Is Trump's tweets your main problem right now?

is my comment you main problem right now?

The U.S. government raced to build hundreds of makeshift hospitals to ease the strain on overwhelmed healthcare systems as the United States marked 700 deaths in a single day from COVID-19 for the first time on Tuesday.

That is the equivalent of a person dying every two minutes.

Nearly half those deaths were in New York state, still the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio pleaded for reinforcements from the Trump administration, saying the worst may still be weeks away.

“This is the point at which we must be prepared for next week when we expect a huge increase in the number of cases. What I asked very clearly, last week, was for military medical personnel to be deployed here,” de Blasio said at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, where a field hospital was being built.

De Blasio, a Democrat, said he had asked the White House for an additional 1,000 nurses, 300 respiratory therapists and 150 doctors by April 5 but had yet to receive an answer from the Trump administration.

All told, more than 3,700 people have died from COVID-19 in the United States during the outbreak, more than the number who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The total confirmed U.S. cases rose to 184,000, up 21,000 from the day before.

White House medical experts have said between 100,000 to 200,000 people could ultimately die from the respiratory disease in the United States this year, despite orders in most major cities confining Americans to their homes except for the most necessary outings. More than 30 states have ordered people to stay at home to contain the virus, a move that has strangled the economy and left millions without a paycheck, at least temporarily.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was searching for hotels, dormitories, convention centers and large open spaces to build as many as 341 temporary hospitals, Lieutenant General Todd Semonite, the head of the corps, told the ABC News “Good Morning America” program.

In the same vein, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state also urged people of the state to remember the governor in their prayers. In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Dr.Abdul-Azeez Olatunde, APC said nothing happened without Almighty God’s permission.

He wasn't mocking them. He was only quoting what Oshiomole said. Oshiomole said the virus has entered their party (APC).

“They said we shouldn’t do a rally because of Coronavirus. But it’s their own leader that said Coronavirus is inside their party.... There’s no Coronavirus inside our own party.” — Seyi Makinde, PDP Rally in Ibadan, March 18, 2020.

Ttooyy12345:
This is what we get when the unwise is given opportunity to lead because they are rich. His chief press sec is still justifying their shameful act in yourview TVC rhis morning. Imagine he was saying one of d good thing about the rally was tht it was an avenue to educate the people of Oyo on covid19.

“They said we shouldn’t do a rally because of Coronavirus. But it’s their own leader that said Coronavirus is inside their party.... There’s no Coronavirus inside our own party.” — Seyi Makinde, PDP Rally in Ibadan, March 18, 2020.

FREEMADNESS:
he's supposed to b in charge of affairs dat concerns aso rock and Buhari personal issues.
besides chief of staff is by appointment not vote.
if ur claims are true then I see no reason y a person appointed would b more powerful than sum1 dat was voted in by d innocent masses.

Jayslicky:


Yes it is in the law but your idiotic president has not found out a way to make his citizens get money for survival during this harsh period.

CoolAmbience:
Oga, there is nothing unbecoming with what Soyinka said.

He is a Nigerian....an elite Nigerian at that. His position on the President's lockdown directive is obviously inquisitive and admonishing.

Soyinka simply called for caution and sensitivity to constitutionality in the issuance of directives as efforts are being made to contain the spread of the Corona virus epidemic.

Aren't we in a constitutional democracy anymore?

lexy2014:
When u say "it means", u are responding to an enquiry about d meaning of something. In d questions below, u weren't asked about d meaning of anything

How is d govt trying to protect Nigerians? How did d virus enter d country? What was d govts attitude towards ensuring d virus didn't enter Nigeria? Who is treating d people who have tested positive? Abba kyari was flown in an air ambulance to Lagos for special treatment. What is d fate of those who tested positive before he did? Why were d other abuja patients not airlifted to Lagos for treatment?

Pierced:
Is this really necessary?

U that's mocking the governor......think u are immune?

lexy2014:
I didn't ask u what anything means. Pls look at what u asked u:

How is d govt trying to protect Nigerians? How did d virus enter d country? What was d govts attitude towards ensuring d virus didn't enter Nigeria? Who is treating d people who have tested positive? Abba kyari was flown in an air ambulance to Lagos for special treatment. What is d fate of those who tested positive before he did? Why were d other abuja patients not airlifted to Lagos for treatment?

lexy2014:
That doesn't answer d following questions.

How is d govt trying to protect Nigerians? How did d virus enter d country? What was d govts attitude towards ensuring d virus didn't enter Nigeria? Who is treating d people who have tested positive?

Why were d other abuja patients not airlifted to Lagos for treatment?

So "simple English" still seems to be a challenge for u

lexy2014:
In what ways has d president done d following?:

"On 28 January 2020, the Federal government of Nigeria assured citizens of the country of its readiness to strengthen surveillance at five international airports in the country to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The government announced the airports as Enugu, Lagos, Rivers, Kano and the FCT.[4] The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control also announced same day that they had already set up coronavirus group and was ready to activate its incident system if any case emerged in Nigeria.[5]"

lexy2014:
If understanding simple English was d issue, I don't see how ur suggestion of doing my best for me& my family answers d following questions:



Let's see how much of d simple English u understand

Buhari signs COVID-19 regulations to enforce lockdown in Lagos, others

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has signed the COVID-19 Regulations 2020, declaring coronavirus a dangerous infectious disease.

In a statement on Monday night in Abuja, the Presidency said Buhari acted in exercise of the powers conferred on him by Sections 2, 3 and 4 of the Quarantine Act (CAP Q2 LFN 2004), and “all other powers enabling him in that behalf”.

The statement, which was signed by his spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, added, “The Regulations, effective March 30, 2020, also gave legal backing to the various measures outlined in the President’s National Broadcast on March 29, 2020, such as restriction/cessation of movement in Lagos, FCT and Ogun State and others toward containing the spread of the pandemic in the country.

How did d virus enter d country in d first place? How are those who have tested positive being taken care of? Why is kyari being flown to Lagos for special treatment while others who tested positive in abuja are left behind?

masterP042:
I won't lie. This lockdown can't even be sustainable for 5 days. We like copying oyibo but can't even do it well.
How can u lock down a place so big without providing social welfare for the people. What about people that survive on daily earnings? The other countries that lock down, provide food, money and other benefits for their people, but mumu leaders will just want to lock people up just like that.
From day 5, people will start running out from their houses, it's better the "audio" corona virus kills them than hunger to kill them.
Buhari had the time and opportunity to just quarantine and isolate just few travellers coming in, but he didn't, now he wants to lockdown over 30million people. Medicine after death

orisa37:
Please be reasonable.

We want clear answers. We are not in a war emergency.
