Good response!
I hope he won't keep asking?

samdavjustin:
It is tokunbo ofcourse

Ok, thanks

samdavjustin:
Around 7m will finish everything and you can 30 ton truck

Ok, is this amount for a 30ton truck?
Tokunbo or Nigerian used?

Seun:
I do believe that the Coronavirus is currently spreading faster than ever due to inadequate testing by our government. However the rainy season in Southern Nigeria is the season of common cold and malaria, both of which present COVID-like symptoms, so maybe that's what you're seeing?

That's quite possible, but the current rate/incidence has far exceeded what's obtainable in the past.
This suggests something else other than common and malaria has come into play.

samdavjustin:
If you are serious I can introduce you and guide you into the haulage business. It’s one of the most profitable business in Nigeria and one truck is all you need

How much can I get a truck, and what ton is preferable?

ayobamizz:
Still yet to get my roi for the month of June from MBA. It's due since 27th of June, 2020.

No one to call or discuss with at the branch you registered?

JKisOK:
I recast the headline from the originating article and you, of all those who have read it, are the only one incapable of grasping the basic meaning of DOSE.

Part of being a doctor involves standing out vehemently against any medical misinformation which may put the lives of people or the effective running of governments and medical institutions in jeopardy, just like you tried doing above.

I do not have any apology for those who give out wrong information, and refuse to learn when corrected.

Nigerians like spreading rumours and conspiracy theories, and that should not be allowed to always progress.

KelvinCoaster:
This
your price is unbelievable!
Its suspicious too!!

That's one thing some people don't understand.
When, in a bid to out compete others, and you ridiculously lower the prices of your procedures/services, people will see it as suspicious and unreliable.

And that mat may not augur well for your business.
To out compete others, you upgrade the quality of your services, instead of crashing the prices.

dose

NOUN
1 A quantity of a medicine or drug taken or recommended to be taken at a particular time.

‘he took a dose of cough mixture’



https://www.lexico.com/definition/dose

PARTICULAR TIME = 5 DAYS

This guy, I don't know what's wrong with your ability to understand simple things.
I'm a medical doctor, and fully understand "dose" and "dosage" far better than you do.
Neither the article you posted nor Gilead pharmaceuticals mentioned about the word "dose".
That was introduced by you.
Gilead is to sell its drug at $2,340 for a 5day course(which is equivalent to 5 doses at one dose per day). Remdesivir, just like Azithromycin, is to be given for a period of 5days, and to be extended to 10days if needed.

What that means is that if you're ordering for it for each patient, you'll be given a 5day worth of the drug for $2340, which is an already subsidized rate.
The doctor giving the drug already knows what dose to give; and that's not what the article is talking about.

timid101:
@ChybuzzDD, what do you think?

Even if it's HIV, oral thrush can still be absent, if the HIV is at its early stage.
Oral thrush/candidiasis, as an opportunistic infection, appears when the disease is already advanced(stage3/4).

Let the guy pull himself together and go run a HIV test.

If it's negative, then he can proceed to other tests from there.

kecy19:
You better get something reasonable doing and stop the Peter and Paul thing.

Those investing here already have something doing, and may not even be using their ROI monthly.
That's why we don't want people like you who will manage to raise 360,000, and depend completely on the monthly 54,000 for their survival.
Such are the people who haunt for rumours and cause panics at the slightest opportunity.

What will it take you to run a HIV test and put a conclusion to all this confusion?

Even if it's not free, 1000 naira can do it.

Ladylite:
You do not have Covid19 in Jesus name....

He can still have it and recover, like many other people.
We shouldn't be turning prayers upside down in Nigeria.

What he's having are covid19 symptoms, and it's not a death sentence.

JKisOK:
Same to you.

A "dose" means drug administered per person and can last for as long as prescribed in the treatment.

You could not read to understand before you rushed to comment. If confused, you should have checked your dictionary or with a medical person.

Just shut up and understand the article.
As a shareholder with Gilead pharmaceuticals, I follow their news daily.
I first you saw and read about that news when it was released yesterday.
The $2340 is the total cost of a 5 day treatment for government sponsored patients,
and $3120 for private insurers, and not the cost per dose of the medication.
The drug will be given for a 5 day period at the above cost.
The stock price initially rose yesterday when people mistakenly thought it was per dose, but later crash when they realized it was the cost for a 5-day period, meaning the profits to be realized may not be that much.

And it's clearly stated in the news you posted. Or are you one of those with a penchant for distorting news to condemn governments and organisations??

Once people hear $2340 per dose now, they'll shout yes, that's why the US, Bill Gates, etc, invented covid-19 to make money.

kecy19:
When people like me stop investing, what then happens? Where would MBA Forex Investment gets the fund to pay, I know right now I am not the only one making this decision, so many people are but they are not talking... All the best to you. By September we will all know the outcome.

I thought you've already gone??
If any investor here didn't see that news in April when it was released, then, that person is very lazy and clueless, and doesn't deserve to be here.

Carry such a person to go with you.

I saw the news before investing 1million for my wife on the 19th of June.
So, you're not telling some of us any new thing.

kecy19:
With this news now I'm no longer interested.... I wish you all the very best.

Just go, bros, no nobody needs you here.

We don't want those who feed from hand to mouth coming here to spread panics.
High risk investments are mainly for those who are already relatively comfortable in life, but still want more.

Bye!

Anyone who did his/her research well must have come across this news before investing.

That's why I'm never in support of giving any answers to those lazy people coming here to ask random questions like " if I invest this amount, how much will i get".

Such people are usually the type easily moved by such old, meaningless news as above.

SEC can describe an organisation illegal from the point of registration with them; not necessarily that the organisation is stealing anyone's money.

For instance, if as a doctor, with all my qualifications, I open a hospital and fail to register with the ministry of health, my hospital will be described as illegal no matter how much life I save there daily.
These are simple things people who do their own research should easily understand.

JKisOK:
Since remdesivir became the first medicine shown to have an impact on Covid-19, doctors, politicians, and Wall Street investors have engaged in a tense guessing game: What would its maker, Gilead Sciences, charge for the drug?

Now there is an answer.

For all governments in the developed world, including the U.S. government’s Indian Health Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Gilead will charge $2,340 for a five-day course. U.S. insurers, in addition to Medicare and Medicaid, will pay 33% more, or $3,120. Countries in the developing world will get the drug at greatly reduced prices through generic manufacturers to which Gilead has licensed production.

“We spent a lot of time and considerable care and discussion about how to approach the pricing of this medicine,” Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day told STAT. “At this price it’s significantly below the value it brings to patients and to society. There is no doubt of that in my mind.” He also wrote an open letter explaining the company’s decision.

Remdesivir’s effectiveness against Covid-19 was established in a 1,063-patient study conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In results released in late April and later published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the drug reduced the median time it took a patient to recover from 15 days to 11 days with a 10 day course of treatment. The mortality rate in the remdesivir group was 7.1%, compared to 11.9% among those who received placebo, but the difference was not statistically significant. In another study in less sick patients, remdesivir led patients to improve more than placebo when it was given for five days, but not when it was given for 10.

Following the NIAID trial, in May, the Food and Drug Administration said it would allow emergency use of remdesivir to treat patients with Covid-19.

There will be room for outsiders to argue the price is too high — and too low. The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), a nonprofit which sets benchmarks for what it thinks are fair prices in the U.S., said that remdesivir would be cost-effective at as much as $5,080 per treatment course. But it also said that, given recent studies showing that dexamethasone, a cheap and ubiquitous steroid, could save lives among ventilated patients, a fair price might be as low as $2,520. That would mean that governments would be getting a good deal, but perhaps not private insurers in the U.S.

In another analysis as part of the same document, ICER said that if remdesivir does not save patients’ lives, the drug might be worth as little as $310. The group also said that, to recoup the manufacturers cost, the drug might need to cost anywhere from $10 to $1,600 per patient.

O’Day said Gilead believes that remdesivir’s value is much higher than any of those numbers, arguing that just by reducing the time patients spend in the hospital the drug would save $12,000 per patient.

“There’s no playbook for how to price a medicine in a pandemic,” O’Day said. “In normal circumstances, we’d have priced this medicine in accordance with value. But we’re not in normal circumstances. This is an extraordinary global situation.”

Peter Bach, director of the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, said he worries that the drug could actually lengthen some hospitalizations, because patients may not be discharged until they get a full course. And he said the data about the medicine may not support the price.

“This is entirely predictable,” said Bach. “They take the highest number anybody has floated, they cut down a bit from there, and they say now they’re the good guys.

“This is a drug that was shelved. This is a drug where the pivotal trial was funded by the U.S. government. And they did not go and run a trial that would have been definitive. But they’re happy to capitalize on it.”

The price, O’Day said, was determined by finding one that would be affordable to the developed country with the lowest purchasing power, and then setting a single price for all countries.

Why is the price for private insurers in the U.S. higher? Because, O’Day said, that is how the U.S. system works. “There are always two prices in the United States for a medicine,” he said.

The Department of Health and Human Services said that it has bought 500,000 courses of remdesivir for American hospitals, which are expected to last through September. This represents all the doses Gilead expects to produce in July, and 90% of those expected to be produced in August and September. After September, a more traditional commercial distribution system for the drug will be put in place.

Gilead expects that insurers and government programs, not patients, will shoulder most of the cost of the drug in the U.S. The company said government programs, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which supports uninsured patients, should support the drug’s affordability and that Gilead will provide additional assistance.

One group that may not be happy with Gilead’s decision: investors. In a series of notes to investors, SVB Leerink analyst Geoffrey Porges recommended buying Gilead shares and said that he believed annual sales of remdesivir could reach $6.7 billion next year. Porges assumed prices of $5,000 per course in the U.S., $4,000 per course in Europe, and $2,000 per course in other markets.

“I’ve never seen a disconnect between doing what’s right for patients and doing what’s right for investors,” O’Day said. “I believe that this is the right decision for patients and it’s the right decision for Gilead and it’s the right decision for investors.” But he said that, in his discussions with investors, many understood what he said is Gilead’s responsibility.

“Many investors I spoke to encouraged us to make sure we put patients first,” O’Day said. “And so that’s what we’ve done here.”

The company will be continuing to invest in new studies of remdesivir, which must be given intravenously. It is also working on a version that could be inhaled into the lungs, which will be priced separately. Gilead said it expects to spend $1 billion developing remdesivir by the end of this year.

$2340 per 5 day course, not per dose.
You couldn't even read and understand a post you made!

teekay2cool:
First of all, how do u know all these people are not willing to repay the loans?

Are you aware that the pandemic crippled so many lives to the point of no return?

Infact, lets stop using pandemic as an excuse...

As a loan company, having late repayments and defaulters is inevitable because human beings are not perfect. A good solution to that is to lower their credit score, that way they don't stand a chance of accessing higher loans or any loans from other companies in the near future as the case may be.

If all their clients are so criminal minded why do they go ahead and issue out loans in the first place?

Agreed, some people borrow money with the intent of not paying back, and there are people who borrow that are truly in dire need of money and have every intention of paying back. Why would you carry out gruesome punishments on the innocent?

If they must give out loans then people's bank statements and credit scores should be checked and some other assessments should be made. In cases of late repayments, call the person to learn the reason for that, extensions should be granted(Terms n Conditions applied of course) or auto debiting of accounts should be enabled for the exact amount that is being owed.

Sending embarrassing messages as means of loan recovery is never an option but a short-cut method for a lazy business.

If they should call anyone, it should be ur guarantors not sending humiliating text messages to random contacts on ur phone and forever damaging someone's reputation to potential business partners and friends, all because of money as little as 5k.

Sokoloan and 9credit are complete illegal organisations that are just out to dupe innocent people, they bought fake reviews on Google PlayStore just to mislead people into falling for their trap, you need to go to the critical part of the review section where u will see real people complaining about them. Complaints about them debiting their clients' accounts without reason.

Sokoloan's latest technique on desperate people who urgently need cash is forcing them to leave a positive review on their profile on Google PlayStore, claiming that by doing so they stand a better chance of getting their loans approved. As these people post their unintended "positive" reviews it gradually covers up the fake reviews they bought initially. Why go through all this unnecessary scheming if they are truly genuine in their affairs? Why not simply listen to your clients most frequent complaints about you and make corrections accordingly the way a professional business should operate?

Their interest rates are ridiculously high, they don't have standard phone numbers where u can call and make complaints, they never respond to emails. Their recovery agents can barely speak English and these organisations don't even have a physical office because they fear the wrath of their victims coming to seek vengeance.

The list of red flags on this fraudulent organisations is endless. If you look at it closely, they are not about providing service but rather out to take. As such, they should be taken down!!!

Globally, such recovery methods are not acceptable. Just recently in the Philippines, several loan companies where summoned to court for doing such. There is nothing right about it.

Other fintech companies like Carbon and Quickcheck don't resort to such embarrassing techniques yet people still rush them and they are very much in business because they have a more professional means of handling their affairs.

Sir, you should get ur facts straight before defending these scam loan companies.

Bros, after this long epistle, just go and pay them, if you're owing them.
Nigerians should stop giving excuses whenever it comes to repaying any money they lent.

In terms of cost or safety or both??

Canine investment? How about incisor, premolar and molar investments??
Every single day, you guys would stay in your poorly furnished and ventilated room to churn out one stupid "investment" or the other for people to invest in, with the ultimate aim of scamming them.
Into which economy are all these guaranteed "investments" going into?
Is it this same Nigerian economy that's already in the woods?
I think the absence of a national data base and ease of identification is encouraging crimes and making it possible for people to believe they can do anything and get away with it.

Where I live, with my Resident number linked to my address and every other thing concerning me, I dare not even harm an ant, let alone think of duping anyone.

If every Nigerian has a national identification number, and uses same to register in platforms like here in nairaland, this rampaging crime mentality will immediately die down.

Nigerians are like that.
They refer to have their medical conditions undiagnosed, and then rush to the hospitals when their conditions have become irredeemable, blaming the poor healthcare system for their mistakes.
Others chose to die with theirs undiagnosed, and blame their village people for witchcraft.

Cultural and religious beliefs are among the factors responsible for the ugly trend.

you are right but I have big knowledge about the business

Yea, but in this case, knowledge alone isn't enough.
You can't borrow an entire 55million to start off a new business.
A greater part of it should be contributed by you.

SA44LA44:
Always read extensively before doing any investment. I already knew about using the investors online banking to transfer money to MBA trading account. Or if you cant do online transfer you can go to the bank and pay and put your name as the depositor.

i hope you get this sorted out.

That's one of the problems associated with people coming online here to ask random questions instead of going through the thread to get the full details.
I think such people should always be referred to research through the thread to get all the information they need.
Answering such random questions when they've not done any research on their own don't help them in the long run.

XVIDEOSMOD:
Thanks bro, i am self isolating already

Cool.
Meanwhile, you're QUARANTINING, not ISOLATING.
Quarantine is for an exposed person who hasn't yet tested positive.
Isolation is for someone who has tested positive following exposure.

When you have been exposed, the next step should be to quarantine yourself and monitor for symptoms.
Once there's any symptom(s), you report for a test.
Going for a test immediately after exposure may be fruitless, unless you've had other exposures in the past.
The incubation period for covid-19 is about 14days.
