French President Emmanuel Macron apologised for his government 'not being prepared enough' for the coronavirus crisis as he extended lockdown until May 11 infront of 36.7 million.

He is a good leader !

According to report, the Police officers led by one Inspector Sunday Daniel rounded up Thompson and accused him of recording them, meanwhile Thompson's phone was down since last night due to power failure.

He quickly identified himself as a journalist, but they ignored his identification and started beating him up to a point that blood started running out from his nose.

The police no longer know the work of a journalist!

We eat anything eatable .

This us the time to leave a healthy life style.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
Make sure you wash them very well before you eat

IMASTEX:
Hmm

They want to bring in the 18 Chinese doctors for the political class.

To serve the president and his loyalist during this pandemic. They do not trust our doctors. They have always relied on foreign doctors.

You should know who they are bringing them for, at the moment. Do not ever think that they are coming for the people.
What difference can 18 doctors make in a population of over 200 million. It will not even go round, 1 doctor per state.

But according to the Daily Telegraph, it was discovered that key components ordered from Eurofins, a company based in Luxembourg, had been contaminated with Covid-19.

The heart of man is filled with so many illegalities!

Hmmmmm!

Her boyfriend/husband should be very careful. Lol!

Those ones should just close their borders.

This is unwise. I hope it doesn't affect Nairaland. The #ShutDownNigeria people don't have a very deep understanding of how an economy works. The vast majority of business activities in a developing country like Nigeria are essential. Very few people go to Lagos just for fun. Our leaders think that shutting things down is a viable alternative to massive testing and isolation of those who test positive, and sadly, we are cheering them on. There is no quick fix to the Coronavirus. There is no alternative to massive testing, isolation and contact tracing. We have to be smart.

Shutting down a country to stop a virus is like shooting a man dead to kill the sickness in his body. Does it work? Probably. But it's also unwise. I say instead of that, find a drug that targets the sickness in his body and kills it without killing the man. That's the only real solution to this issue.

There are only two countries whose efforts to beat the Coronavirus have been really successful. China and South Korea. I suggest that they are the only people that we should be listening to. They both encourage the widespread use of facemasks. They both do massive testing and isolation of infected people. China shut down part of their country but South Korea didn't do that despite having around 1,000 new cases per day at peak. They just continued to do every smart thing that could reduce the rate of transmission of the virus, and it worked and is working.

If you put a mask on every face, educate everybody about how to conduct their business without spreading the virus, and do massive testing of all people suspected to have the virus, and that doesn't work (it will), that's when you can start thinking of shutting things down. Our politicians won't even distribute face-masks to market women in Lagos who are begging them for it, or wear them, but they want to #ShutDownNigeria.

How will it affect Nairaland? Here is a short part of the answer to that:

Those clamouring for shutdown are those without businesses.
Maybe, they work for the government and are sure of getting salary every month.

They both do massive testing and isolation of infected people. China shut down part of their country but South Korea didn't do that despite having around 1,000 new cases per day at peak. They just continued to do every smart thing that could reduce the rate of transmission of the virus, and it worked and is working.

When the above does not work, that is when we can now think of #shutdown

Their jobs are red. Hence the high chances. Get well sir.

We wish them speedy recovery!

It is well with him!

Some people call it BigMan virus.
There are many poor people who have this virus, just the they do not have access to test kits.

The so called Big Men, don't they have workers and domestic staff?

May he recover fast !

The needful should be done, before things get out of hand!

Bosch’s new, fully automated rapid test for COVID-19 can help medical facilities such as doctors’ offices, hospitals, laboratories, and health centers make fast diagnoses.

The world really needs, it.

Ok

Keep the people safe !

The best thing , to do!

Every sane person should accept any positive measure, to curtail this virus.

IMASTEX:
Various types of fraud will continue to happen and even increase until there is a government in Nigeria who prioritises the general welfare of her citizen which will automatically lead to crime drop. Before then, victims of Cyber crime, religious fraud, etc will keep increasing.

Etc....

This virus just came to let us know that we are all humans.

Hope we have all learnt the lesson.

Do not rejoice when Mr. A has it, because, it can easily pass to Mr. B.

If you are not providing essential services, stay at home.

No death!

That is very good to hear.

Yes.

Those not providing essential services should stay at home!

That is very good of him!

When we stop having new cases everyday, then we have start winning.

Live a healthy life style!

Yes....
And she should be given a separate room to enable her self isolate.

Ah!

Make fuel scarcity nor join this one oooo!

IMASTEX:
