The Lagos government on Friday said it expects to see up to 39,000 cases of COVID-19 in the state.


The Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, disclosed this at a Press briefing at the Ministry of Health in Alausa.

Abayomi said, “Our mathematical modelling shows that the worst-case scenario is that we may see up to 39,000 cases in Lagos.”

He, however, said if everyone practices good social distancing, the figure will be limited to 13,000.

“If we add social distancing to active contact tracing, then we will be able to bend the curve further,” he said.

Abayomi said the figures were small as compared to outbreaks around the globe

“The figures may seem alarming at this point, but this is just to emphasize to the Lagos community to follow instructions of the incident commander to make sure that we practice social distancing and other preventive measures.

“Looking at the same time frame from the introduction of the index case, you can see that Lagos State is not seen anywhere near what Spain, Italy and Iran are showing.

“So, at weeks two and three of our index case, we are flat and at week four, we have 37 cases; while at the same fourth week, Italy, Iran and Spain had more than 20,000 cases.

“So, we are doing something right in the state,” Abayomi added.

Na person wey get money to buy food Dey do lockdown, because it works in Europe (except the UK) doesn't mean it will work here...

For them to find the cure, they will not to appease the gods... With at least ten fair skin girls

Those identified states should be on lockdown by now.. LAGOS AND ABUJA especially

To be honest I feel really bad Buhari tested Negative

Uyi168:
..
And we were told some people can have the virus without showing signs...

Yes , it's called asymptotic

Koginaija:
It's never going to work,I just pray we don't get to that extent.. It's good if we abide by the law of the land and keep our environment clean.

Because I keep wondering how a market woman will survive a lockdown of almost 30-days, but then I remember it's Nigeria , we always find our way out, but then this Covid-19 seems totally different

seunmohmoh:
So, the asteroids have passed. Wow

One is scheduled to pass on April 29the, almost tge size of Mt Everest according to NASA

Since it seems one of the most effective way of containing the spread of Corona virus is to place the nation on a total lockdown as evidence by how far China have come....

Most badly hit European countries have also adopted the lockdown, countries like Italy, Spain, France and of recent United Kingdom...

Are we looking like a likely case of a lockdown here in Nigeria, is it realistically going to be possible, because it means, all markets, clubs, hotels, pubs, restaurant, event centres would be shut down, and many people would surely have to lose their jobs....

I sincerely hope it doesn't get that worse for us, we cam prevent that by doing the following

*Wash your hands frequently
*Avoid social gathering of a large crowd
*Social distancing
*Use of hand sanitizer

bunto:
I have been following the Coronavirus PANDEMIC in the news for 3 months and I used to think we Nigerians might be "immune" but I have now become worried for Nigerians.

These are the reasons.

1. We are still using public transport where people are packed so closely together.

2. Pharmacies and supermarkets have jacked up the prices of hand sanitizer and nose masks. These are the two things that could seriously help in mitigating against the acute spread of this Covid- 19 Virus immediately.

A pharmacy in my neighborhood, is selling a small medical face mask for N200 and selling the cuplike ones for N1000.

Many supermarkets and pharmacies are selling hand sanitizers at ridiculous prices. Is this the time to profit from this?

Why are we Nigerians like this?

Is there a helpline we can call to report these Shylocks?

We are supposed to all be in this together.

Please share your experiences.
Thank you.

Maybe you need to check Twitter and see the price hike isn't happening only in Nigeria, meaning it's not only a Nigeria thing, Prices of those items have sky rocketed in almost all countries where they have recorded cases of Covid-19

You guys saying Nigeria this, Nigeria that, It's not happening only here, I mean the Stigmatization , there was a video online, of some white American folks beating up an Asian man.... TRUMP himself called it the "Chinese Flu" una no talk ooooo... RUBBISH

OgunLaakaye:
Trust me, it will an average of 48 hours to make a choice.

Haha... At times when I am on Twitter and those Americans start the swears on Trump ehn...

ebig21:
It's not Ronaldo's fault, he loves challenge

it's not Messi's fault , he is a *Loyal* son of a bitch

OgunLaakaye:
Am telling you. Look at how he ended the press briefing. You will know Obama has the biggest real estate investment in his brains. Attacking a journalist for asking a brilliant question...

I weak!

Okay, quick one

Buhari or Trump

ebig21:
Ronaldo scored against 112 different teams class, no defence can hold him. Messi scored against 78 clubs

So you want Messi to score against a team he has never played before, How do you expect Messi to score against Sunderland, you sef sit down, relax con reason am...

OgunLaakaye:
Trump keeps shooting himself in the leg.

That man is a psycho.

Ravenna:
James bond, Tom Cruise and Kingsmen.

Ghana James Bond ?

Okuda:
officer jato.. or Buhari

Buhari is better make e go with the virus

mansakhalifa:
Chloroquine manufacturers.

Ni kini..... Una Dey listen to Trump

Ravenna:
If you need to stop an asteroid, you call Superman.
If you need to solve a mystery, you call Batman.
If you need to end a war, you call Wonder Woman.
But if you need to win a soccer match you call Ronaldo.

Who are we calling if we need to end a viral pandemic

While we are all thinking of beating Corona virus, this life itself isn't worth the stress when you think of it the other way round... God help us all

lewalee:
Call 08000CORONA

thank you dear, just called, it's the Lagos state toll free line but that was helpful

MentorNaija:
Stay safe.

The mortality rate is less than 3%, so it is no big deal. Just avoid contact with people to avoid infecting them. The result might turn negative.

okay sha, the sore throat and fever is gone for me now, just cough and chest pain

Humanoid01:
I think you and your brother should take a sick leave from your work place, and self-isolate for some days. Then also report to the NCDC, just to be on a safer side. It's for the good of yourselves and the people around you. Your brother's case seems more severe. I just hope it's a negative report. Don't panic, just follow the necessary steps, and whatever comes out, you'll be fine.

I have contacted NCDC on twitter not replied yet

MentorNaija:
Kindly report this to NCDC.

May the heavens keep you safe.

Scared a s Bleep bro, but I just message the commissioner of health in lagos, cos that is the only social media handle I know of

Humanoid01:
Damn! Are you for real?

About those symptoms, damn Yes

Just for some past 5 days now, I have had cough, sore throat ,fever... Although I am presently treating malaria..

Now my brother called from home that he has fever, he complained of having cough also and heavy eye... I don't know if I am so fucking paranoid ooo

Rest in Peace

There are some things money can't just buy, and like that she's gone...

Zhahovic:
..
So u want to fight the guy now?..
..

I am not fighting him, I even told him to stop calling me as I don't want to be a part of whatsoever it is that is between them

I seriously don't understand that last paragraph, and also I am going to keep my distance from her

ITbomb:
And he knew about it and packed in, who paid for the rent?

Methink, it's one of these guys that sponsor a girl, provide everything and the girl come get lover boy for school or work place but finds it difficult to break up because of all the investment.

Let her open up to you and you consider it, girl chop you for years, come go do love with another person, how you go feel?

she got the apartment through him,but he was not the one that paid, problem is the guy was so supportive during her diploma days, which I know of before we started dating because she told me

Zhahovic:
The girl is obviously confused. U should not link your confusion to hers. Forget about her unless u are enjoying the games. This one is not love

And I have decided to let her be, but even if I leave her the guy would go on to be hostile around her, and maybe lead to violence, because the last time he called he was saying he would beat her up, which I hate
