Immune system is more stronger, still fit and healthy unlike old people

nitigriti:
Good morning everybody and happy Sunday.

So, I'm thinking.

Since this Covid-19 pandemic started in December last year, infection and mortality rates in the 0 - 20 years population segment is less than 0.5% (my assumption, based on reporting in the US, UK, Spain, France, China); maybe 0% sef .

Is there something science can learn from this population segment? For example, do this population segment have the so-called "herd immunity?"

Can someone shed light on this? @Carshopper, @radautoworks, @bigleaf1006, @sexylassie, @dru23, @Izzou and my other bosses.

sexylassie2:
lock down in my opinion is limiting movement in a city and not allowing people to move out of the city

sexylassie2:
but is lockdown and social distancing not different?

you can lockdown a city and not implement social distancing

sexylassie2:
at this moment since our universities both private and public cant find a vaccines against the virus, we have to practice what other countries did and that is lock down and social distancing.

We dont have the resources against mass infection, if everyone is infected, where is the hospitals that will treat them. sincerely speaking it will be a bad thing if people began to die up and down, even WHO will blame Nigeria for not protecting her citizens.

We are not china, Italy or USA, we do not have the resources like that but we can do what they did to stop the spread and that is enforcing social distancing and making sure people stay in their houses and only come out for essential purchase till a drop in cases happens

Money is good but also health is important

northbird:
Although, it's not going to be easy, cos you know religious institutions wield a lot of power in Nigeria o, so politicians are lways careful not to rock the boat.

northbird:
From look of things in Lagos,

I presume dey will do maybe 5am- 5pm n still ban religious gatherings.

N schools will resume maybe later in May for the school students who are writing terminal exams.

Or follow pattern of deir foreign counterparts

northbird:
Control of spread in public space. Seems you underestimate how potent covid 19 is.

In South Korea, d index case spread it to church members, from there, it took anoda turn.

Rite now Kano testing/ isolation centre has been shut down temporarily, reason some of the staff were testing positive. A lot of committee members sef panicked n abandon deir duty posts.

Sure, LASG will relax d clampdown on Monday.
But afterwards, we are in the hands of God.,cos no measure in Lagos will slow down infection rates.

northbird:
If LASG relaxes clamp down.

The three units you mentioned will NEVER work.

Lagos markets, have you been to Ebute Ero / Isaale Eko before, it's a madhouse, no social distancing will work there cos from inception, it's overcrowded.

Nurtw I laff, the only control d chairman has over members is REVENUE collection, it's free for all in the union. No yellow danfo will carry 3 people on a row when passenger yapa for ground.

What about the rickshaws? N d mini buses( Korope) Cos that one body contact dey dey wella

Facemasks. Lagos has a population of 20m people, let's say 50% will go out..

As it stands, can we boast of 5 million face masks in Lagos? @ least 3-5 million pple will b exposed daily.

I agree most lagosians earn DAILY.

Let LASG relax d clampdown n let everyone
hope PROVIDENCEwill protect him/her as dey step out.

But to think any measure apart from lock down will stop infection rates in Lagos is self deception.

Ordinary ikeja underbridge n computer village, see collision of people.

sexylassie2:
I believe social distancing and staying at home will stop the spread.

In Italy, when the daily increase of the spread was high, you dear not come out, the police will arrest you.

Here in Nigeria, we are seeing an increase in daily infection, even if you use face mask and hand sanitizer, when you go to public places, like the market, people will still touch you.

The problem is people breaking the rules of stay at home, the idea that face mask will fully protect you can be misleading, an infected person with facemask will still infect his family members and those around them.

We are still in the early days of corono virus in Nigeria and it will be wrong to tell people to resume work forgetting how our buses are crowded most times.

[color=royalblue]The effect of the lockdown is doing me somehow [/color]

[color=royalblue]Abeg, does Idumota, Oyingbo market, Ladipo, Tejuosho market fall under Large gatherings?[/color]

dru23:
Either way Nigeria is in trouble......

dru23:
You are still in denial lol ..... I said a million times and it seems you not getting it ...." When US sneezes the World catches a cold " if you don't know what that means ,than you are as uneducated as the rest of Trump supporters...


This is Trump due to the fact that he didnt act fast enough to deal with the global crises.. When there was malaria and all types and manners of disease.. The USA are first in line of action, but this type around they are in the last line of action... now due to the global crises the demand of oil has fallen.. You can recall before the crisis Russia and Saudi were fighting over price .. The Saudi decided to pump more oil to punish to Russia and take market share of the oil .. Trump came in talk to them and both countries settle . And oil prices went up a bit, you see right there is the power of the USA influence.. But unfortunately the virus spiral out of country....

India and China are one of the largest buyers of crude oil ,especially China. China and basically the world are dealing with the virus as we speak. Oil is the last thing in any country mind now .. Due to Trump negligence the USA economy is in a recession now and the outcome has affected European countries.....

This is a ripple affects that comes down all the way to Nigeria. Covid19 can't be contained in Nigeria and the cure or vaccine will take at least a year to come out.. For now the Naira will become useless .. The last time I check $1 equals 428 naira.. This is just the beginning

sexylassie2:
staying at home and social distancing can prevent the increase, the method is working in many cities around the world.

people here are breaking the rules of social distancing and staying at home that is why there is an increase

mistadayo:
Hmmm.. I pray Nigeria shouldn't get to the state USA is right now concerning this covid-19 issue. As at this time last month, USA had a record of about 700 deaths. Presently they are above 50,800 deaths. That's above 50k in a month and they have good healthcare system.

I'm tired of staying at home doesn't mean I want the govt to lift the lockdown. We are careless in Nigeria. If this pandemic gets out of hand in Nigeria especially Lagos. To get bed space at the isolation centres would be on who knows who basis.

I don't see buhari lifting the ban on Monday. Even south Africa that is planning of easing the lockdown has recorded over 4000 cases with less recoveries and about 80 deaths.

My suggestion to the govt is that they should do a total shutdown of Nigeria for 2weeks.

The health workers should remain at the hospitals, because when they are off duty and they go back to their families, they can transmit the virus to the family and it's start spreading. Everybody is hiding under the essential workers permit and they are moving around.

Please let's remember that when there is life, there is hope...

Eizenburg:
You disagree?

Eizenburg:
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like today if the mortality rate of Covid-19 isn’t as low as it is. The spread is crazy, infection rate is high, we aren’t getting tested enough; we do not have accurate figures. It’s also a novel virus, what’s to say something more sinister won’t be found out tomorrow about this virus?

Lots of people calling for the end of the lockdown don’t really understand the point of the lockdown to start with . I understand there are challenges that comes with the lockdown, but IMO, it’s the lesser of two evils.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A government that cannot not organize anything, will definitely fail to do this too

Well, the lockdown will be removed next week(hopefully)

God protect us all[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I dont even know if its safe to go out if the lockdown is lifted.

Left to me, the government should do more for the citizens.Provide more palliatives and increase testing. But removing the lockdown is a disaster waiting to happen.

From Magodo to Thomas Estate, 5pm this evening. Anyone?

His in-law can simply put him through, he has an advantage

Babadee1900:
Unfortunately, there’s never an ‘ideal situation’ in this line of business.

Felicity0001:
The both cars will never and can never coupe N100k monthly for 24 months stretch not possible at all.

Down time due to mechanical faults, change of drivers and driver health.

Lockdown is another new factor to be considered in this new era.

radautoworks:
Depreciation is a function of locale in Nigeria. To analyze depreciation in as sterile a condition as possible you should use kbb. Reason is the environment it was written assumes perfect maintenance. That will give an objective valuation without worrying about whether Dem use abro or not. You can then run the calculations with those valuations.

rationalmind:
I also beg to differ .

Vehicles don't have the same rate of depreciation.

Eizenburg:
That still boils down to roughly the same percentage ROI

Eizenburg:
I believe if you assume “good chemistry” like izzou suggested, and maintenance does not go beyond the basics, at the end of the day, your ROI on both vehicles would be very similar.

rationalmind:
No, you cannot keep resale value aside. You are not going to use the vehicle forever.

Eventually when you sell, the money you'll realise from the sale of the corolla will compensate for the "extra money" the civic made
