There are so many misconceptions out there about the Coronavirus donations. I think, It is important to know that the Federal Government is not directly in charge of the funds according to my findings.

The billions donated so far by individuals and private sector is been handled by the Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) headed by Aliko Dangote.

CACOVID is a joint effort of the private sector leaders to support ongoing Government initiatives in the fight against Coronavirus and it’s core objectives involves the creation of testing, isolation and treatment centers nationwide.

...and they’re doing a wonderful job with the funds so far.

CACOVID is setting up top-notch isolation centers across the nation to help curb the spread of COVID-19.

The videos below are the facilities completed so far in Port-Harcourt and Kano with the aim of setting up similar Centres in all the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT.

By Angula ’Bishop’ Reuben (Microbiologist)

Pandemic is managed in three stages
Step 1: is to CONTAIN
Step 2: is to DELEY
Step 3: is to MITIGATE

STAGE 1: CONTAINMENT
Containment here means trying to reduce or minimize the number of people that are going to be infected with the outbreak.

That can be done through:
i. CONTACT TRACING: example, if Mr. A is confirmed positive, this method will help in finding out where, when and who gets in contact with Mr. A and who gets sick or shows symptoms because of Mr. A.

ii. TESTING: If you come in contact with a suspected case or a confirmed case then you should get tested. Lots and lots of testing will help to contain the outbreak within a short period of time.

Extensive contact tracing and continuous testing can help to isolate, quarantine and support to heal without others becoming infected.

Examples of countries that have done exceptionally well at this stage are South Korea, China, Malaysia, Nigeria, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Examples of countries that have failed woefully at this stage include Italy, USA, France and UK.

STAGE 2: DELAY
Slowing down the outbreak is key. This is where “flattening of the curve” comes in. This simply means the idea of slowing down the spread of the virus so that fewer people are infected until a vaccine is discovered.

We can delay the COVID-19 through:
i. SOCIAL DISTANCING: People should stay away from each other at least 6 feet without handshaking, hugging, kissing or sex.

ii. REDUCED GATHERING: No gathering of more than one should be allowed. Not that people will not get infected but this is done to reduce the number of cases until a vaccine is discovered.

iii. SELF-ISOLATION: this means staying indoors and completely avoiding contact with other people. This is done to stop the outbreak from spreading especially when you show symptoms.

The more we practice self-isolation, reduced gathering and social distancing, the longer it will take for more people to get infected.

STAGE 3: MITIGATION
This is where to start managing people who have become sick or infected. Here we will find out the ways in which the disease can be managed.

STAGES/SEVERITY OF THE DISEASE

There are three stages according to World Health Organization (WHO);

i. MILD CASES: 81% of the patients belong to this group.

They show symptoms like
fever 98%
Dry cough 78%
Tiredness
Some have aches and pains
Nasal congestion
Runny nose
Sore throat or diarrhea

Medical facilities or resources are really not needed at the mild stage other than you calling your doctor to report and discuss symptoms.

But please note that these symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell.

Most of these people here can be managed by isolation, containment or quarantine while your doctor treat and take care of the symptoms (E.g prescribe drugs for the fever and cough. Take Vitamins C & D supplements, drink a lot of water and eat healthy).

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS;
Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.

ii. SERIOUS/SEVERE CASES: 14% of the patients belong to this group.

These are the people that develop shortness of breath.

This is serious because shortness of breath here means there is a damage going on in the respiratory system and this is an indication that the disease is progressing. It is also an indication that the patient needs serious medical attention otherwise there would be damage to your system and this may be life threatening.

Please remember that shortness of breath can also occur as a result of anxiety, panic and fear because we are breathing fast and washing out more carbon dioxide than we are taking in. It has many other reasons but in this period of COVID-19, please consult your doctor once you experience shortness of breath.

According to WHO, “around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing.”

PEOPLE WHO ARE AT HIGHER RISK
Older people, immunocompromised patients and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness.

iii. CRITICAL CASES: 5% of the patients belong to this group.

They are going to need;
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome management facilities,
Multiple Organ Failure management facilities,
and Septic Shock management facilities

This is where many countries including Nigeria are having challenges. The truth is; no country in the world was prepared for this outbreak, it came as a surprise.

The patients with critical cases need to be on full admission in the Intensive Care Unit for either non invasive ventilation, resuscitation or invasive mechanical ventilation depending on the severity of the case.

#Hypocrisy!

#Atiku spent 47 billion Naira to bribe 3221 delegates to get the PDP Presidential ticket in 2018 but donate only N50 million to over 200 million Nigerians.

This is an insult to us all.

“Undeserved” is not the same as “underserved”.

You are the one confused here.

Buhari govt, most wicked in Nigeria’s history- Pastor Oyedepo

Me: I agree with you completely man of God, just to add Amen. In fact, I am even more angry that the wickedness is on going in all the geopolitical zones
���

Wickedness No. 1
Expansion/dualization of Keffi-Akwanga-Lafia-Makurdi Expressway

Wickedness No. 2
Lagos-Sagamu-Ibadan Expressway

Wickedness No. 3
Second Niger Bridge (3 secondary Bridges, the main Bridge, Toll Station and connecting roads)

Wickedness No. 4
Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Expressway

Wickedness No. 5
Bonny-Bodo Road + Bridges completed after 50 years.

Wickedness No. 6
Enugu-Port-Harcourt Expressway

Wickedness No. 7
Rehabilitation of Kano-Jigawa-Maiduguri expressway ( Roads + Bridges)

Wickedness No. 8
Apapa-Oshodi-Oworonshoki Road

The most evil and painful thing about all the projects mentioned above is that; they have been moved from the yearly budgetary allocation to PIDF/E07. What that means is that, all the “wicked” projects above won’t lack funds at any point in time until completed.

The “wickedness” wey the pain me pass na N-Power, Labour Minimum Wage and NYSC allowance increment from N19,800 to N33,000. How can Buhari be paying all these small small children N33,000? For what?

How can one man be this wicked to his own country? In fact we are sending President Muhammadu Buhari back to Daura come 2023 whether he likes it or not.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Great

Atiku responded to a twitter user @BishBerry who enquired to know his reaction about a Senator molesting salesgirls in a toy shop in Abuja.

He asked and I quote: “What’s your reaction about this disgraceful conduct of your boy sir?”

@atiku @OfficialPDPNig @UcheSecondus

In response to the question above, Atiku said

“I’ve seen the alleged assault video involving Sen. Elisha Abbo. The video is sad, inexcusable. I know the Senator quite well. But the law is clear and leaders must lead by example.

I advise him to publicly apologize, voluntarily go to the police and show a good example expected of a young leader. I also call on our party, the @OfficialPDPNig to take necessary disciplinary action and the @PoliceNG to ensure the law takes its full course. -AA”
