Olodo24:
This is a question that's been bothering me.

They say covid-19 has no cure, so how come the victims are recovering from it?



what are they giving them while on isolation?

I may be ignorant of how this medical system works, so I'd like to be educated by experts on this platform. Brief me

COVID-19: President Buhari Dispel Rumors of #WhereIsBuhari; Approves 10bn Grant To Lagos State (Read Full Speech)

https://i1.wp.com/news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/president-muhammadu-buhari-meets-with-nigerians-in-diaspora1810777337..jpg?w=625&ssl=1

Over the last few days I have received extensive briefings on the state of the nation as it relates to the Covid-19 pandemic, from the relevant Federal Government agencies as well as the Lagos State Government.

Accordingly, I approved the following:

The immediate release of a 10 billion Naira grant to Lagos State, which remains the epicentre of the Covid-19 outbreak in Nigeria. This grant will enable Lagos increase its capacity to control and contain the outbreak, while also supporting other States with capacity-building.

The immediate release of a 5 billion Naira special intervention fund to the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) to equip, expand and provide personnel to its facilities and laboratories across the country.

The Nigerian Air Force is already making its fleet available to the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, to enable a better coordinated and more effective response across the country.

To protect our homeland from external exposure, I directed the immediate closure of our International Airports and Land Borders for four weeks in the first instance, to enable us put up the appropriate policies, processes and infrastructure to cope with suspected and confirmed cases at home, without risking a compounding of the situation with more imported cases.

The inconvenience caused by these flight and travel restrictions to our fellow citizens abroad who want to return home is regrettable, but it is necessary for the greater good, and I thank you all for your understanding and cooperation.

I have also directed that only cargo vessels that have been at sea for more than 14 days be allowed to dock in our ports, after the crew have been tested and confirmed disease-free by the Port Health Authorities.

This 14-day restriction however does not apply to vessels carrying oil and gas products as by their nature, there is minimal human contact.

We have also suspended the movement of commuter trains to limit the spread of the virus to other parts of the country.

I have directed the NCDC to draft all its recent retirees back into service to beef up our manpower as we respond to the pandemic.

Furthermore, all NCDC staff and experts who are away on training or international assignments are to return immediately.

Already the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) are conducting an evacuation mission to bring back some of our specialists in Central Africa, to enable them support the national response.

We are also looking at fiscal measures to minimise the negative impact of this pandemic on the livelihood of millions of Nigerians.

As you are aware we have begun the process of reviewing the federal budget. We shall communicate our fiscal interventions once the budget review process is concluded.

In the meantime, I have directed the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, to work with the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), to ensure that all production of essential items such as food, medical and pharmaceutical products continues unhindered.

We are engaging our international friends and partners to share knowledge and to seek their support in our response to the pandemic. We are grateful for the show of support thus far – we have already started receiving goods and supplies intended to help us scale up our efforts.

Let me specially thank and commend all of the hard and heroic work being done by our medical personnel, the NCDC, Port Health Authorities, Security Agencies, State Governments, and all ad-hoc staff and volunteers.

I urge all Nigerians to be mindful of those among us who seek to spread panic and misinformation, and sow confusion at this time.

We must all pay attention only to the relevant government agencies working day and night to make accurate and useful information available to the public.

I will also ask all of us to strictly obey all public health guidelines and instructions issued by the Federal and State health authorities, regarding personal hygiene and social distancing.

These guidelines will be updated from time to time as new information and treatments are obtained.

In the meantime, I want to assure all Nigerians, that the Federal Government remains committed to protecting all Nigerians. We seek your full support and cooperation as we go through this very difficult time. Together we will triumph over this pandemic.

What we have in Nigeria are audio coronavirus, someone with headache, malaria,fever, typhoid will be claiming Corona.

Ladies and gentlemen,men and women, people of Nigeria coronavirus in Nigeria is a scam and has no place in the typical African man body system.

odutolasodiq:
I am thinking we should come together as a group of volunteers, and approach a government or non-government organization to provide us with PPE, fumigating materials and sanitizers, we then start with disinfecting a designated locations especially handrail on pedestrian bridges and walkways.

A makeshift Isolation Centre is presently being constructed in onikan stadium, Lagos state. It is believed that when completed, it would accommodate 1000 bed spaces.

Kudos to Lagos state government and other sponsors for this great feat.

LadyGA:
Finally the tables have turned,no more racist...blacks are been applauded...how things change

CanadaOrBust:
Ok, it is established fact that AT MOST we’d lose less than 2% of those who get it (though currently it is 0% for Nigerians permanently living in Nigeria!)
How many people do u think will die if there is mass starvation plus all the social ills that’d come with closing down everything?
If u calm down and look at it UNEMOTIONALLY you’d see the sense in what I’m saying.

craigkoel1989:
I have been doing some research into how to treat this Coronavirus and while doing research and while researching I stumbled into how Coronavirus is spread and i discovered that Coronavirus is classified as norovirus which is spread by contact with droplet and according to my research Coronavirus is similar to norovirus which can stay in surface for many days
I digged deeper and discovered that activated charcoal helps to treat norovirus and it was discovered that an woman who took activated charcoal recovered from norovirus and was symptom free in 24 hours
Activated charcoal if taken enough can prevent viral infection and prevent the spread of the virus
I am not saying this is the cure but at least we should try all possible alternative as it is better than known
Let us allow more research to be done on it in the upcoming days if it is viable
and remember where that was seen was seen first on nairaland
Evidence to back up my claim are attached underneath
Stay safe as we look to find the solution to this ravaging virus and if possible pushed to front page

CanadaOrBust:
Since 98% are guaranteed to survive this virus anyway (maybe 99.9% in Naija) and 80% are asymptomatic or never get that sick, it may not be a bad idea if we stopped all these closings, maintain moderate social isolation, continue washing our hands and wearing masks, isolate those who are discovered to have it or come in contact with those who have it, protect the elderly and the vulnerable, and treat those who are treatable like we do with other diseases. I mean, we never closed schools and churches for other diseases, no matter how infectious!

GBTYO:
Let me reply you on this...

I said the solution can prevent the virus in taking root in your upper respiratory system where it incubates and spreads to your lungs where it does maximum damage.

The therapy is meant as a simple preventive measure to stop the virus from spreading from your sleazy mouth to your lungs.

Or why do you think you were advised to wear face masks or constant washing of your hands.

GBTYO:
[s][/s]

The point of action is your sleazy mouth where the alkaline solution neutralizes the virus preventing its spread to your lower respiratory system (lungs)

As a simple mouth wash, it can severely reduce the viral load .

Use sense!

Nigeria has less than 50 ventilators to serve all her citizens. UK government ordered 700,000 to be produced as no country was willing to sell

America is also producing.

What will Nigeria do?

Why are ventilators used?
To get oxygen into the lungs and body
To help the body get rid of carbon dioxide through the lungs
To ease the work of breathing—Some people can breathe on their own, but it is very hard. They feel short of breath and uncomfortable.
To breathe for a person who is not breathing because of injury to the nervous system, like the brain or spinal cord, or who has very weak muscles.

How does a ventilator work?
The ventilator is connected to the person through a tube (endotracheal or ET tube) that is placed into the mouth or nose and down into the windpipe. When the health care provider places the ET tube into the person’s windpipe, it is called an intubation. Some people go through surgery to have a hole place in their neck and a tube (tracheostomy or “trach” tube) is connected through that hole. The trach tube is able to stay in as long as needed. At times a person can talk with a trach tube in place by using a special adapter called a speaking valve. (For more information on having a tracheostomy.
The ventilator blows gas (air plus oxygen as needed) into a person’s lungs. It can help a person by doing all of the breathing or just assisting the person’s breathing. The ventilator can deliver higher levels of oxygen than delivered by a mask or other devices. The ventilator can also provide what is called positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). This helps to hold the lungs open so that the air sacs do not collapse. The tube in the windpipe also makes it easier to remove mucus if someone has a weak cough.
How are patients on ventilators monitored?
Anyone on a ventilator in an ICU setting will be hooked up to a monitor that measures heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation (“02 sats”). Other tests that may be done include chest-x-rays and blood drawn to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide (“blood gases”). Members of the health care team (including doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists) will use this information to assess the patient’s status and make adjustments to the ventilator if necessary.
How long is a ventilator used?
A ventilator can be life saving, but its use also has risks. It also doesn’t fix the problem that led to the person needing the ventilator in the first place; it just helps support a person until other treatments become effective, or the person gets better on their own. The health care team always tries to help a person get off the ventilator at the earliest possible time. “Weaning” refers to the process of getting the patient off the ventilator. Some patients may be on a ventilator for only a few hours or days, while others may require the ventilator for longer. How long you may need to be on a ventilator depends on many factors. These can include your overall strength, how well your lungs were before going on the ventilator, and how many other organs are affected (like your brain, heart and kidneys). Some people never improve enough to be taken off the ventilator completely or at all.
How does a patient feel while on a ventilator?
The ventilator itself does not cause pain. Some people don’t like the feeling of having the tube in their mouth or nose. They cannot talk because the tube passes between the vocal cords into the windpipe. They also cannot eat by mouth when this tube is in place. A person may feel uncomfortable as air is pushed into their lungs. Sometimes a person will try to breathe out when the ventilator is trying to push air in. This is working (or fighting) against the ventilator and makes it harder for the ventilator to help.
People on ventilators may be given medicines (sedatives or pain controllers) to make them feel more comfortable. These medicines may also make them sleepy. Sometimes, medications that temporarily prevent muscle movement (neuromuscular blocking agents) are used to allow a person to breathe with the ventilator. These agents are typically used when a person has very severe lung injury; they are stopped as soon as possible and always before ventilator support is removed.

Bros, if you check well, some of those 50 are no longer functional, while some will have some of their vital components missing. The maintenance culture in Nigeria is awful!

Then, for the few remaining functional ones, there won't be reliable electricity to run them. An ICU cannot function without electricity.
Nigeria is a terrible place.

GenBuhari:
I am one of them. I don't believe the virus exists. The white racist nation pushing this hype and propaganda, I suspect are targeting Africa in general and Nigeria in particular for the real release of biological weapon that may possibly poison and kill millions.
By which time they would have sealed off Nigerian from leaving to travelling out.
The racist behind this possible genocidal agenda could then use the fact that they got the "virus" before Africa to deny responsibility.

UnknownT:
Ebola is/was deadlier than this COVID-19. It has a high mortality rate and even a dead infected person can still spread it. If the world could contain Ebola that started from a poor developing country, why couldn't it contain one that started from a developed country? If China had taken this serious when it started, it wouldn't have got to this.
