good luck to us all.

tunene66:
Let's get the context right
The question is does wearing a face mask prevent the one wearing it from being infected from Convid-19 ? The answer is NO
The issue is the one wearing the mask can prevent the virus from spreading by wearing the face mask.
Since there are large numbers of those infected who are asymptotic (not showing any symptoms), then it is advisable for all to put the mask on in public

BLESS YOU!

MrPRevailer:
And it so happens that Coronavirus can be spread by simply breathing or talking.

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/490831-coronavirus-could-spread-through-talking-and

That has yet to be proven...

New evidence is emerging about that POSSIBILITY...
But where viral aerosols have been seen or studied thus far, it has not been shown to be enough to infect cells.

What has been scientifically established BEYOND DOUBT thus far is that droplets are infectious...
Accordingly, regardless of whatever else we do, social distancing is IMPERATIVE - and thus all such advice thus far still holds.
>

Kalusam:
There are detailed studies, this is is one which was highlighted in this video below. for those who feel using masks is a waste of time:

Like I said, new decisions are being made as new evidence surfaces...
However, the video is still consistent with masks preventing transmission rather than infection.

PS: Btw, from a scientific point of view...
The aerosols depicted in the video might not necessarily be enough to infect cells, but that’s a whole different topic.

iamvictorbassey:
I feel that

Initially NCDC were faking cases of Corona virus for probably financial gains.

Which is why they have so many recovered cases. Since those fake people will have to go back after the whole arrangement. But lemme not sound pessimistic though.

When the real genuine cases will start, and men will start falling. I'd really love to know and see how many they can recover.

For those quoting me, don't worry. Time will tell. America, Italy and the rest started like this. My post will be here. Let's keep allowing people with confirm cases to escape. Don't worry. Isn't it in Bauchi they said a mosque held prayers? A state whose Governor is a carrier, and their aides are usually not tested because they're nobodies. Me I'm a realist, I don't believe all those stupid prayers of God will bla bla. The way Nigerians will die ehn? Don't worry. This post will be here. Time is the key here.

I hardly reply people.

There’s been only 25 discharged cases (out of 210), so exactly how’s that “so many”?

Unfortunately, why Covid-19 will end up killing many Nigerians is ignorance - such as yours and the escapee’s. SMH
>

Heffalump:
There have been cases of people abandoned without medication and food in isolation. Have you seen the videos going round? That's what I meant.

Those in isolation should be carefully observed and catered for. Period!

They are more vulnerable and delicate at this time of isolation!!!

You mean there’ve been “stories”...

Of course people in isolation should be fed (and the few videos and testimonies we have seen and heard from those who have actually been in isolation centers indicate they are being fed), but the reality is that most people do not understand the nature of isolation centers and think it would be similar to regular holding facilities where people and staff would be trooping in and out. It takes a while for folks to settle into isolation.

komekn:
Wrong move by the government.

Ivory Coast is not an area with high infection rates, it's not Italy. No testing, no rational, just speculative negative assumption.

Then you put them in isolation and call them patients, what sickness "government Corona paranoia"

CIV has a higher number of confirmed cases than Nigeria....
But regardless, ALL returnees need to quarantined or self-isolate.
>

>
SELFISH AND LAWLESS NIGERIANS

Meanwhile, OP, the escapee is NOT a “patient”...
Unless he was one of those 6 who reportedly tested positive.

Not everyone in quarantine is a patient...
And describing him as an escaped patient causes unnecessary panic.

MrPRevailer:
Look, I know you don't have mobile data to watch videos. Stop peddling your ignorance

It would even be better if you were peddling YOUR own ignorance...
But blindly regurgitating the ignorance of other (ignorant) people is quite frankly sad. Do better bro!

Kalusam:
The wearing of masks has been proven to reduce the spread of the Virus, a case in point is the Czech Republic where there is a nationwide lock down and mask must be worn if anyone plans to go out of their building for shopping and essential services.

In the absence of detailed studies...
Don’t presume because two things are happening simultaneously, there’s necessarily a causative link. Truth is we presently don’t know if there is.

As I previously noted, Covid-19 is new and EVERYONE is scrambling and learning new things everyday...
Nonetheless, EVERYONE (including the CDC and WHO) acts on the ‘best’ evidence available at any point in time.

babaolofin:
Because GEJ and your brothers released him after death sentence. Is that not what I said above.

Just as OBJ and “my brothers” released Diya from his own death sentence...
The point is there is NO moral component to any of this lot being alive today.

MrPRevailer:


The CDC and deep State fought hard to get Coronavirus into America and spreading undetected. I know the story.
Even in January when infected Americans were in the cruise ship Japan, Trump ordered that they must not be allowed to U.S until they are cured. However, someone, overided the Presidential order and brought them in. Trump was very furious.

Quit abegi...

No US official or agency can override a presidential directive...
The reality is that Trump has been all over the map on Covid-19.

Initially, called it a ‘hoax’ and then thought it’d disappear after a couple of weeks....
Even as recently as last week, he was thinking that it will be largely gone by Easter. SMH

somehow:
This is not the solution o.

Let us wait for like 1 month before deciding to go this route. we are not sheep, should not be following US up and down like a sheep. They are not a model to follow on this pandemic issue, we rather follow countries that have shown proof of curtaining the virus, not the ones recording hundreds of death daily.

ornicus:
The cdc hasn't exactly covered itself in gold as far as this pandemic is concerned.

Attacking this requires a multi pronged approach. The face masks are not n95, and can give a false sense of security. Masks are only one point. Clean hands, clean surfaces, social distancing.

I had a small stash and when this started, I sent my kids to school with masks only for them to start getting weird looks from their teachers and fellow students.

The mystery that has not been solved is our low corona mortality.

Well said!

I just hope the federal government of Nigeria makes this a nationwide thing, we cannot ask everyone to sit at home many farmers needs to attend to their crops, to avoid looming famine after the lockdown!

Farmers are NOT being asked to stay at home...
The PTF specifically exempted farmers and those supplying agricultural inputs (like fertilizer, etc.).

Seun:
It looks as if the reign of the dreaded Coronavirus is nearing its end as countries are beginning to realize that the WHO’s guidance against wearing face-masks is comically, tragically, obviously, and totally wrong.

The CDC face mask recommendation that Trump immediately said he will NOT be following?

Anyway, Covid-19 is a new virus with new developments everyday, and thus everyone is making it up as we go along...
Danger is that wearing face masks will lure folks into a sense of security that they will not be infected, and they stop social distancing.

Good luck to us all.
