SadiqBabaSani: The Statement was nt misrepresented by FFK, wats rhe difference btwn U re mad, adn are u mad
While one is an assertion, a conclusion, an attempt at ridicule, and a forceful diagnosis on a person's mental state without even a medical license; the other is a question which can be answered.
Seun: I read an article that said Russia has seen a massive spike in “flu” cases and deaths. They are under-reporting theIr Coronavirus situation. Brazil is warm but not hot right now. Weather forecast for today in their capital is 16°C and 26°C in their capital.
I’m not saying that a hot country cannot be ravaged by the Coronavirus; hot countries have a natural advantage, which can be exploited or wasted.
A Christian will never be governor in Kwara. Maybe some other States. Not even in the far future. We Ilorin people believe we are the most Islamic on Earth, even more Islamic than Saudi. The Prophet's great grandson comes to Ilorin regularly because of his regards for Ilorin. Our Ilorin is far from hell and very close to Paradise.
lmao... E say na "far from hell and very close to paradise"... That nonsense place? Hahahahahaha. The things I see on nairaland eh.
With same figures, the numbers still don't correlate. The trend is exceptional from what's happening in all other countries whose figure shows transmission is occuring and spikes happening every week towards peak and decline afterwards.
The figures does not follow trend. It does not even show the virus is in Nigeria except they claim to have a cure
Seun: Effect Of Temperature On COVID-19: An Unscientific Investigation.
In the early days of the Coronavirus scourge, many Nigerians believed that we wouldn't be affected because of our hot weather. Now that we're testing people, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases, to about 210, which is still quite low for a country with 190 million residents. However many people suspect that the virus has penetrated our society far more deeply than the NCDC statistics suggest. We've noticed that people who travelled to colder countries recently or spend most of their time in air-conditioned spaces, or their direct contacts, are massively over-represented among the confirmed cases. Is this because they are the only ones being tested, or is heat a factor?
Here is the list of the 10 countries that have the highest number of active COVID-19 cases, and their forecasted temperatures for the day: * USA has 257,790 active cases. The temperature forecast for New York is 8°C - 15°C. * Italy has 85,388 active cases. The temperature forecast for Rome is 7°C - 25°C. * Spain has 77,488 active cases. The temperature forecast for Madrid is 6°C - 19°C * Germany has 65,309 active cases. The temperature forecast for Berlin is 1°C - 12°C * France has 61,650 active cases. The temperature forecast for Paris is 6°C - 17°C * UK has 34,428 active cases. The temperature forecast for London is 4°C - 16°C * Iran has 31,954 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tehran is 8°C - 19°C * Turkey has 20,012 active cases. The temperature forecast for Istanbul is 8°C - 11°C * Switzerland has 14,169 active cases. The temperature forecast for Geneva is 3°C - 17°C * Netherlands has 13,986 active cases. The temperature forecast for Amsterdam is 4°C - 14°C
On average, the top ten countries with Coronavirus have a temperature forecast of 5.5 - 16.5°C. The temperature forecast for Lagos is 26°C - 34°C, and for Abuja, it's 24°C - 36°C. This is a massive, massive difference! The maximum temperature of nine of the countries above is lower than the minimum temperature of Lagos. The maximum temperature of 7 of those countries is lower than the minimum thermostat setting of most Nigerian air-conditioners (18°C).
The countries mentioned above are in Africa, Asia or Europe. What about Africa? Here's our top 5: * South Africa has 1,401 active cases. The temperature forecast for Johannesburg is 9°C - 15°C. * Algeria has 1,004 active cases. The temperature forecast for Algiers is 9°C - 17°C. * Egypt has 703 active cases. The temperature forecast for Cairo is 24°C - 34°C.1 * Tunisia has 472 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tunis is 8°C - 17°C. * Burkina Faso has 236 active cases. The temperature forecast for Ouagadougou is 28°C - 43°C. 1 1 The Egypt data is misleading because the their average temperature last month was 11.6°C to 26°C, but Burkina Faso is a legitimate outlier; the country is much hotter than Nigeria.
The above data, in spite of the outlier, is enough to convince me that the Coronavirus likes cold weather and probably spreads faster in cold places, such as air-conditioned cars, offices, and homes. This, apart from the lack of testing, may explain why we are yet to see as many cases of transmission outside the circles of travellers and the rich and powerful in Nigeria as expected. It is consistent with what we know about other respiratory illnesses, and why countries like the US expect the disease to slow down in their summer season (starting from June).
When I see videos of Lagos officials spraying open areas e.g. roads & sidewalks in Lagos, I have to laugh, because I strongly suspect that, if they actually bothered to test for the presence of the virus on those surfaces, they'd find nothing at all because the sun already sterilized them.
Knowing that the virus hates our hot temperature gives me hope. If a cold country like South Korea (0°C -13°C forecast for today) could beat the virus without destroying their economy by imposing a total lockdown, a constantly hot country like Nigeria could do much better if we used the same tactics. We need to start testing people who have had close contact with confirmed cases before they show symptoms. We also need to enforce universal wearing of face-masks and social distancing everywhere, which in itself may even be sufficient to end the virus.
May your days be bright and hot. May your air-conditioners be off and your windows wide open (to get rid of aerosolized droplets). Cheers.
PS: I always make a lot of mistakes when I post long articles, so if you spot any errors, omissions, or false statements, please correct me.
Brazil is way hotter than Russia. Brazil has 22.3K cases (20.8K active), and Russia has 15.7K cases (14.3K active)... What's strategy is Russia using?
Whatever you like to call it, gather this same energy and go there. Then come back and give reports. Or stop spewing your ignorance everywhere. It's disgusting.
Nwodosis: In some states, their Governors volunteered to test positive in absence of none positive case in their states to partake in the Federal Government Covid-19 funds. I sense audio positive cases in that figure especially with the speed that some of the elites turn negatives later without stepping a foot on any of designated isolation centers for treatments or proper observations!
Please if you have not been to an active isolation centre to verify this "audio nonsense" you keep posting, just drink cold water and keep quiet. #StaySafe #TakeResponsibility #PracticeSocialDistancing
Precious4real50: President buhari should extend the lockdown in Lagos, abuja and Ogun States to one more week and during this lockdown Mr President should give an order to shoot anybody that disobeyed the lockdown order.We can't continue to have people endanger millions of life by disobeying the lockdown,Nigerians only listen to one thing which is force and is time the government start using it.shoot hundreds to save millions.
This one is just (desperately) looking for attention.
CHESTER48: lol. No matter what you, do not everyone will like your content since you dont. Jump and pass. Maybe you can write a storyline for me. If you can even write at all
Lmao. This is hilarious. Next time you feel you may not like someone's comment about your content, please "jump and pass". And if you want to beg for a story, please do it professionally. Stop trying to sound savage. Bye bye jare...
Take criticism. Don't be comfortable with mediocrity... The story line is below par, continuity is non-existent. Y'all just throw graphic content around for no reason.
fulaniHERDSman: Dem use U dey pass time. Once whistle blow dem go re-start 2nd half. My guy, approach the game with TIP TAP FROM BOTH SIDES WITH OCCASIONAL TEAR AWAY. ATTACK TOO CONSTANTLY FROM FLANKS, BUT DON'T FORGET TO FIRE FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX. DO I HAVE TO REMIND U TO MAINTAIN DEFENSIVE SOLIDITY, WHILE ENSURING VERSATILITY IN MID FIELD.
Wetin this one just yarn now? Abi na lack of EPL cause am?
Most of the people who rated Messi above Ronaldo, only played with Ronaldo when he was in Manchester United... Why not put a picture of CR7 in a ManUtd Jersey so we'd understand that you are comparing a player of over 10 years ago with a player at present.
mayprince: Check out people who have contributed monetarily to fight Coronavirus in Nigeria.
#COVID19 #CoronaVirusInNigeria #OvercomeCOVID19
With the number of CONVID-19 cases in Nigeria risen to 51 according to @NCDCgov, some wealthy people here in Nigeria are helping with efforts to combat the outbreak and do what they can for the economy. The list and how they have contributed to fight the outbreak goes thus:
1. Jack Ma- @JackMa is a Chinese business magnate, investor and politician. He is the co founder and former executive chairman of Alibaba Group, a multinational technology conglomerate.
He donated medical supplies which include 5.4 mill face masks, 1.08 mill detection tests, 40,000 sets of protective clothing and 60,000 sets of protective face shields. Right now the medical supplies that was moved from Lagos to Abuja generated lots of reactions from its citizen.
2. Runtown- Douglas Jack Agu, better known by his stage name @iRuntown, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer.
In a bid to ensure everyone is staying safe in this tough times, @iRuntown via his Twitter handle gave out 10 million naira to about 500 people yesterday. The joy in those who got the giveaways has no bound as they continually call on other people to show how genuine this is.
3. Shehu sanni- @ShehuSani is a Nigerian senator, an author, playwright and a human rights activist.
Senator shehu sanni has distributed protective items and foodstuffs to churches, mosques and correctional centers.
4. Atiku Abubakar- @atiku GCON is a Nigerian politician, businessman, philanthropist and presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party at the 2019 Nigerian general election.
@Atiku Abubakar has donated N50million as relief fund to support the Federal Government’s battle against the coronavirus pandemic in the country. He made this known in a press statement on March 25, 2020.
5. Aliko Dangote- @AlikoDangote GCON is a Nigerian business magnate and philanthropist who is the founder and chairman of Dangote Group, the largest industrial conglomerate in Africa.
The @AlikoDangote Foundation on March 2, 2020 pledged a whooping sum of N200million to support current effort of the Nigerian government towards curbing the spread of Corona Virus in the country.
Is there any person I have missed?, feel free to add yours.
Edited: Pastor Enenche, Dunamis Church Donated Medical Equipment, materials.
Point of Correction... All the medical supplies donate by Jack Ma, is meant for the Entire African Continent. Murtala Mohammed International Airport was just the first landing point.
In South Korea there were only 30 cases of the coronavirus with no outbreaks until case 31 decided to go to church and ended up spreading to virus to over 1000 new cases.
So you see no one has right to believe what they want when it will duplicate the same level of stupidity and put the lives of thousands at risk.
The plain truth is that religion is harmful to us especially in situations like this but unfortunately many are too delusional to realise it
The church did not spread the virus in South Korea, Patient 31 did. She went to several other places including church. And is responsible for over 5K cases... You claim to be not stupid, why couldn't you deduce that in the first place? If someone wants to place their hope and faith in someone in the sky or the ocean or the earth, it's their business... You should use your head, and stop acting immature because you have a faceless forum where you can wage e-wars singlehandedly.
Nanatrendy: that 25 is from new arrivals who were quarantined and tested it's actually good they weren't allowed to mix with the general public, of late once you arrive in Ghana you are quarantine for 14days and tested before being released to go home
Which is splendid! Something we should've enforced here.
So it took these guys so long before they could send corpers home? Why the insensitivity? Or did they simply forget that they had people all over the country serving their fatherland?
Lol, they are not worried about their colleagues, they are just worried some of their colleagues might infect them since they don't even know who don carry am. All man for himself, make dey sha fly dem out as usual when dey catch am as our hospital here are not good enough for them
This is what happened when lawmakers don't read (or CAN'T read). They don't know that they're already doomed if ONE person carries it. They think it's just cough.
One patient has the ability to infect a whole plane. 35 senators/reps returned from the UK on 14 March and have been sitting comfortably with the others till today... Our National Assembly is in trouble. BIG TROUBLE!
aminu114: i have been coughing for good 3days im in abj where can i get tested? last week someone cough to my face
See this one. You think this is something to play with? If you're suspecting that you have the virus, why don't you spare your neighbours the headache and contact the NCDC help lines that have been thrust at your face every day? Why be a nuisance?
Yenefer: Ridiculous. 80% of people reading this are grifters or card sharpers, all they need is computer and internet, and they want Lagos or Nigeria to be shut down., And the Globalists are punishing the world to show us how much we need them. I have noticed that if you have money you get medical care and drugs that help you recover but every day people don’t get it Of course not! The media would not have taken this "campfire" and fanned it into a major "forest fire." And you and many others are too ignorant of the truth that you believe them! They want chaos and anarcky; they want to take over using fear. They don't want chaos, the media would have stayed mum about this, trying to protect the stock market, 80000 people would have died, and we would have went on with our lives. You know, like when world got hit with H1N1. Actually I believe that. Globalists are punishing the world to show us how much we need them. Just like every other flu we have known throughout the history of mankind. Should you not shake hands? Of course, Should you wash your hands regularly? Always. Should you stay home if you are sick? Certainly.
This one is on every thread these days, making noise.
