There are lots of vaccines but this particular one is very promising and as such a big deal as I heard.

It's likely hype. Let it pass through the clinical trials and let's See.

kristo123:
You are clearly missing the point of the argument... Around the is not Nigeria. Show Nigerians dying from the virus, show Nigerians in critical conditions, show the burial bn carried out by NCDC personal on dead COVID-19 patients, show interview of Frontline doctors and nurses narrating the pain they go through and what it means to be a COVID-19 patient in critical condition, organize interview with families that are willing to come forward and just lost a family member to COVID-19. Almost 600 confirmed dead Nigerians no video to show how serious this is...

You are suggesting going to chat with a doctor on Facebook do you know how that sounds. You are Indirectly saying the situation is not serious in Nigeria our doctors are so under strained that they have time to chat on Facebook, for a country that doesn't have enough medical personal, that doesn't have enough medical facilities to handle the rising numbers. But they have time to chat on Facebook weldone. If you were trying to convince us this outbreak is serious you have done the opposite.

Next they'll say Abba kyari, Ajimobi and Sen. Osinowo never had covid.
And since when did doctors start working 24 hours a day with no off days so as not to be able to socialize online and offline?

Olarewaju89:
Sorry bro. You don't have any virus, OK?

I suffered the same thing during the Lockdown in April and i went straight to the pharmaceutical shop close to me. I bought lornat DS, 2 card of panadol, Azithromycin 500mg, white vitamin C and blood caps ( Astyfer caps). To be honest with bro, i took them and i got better within 5-10 days. Since then, I don't believe this NCDC again. They are scam. Yes big scam. Thanks.

That's why I said young adults are 99 percent able to survive it. What you just did was symptomatic treatment. And also boosted your immunity.

Whatever it was that affected me was definitely a respiratory viral infection. Not malaria, because malaria fever rebounds every 48 hours with shivers. And nothing concerns malaria/typhoid with olfactory sensory.

The only thing ncdc is doing wrong is that they're not carrying out enough tests to ascertain the real ( and definitely far higher) numbers of infected/fatalities

God2man2again:
This is where investigative journalism is highly needed to see things clearly about the rising numbers of victims, their names,adresses, phone numbers of covid19 cases are urgently needed, this will convince us to lockdown Nigeria for the second time.

Thank you

Correct. What we need is some blurred videos of the critical patients .

kristo123:
This has nothing to do with sensational comments. If you need medical expert opinion in the field maybe you should seek it... How many Nigerians do you think have access to such medical opinion... Countries like the United States and Italy provided video evidence to show the seriousness of the situation. All we are getting from PTF and the FG is nothing but numbers why no documentary videos to show how serious this is... Good luck convincing people when all that is provided is numbers.

@bolded, that is the typical Nigerian lack of affinity for scientific knowledge at play. There's literally more information at our hands via internet than there has ever Been ever. Our medical personnel have forums online and there's hardly anyone who doesn't have a Facebook friend as a doc.

We All know Nigerians are lousy with recordings and documentation. But you cannot tell me that a virus that has spread round the world would purposely skip Nigeria that is not some remote island with no contact to the outside world. It's not logical na, reason am.

Olarewaju89:
Thank you for this information. May i ask you one question?

Do you have the virus?

If I'm to go for antibody test, there's a good chance that it'll show that I contacted it last month. I suffered anosmia for a week, preceded by light fever and nausea for two days. I'm in my early 30's so I knew that I'm 99 percent likely to survive with just symptomatic treatment .

Olarewaju89:

It's a clear scenario. Nigeria is isolating anyone that tested positive whether they show symptoms or not. 90 percent of covid patient don't need hospitalisation. The UK only hospitalises serious and critical patients. The rest are advised to self isolate. We don't have that discipline in Nigeria here.

Nigeria's approach worked for ebola but it's clearly too expensive for covid with it's hyper spread.

We've only tested less than 0.5 percent of our population. UAE by contrast tested 30 percent of the population. Italy and USA tested 10 percent of population. And in those countries they still admit that the real numbers are far higher.

kristo123:
When there are no documentation or videos showing the moving dead patients or critically in patients.

During the Ebola outbreak there were videos that showed the seriousness of the outbreak.

Keep on giving figures and expect Nigerians to take it seriously.

Have you bothered to seek the opinion of medical personnel? I mean experts in the field, not necessarily the ones receiving hazard allowance. If you've not, plz do And let's avoid sensational comments.

Olarewaju89:
Amen bro. Anybody that quote wrong will surely have it by God grace!

Many Nigerians already carry the virus. And it's still spreading. Blind cursing will not change reality. You've nothing to fear as you're probably young and 99 percent likely not to be affected negatively by the virus. But it's out there. Let's stop living in denial .

biggy26:
Don't mind them. Because they are making money. Which covid19? mchewww.

Wishing it to be A scam does not negate the reality that it exists. Don't worry, you're probably young enough to not be affected by the virus.

nijapoliticsand:
This is really not the problem we have right now.

I read this article somewhere and it confirms South Africa started it`s Vaccinated trial.

They are really starting from Africa.

Two articles i read from this website that is really giving me concern about Africa and how they want to use the love of money to destroy its citizens.

Pleased make a broader search and you'll see that vaccine trials of different stages are going on ALL over the world. There are over 100 vaccine candidates at the moment.

Even drug trials are mainly going on in Europe and America. The result is the Remdesivir and dexamethasone experiment in USA and UK respectively.

Redman44:
Which countries receive the most funding from the WHO? Can you answer my question?

This is the WHO covid special funding request in their website.

They're projecting 675 million dollars to supply equipment and manpower support to about 135 countries. They're not sharing money.

SirWarlock:
Phased out in New Zealand maybe . The virus is still gripping the world. Check the news.

Most of these fellows don't bother to check legit news sources.

murmee:
Tests or no test, is anything alarming happening in the state. That is the question!

.
As far as people have been traveling in and out of the state, there's no need to deny the obvious. The virus doesn't recognize borders.

Redman44:
The world is resuming full activities on all fronts. Covid-19 is being phased out gradually. Why are cases of Covid-19 rising in Nigeria suddenly? Is it because of the money that will be collected from the WHO and other donor Agencies? Africa has not really been affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic. Let us be honest with ourselves.

Does WHO have unlimited funds to give ALL the countries affected by covid?

Just saw the below online but don't know how true it is

Amid a global race to find COVID-19 vaccine, a team of Nigerian scientists recently announced the discovery of a novel coronavirus vaccine that may help prevent the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, according to a report by The Guardian Nigeria.



The discovery of the vaccine for COVID-19, which has so far killed at least 465,300 people globally, was announced on Friday by Nigerian Universities’ Scientists.

Dr Oladipo Kolawole, a specialist in Medical Virology, Immunology and Bioinformatics, at Adeleke University, Ede in Osun, and leader of the research team, said during a news conference that the vaccine was being developed locally in Africa for Africans. According to Kolawole, the unnamed vaccine, when unveiled, would also work for other races.

Kolawole said the group had been working extensively by exploring the SARS-CoV-2 genome from African countries to select the best possible potential vaccine candidates. He added that after trying out some selected processes of vaccine development, the researchers were able to choose the best potential vaccine candidates for the SARS-CoV-2.

The unveiling of the unnamed vaccine would take a minimum of 18 months, Kolawole said, as a lot of analysis and studies, as well as approvals by medical authorities, were still required.

If it's true, there's still nothing new. There are over 100 vaccine candidates All over the world undergoing various stages of trials now. Until it's confirmed effective.

Almost everybody in my town had suddenly lost sense of taste and smell with fever.infact everyone is sick here and I am suspecting it to be corona

Please what's the town and location?

chinwezdasilva:
I am saved by his blood

No be by that one oooo... Some of those that will eventually die are saying the same thing.

Lucifer1419:
. Oga short up, Abba kyari, did not die of any covid-19 virus, stop lying, they just don't want to disclose the cause of his death, all death now is related to covid-19, oga try get sense small abeg.

Did you do a test or carry out any autopsy to counter the claim that he died of covid?. This is just a beer parlour denial you wrote up there.

Hakintoyey:
But I think Coro doesn't exist

So, the whole world's governments and scientists are lying?

TruthinAction:
The story doesn't add up? First, we were told the Killers have been apprehended. Second the Killers confessed they were paid by a Pastor to kill her and even mentioned the said amount. Third, someone posted on his Facebook that she dating two people who are roommates. This allegations should not just be swept under the carpet otherwise her blood will cry vengeance on those trying to cover up the through story.

If these criminals were sent by a Pastor, they should investigate their phone conversation in the weeks prior to the incident. Just saying that the autopsy revealed she was raped a virgin is not enough to stop investigation. Medical student should please confirm how can one determine that a girl was raped a virgin? Looks like damage control to me. No one is too highly placed to be investigated. The family should demand for justice. And the allegation that she was impregnated by a Pastor should not be swept under the carpet. And the Pastor if not guilty should sue those trying to damage his character.

The story that she was pregnant was only quoted in shady backyard blogs. No mainstream news outlet reported that. Let's learn to select where we get news from.

DoubleEngine007:
I don't even know who to bliv in this girl's murder case.Some said she was pregnant, now again she was a virgin . Police and politicians are the problem of this country. Las Las that's how this case will die without the authorities punishing those behind her death.. I weep for this country..

Roman7:
why are those sayin she was pregnant for a pastor?

SirWarlock:
You are lying. Decreasing where? China? South Korea? . You also want us to pass through what US went through? BTW look at their stats, states are experiencing spikes again

It's clear those folks get their news from operanews....

neoclassical:
China really has a deal with WHO. For the fact that the drug is a Chinese product, WHO will certainly approve it. The conspiracy theory is becoming real.

How's it a Chinese drug.

kgr8mike:
Because it came from UK. The Madagascar's cure they branded a herbal tonic. I am inclined to believe this whole thing get as e bi

The UK did a rigorous and detailed study on 6000 patients. They were the epicenter of the virus and had the number to contend with.

Thetruthshallse:
I received a prodcast today, where the Ghanaian president alerted his people about this pandemic, that the virus started from America through Canada to finally being released in China. It was a biological weapon to control the global population. Bill gate was finger by the Ghanaian president. People be prayerful, the satanic people are hell bent on taking control of our world. God on HIS THRONE will not allow them in Jesus name. Amen.

Fake podcast. A president will hardly say such. Not even trump.

ukohajoe23:
Good morning Nairalanders, please I want to know why some states that have Corona Virus don't have New Cases today. Does it mean Corona virus Is on break in those States or that the States didn't test people in those States? Please someone should answer me. Thanks.

Our testing rate is criminally low. USA has tested ten percent of their population... UAE tested a whopping 30 percent. South Korea has drive-through testing points for motorists,etc. We're yet to test up to 0.2 percent of our population. Covid has spread in Nigeria far beyond what the mediocre stats are saying including in those states that are not reporting any....

morgan100:
Exactly my thoughts too, raining season comes with its own flu...

Of course, and spread of other upper respiratory viruses will also increase then. E.g, covid.

joshmee4real:
So Madagascar are now doing Yahoo

At least they put themselves on a global limelight for a moment.

LabuleofNigeria:
Everyone knows that Corona is real and do exist, but the THRUTH is that it is damn OVERATED in Nigeria.
The figures & media reality is far from the actual physical reality.

Dont dull yourself for too long.

It's actually underrated because we've not even tested 0.5 percent of the population. UAE by contrast tested 30 percent of their population.
