Some Private medical laboratories should be called in and funded to increase the number of tests done per day. The percentage of positive tests per test pools scares me.
25% of all tests conducted in Nigeria are positive, while in UK it is below 15%.

This is really scary.

Capable private laboratory should be called in and funded to either become Covid testing centers or sample collection centers.

The Medical Laboratory Scientists should be life insured and paid handsomely. Private labs who decide to volunteer their facilities as collection centers should be paid a sensible grant/aid.

These are perilous times.

MelesZenawi:
And what is wrong with that?

Did oyedepo not conduct service last Sunday..

This aboki, you are also yapping like a brainless urchin.

Waterview:
I'm not a zombie, infact I despise president Buhari.

But i will never take wailing as a full time job like these guys.

I even voted for Atiku.

Bloody lies!

Emmacula8:
Nigerian should not be surprised that this Covid 19 will be an opportunity for our leaders to loot money Let wait and see.. it is noted

Sorry but are you implying that Covid-19 doesn't exist?

We just got some delivery of the test kits in our diagnostic laboratory from colleagues abroad.

Any Senator or politician interested should contact me.

What can I do to help?”

It’s a question that many scientists are asking as numerous research labs close their doors around the world. While scientists can write manuscripts, carry out data analysis, and plan for future experiments remotely, it’s hard to focus on research during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you’re a scientist and want to help right now, here are 10 ways to use your skills and expertise.

1.) Listen to recommendations from your local public health authorities, and share them within your personal networks. Concepts like social distancing and #FlattenTheCurve aren’t common knowledge. Take this opportunity to break down jargon to your loved ones, debunk misinformation, and share why simple measures, such as washing your hands, are key in this pandemic.

2.) Donate personal protective equipment (PPE) that you may have in the lab. Healthcare workers are reporting PPE shortages, including masks, gloves and eye shields. If you have unused PPE supplies in your lab, consider donating them to local hospitals. You can also find places to donate to via the #GetUsPPE campaign.

3.) Donate reagents and equipment. In certain locations, a shortage of key chemicals and supplies is holding back COVID-19 testing. Keep an eye out for reagent requests from your institution or local public health authority, and donate resources where possible. For example, the RNA Society is assembling an inventory of supplies across the US.
Review pre-prints. Platforms such as the Outbreak Science Rapid PREreview, bioRxiv and medRxiv are currently receiving a massive influx of pre-prints related to COVID-19. Consider reading through submissions, providing feedback, and flagging any concerns.

4.) Volunteer your skills to help COVID-19 researchers. Initiatives, such as Crowdfight COVID-19 and the COVID-19 Pandemic Shareable Scientist Response Database, are connecting COVID19 researchers to volunteer scientists, where tasks can include transcribing data and manually annotating images.

5.) Participate in a COVID-19 challenge. Many challenges have been launched, such as a $200,000 Code Life Ventilator Challenge to create a low-cost ventilator, and a COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge to develop text mining tools to extract data from a machine-readable literature collection. Gather your fellow scientists together and consider tackling a challenge today.

6.) Donate your computing power. Folding@Home is running simulations to better understand the COVID19 coronavirus, including its structure and how it folds. You can help by downloading the desktop app and donating computer power to let the team run more simulations.

7.) Volunteer to answer COVID-19 questions via ChatBots. The Federation of American Scientists, the New Jersey Office of Innovation and the Governance Lab have developed an COVID-19 Ask-A-Scientist ChatBot service, which is powered by volunteers. Similarly, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) have developed the Jennifer COVID-19 Chatbot. You can sign up as a volunteer to help answer questions and expand the ChatBot’s knowledge base.

Edit pages related to COVID-19 on Wikipedia. The public is turning to Wikipedia for answers during this pandemic, where the main COVID-19 pandemic page has over ten million page views. By creating an account, you can head to COVID-19-related pages to add and verify information. (Here’s a handy tutorial for beginners.)

9.) Share your research virtually to engage students who are at home. With schools shut down, parents are turning to virtual learning options to keep their children busy.

10.) Consider signing up for platforms, like Skype A Scientist, where you’ll be matched with families who want to hear about your field of expertise. (And if you have a family, here’s Tara Haelle’s list of 101+ ideas to keep your kids busy.)
This is by no means a complete list, but a starting point for scientists hoping to do more with their time and skills during this pandemic. Just as importantly, don’t forget to take care of your mental health — whether it’s something as simple as calling a friend, donating blood, or taking a break, every now and then, from the news cycle.

Maski87:
The US prints dollars, it is their money and the can print as many as they like,so their money can ever fall

That's not the economics behind it.

Great Ohamadike!

Big boil in the arse of ewedu muslims, buharideens and zombies.

Being proactive while illiterate dumbohari the 'Sheriffat in town' hides in his cocoon.

Chapelbeatz:
Ah ah but our case never reach their own na

Una case fit don even pass their own but una no get laboratory reagent or testing kits to detect una real case numbers. Una government no dey even employ enough medical laboratory scientists and other health workers.

verifiablefacts:
leave the east to where,when they are from the east.

They should change their businessline into selling electrical equipments. They are the worst performing electricity distribution company.

Are returnees still coming into this country without being quarantined?

Hei!

NaMeAboki:
Yes indeed; in fact this is a very good opportunity for them come out and to assert their legally backed professional autonomy after years of marginalisation and domination by medical doctors - it is very ironic that NMA is the one now making this call, giving its role in the subjugation of medical laboratory scientists.

I've been waiting for AMLSN to even release press statements as an health professional association and educate Nigerians on this scourge. What better time if not now?
Scientists in Ghana, Cameroon and Kenya have been proactive, releasing statements, educating their people on the Covid-19 issue but AMLSN as big as they are with all the money (dues) at their disposal can't even release a simple online press release. Very lethergic In a battle where their members are right in the middle of the whole chaos?

Their PRO must either be fired or be made to lose the next election.

Tufiakwa!

The US is also hit by recession why is the dollar not also losing value in the same vein?

princemillla:
Lots of sense in this article but China doing that at the detriment of innocent lives

China doesn't really give in medical and bioethics standards if there are huge potential gains to make, be it scientific or political.

I strongly suspect that they are using the CAS9/CRISPR technology to clone designer human species even though it is banned all over the world.

Ethical boundaries do not stop China, if there are gains to make.

placeofallure:
Don't mind him. Afonja is their headache, Yoruba is their menace, The truth is, it's not this generation of Igbo people that will survive without them Yorubas.
My 3 girlfriends in school are Ibos, they're good girls as I was also good to them. They all speak Yoruba fluently, they even gave themselves Yoruba names. When their families come around, they still converse in Yoruba. That's to show you how deeply entrenched in our culture they are. I can't speak a word of Igbo but we live in absolute peace.

The problem is not with Ibos but that hateful soul you have quoted. Always looking for ways to ferment trouble. Ewu!

You are rejoicing that your imaginary Igbo friends are 'deeply entrenched' in your culture but you don't consider yourself a bigot like the Igbos you call bigot?

Like I said last time in my previous post, yoruba are crafty in the art of reprobrating and approbating at the same time. They are innate tribalists but would hate you for also trying to protect your culture.

Before the advent of social media, If a yoruba man does a good exploit, they are hailed as 'omoluabi' and their yorubaness is emphasized. No qualms about about that. Nobody calls out the yoruba for that.

But if an Igbo man does the same and he hailed and his Igboness emphasized, the same yorubas swarm on that the Igbos calling them tribalists for hailing their own. They expect the Igbos to be timid while they dominate because we lost a war against Britain and her agents? Mbanu! The Germans and Japanese also lost wars too. Jews lost millions of people too.

Some of us saw the dangerous trend 10 years ago and started the 'Igbo Amaka' revolution to assert ourselves as Igbos who cannot be intimated. It paid off.

Today even yorubas say 'yoruba amaka'.

There some private laboratories that have the the capacity to run the test. NCDC should disburse funds, reagents and kits to them to run the tests for free for every Nigerian.

Every General hospital laboratory should be upgraded with the machines, reagents and Medical Laboratory Scientists (with life insurance) and stand by power. Create awareness on TV, radio, newspaper, send town criers in the rural areas and ask people to come for free for the tests.

AMLSN should be the one releasing these statements by now. The leadership of AMLSN is so lethargic, unlike their Ghanian counterparts. Their PRO should be fired.

Good one. There some private laboratories that have the the capacity to run the test. NCDC should disburse funds, reagents and kits to them to run the tests for free for every Nigerian.

AMLSN should be the one releasing these statements by now. The leadership of AMLSN is so lethargic, unlike their Ghanian counterparts who are very proactive. The AMLSN PRO should be fired.

If Enugu electricity distribution company (EEDC) refuses to provide 24hr power during this lockdown and at least make life easier they must be forced to leave the East forever with their wickedness and incompetence. Let someone else take their license.

Pls ehn, igbo scammer pls I beg u in d name of corona, don't join ss to se stupidity called Biafra or ipob or whatever. We in ss can never swallow ur scam

Dirty alumajiri, divide and rule is dead, wake up and smell the kunu.

SLAP44:
Write to the Nigeria army,

If they can't find Buhari's certificates, do you think they'll be able to find files about Trimnell who served before the war?

It's a dead end I assure you. But he can still try.

johnmartus:
Which money audio I guess. Bastard terrorist group leader. You can only fool yourself and the gullible .

Make pain kee you there my ewedu muslim brother.

JAOS:
your audio money is not needed,the FG and NCDC has the situation under control so go and sit down

Have your FG money ever trickled down to the common man? No!

IPOB has the grassroot structure to get their money and aid to the common man on the street, tell your audio presidiot dumbohari to sit and learn from Ohamadike.

CSTR2:
This is where buhari has to be proactive so as to foil such predatory moves.
The Airports should remain shut.

Ensure that no medical doctor leaves.

But Zahra buhari and Yusuf her broken headed brother can leave whenever they like?

Reference:
This is reprehensible by the United States and the international community should totally condemn this in no uncertain terms. Just disgusted.

Anyone who takes this offer at this time should have his Nigerian citizenship withdrawn permanently, forever. There is no depth of unpatriotism that is worse than this.

America will never accept this of its citizens.

You dey craze, your thieving leaders who should be the most patriotic with all the billions credited to their bank accounts in the spirit of "serving Nigerians' will run away from this country if put in the same shoe.

A friend who is Medical Scientist was running all over the place looking for a proper job for years. He was underemployed for years. He had to sell a few posessions, raised N2.5 million, left this shithole. He is now in Baltimore, Maryland doing well in one of hospitals there.

You are telling me he should have stayed back to suffer with his kids and wife?

How patriotic are your government officials when they make live unbearable for citizens and send their kids abroad for a better life?

You Nigerians will learn the very hard way. If after this you and your leaders don't learn, then I'll know you are hopelessly irredeemable.

Etinosa1234:
that year ..I was so naive...I be think say law na free big paying job..
be4 I come dey hear say dem dey shout for affidavit for court..e pain me gaan

u must first write their exam first

Lol... That course sef.

I told myself I will only start studying law if I decide to get into active politics.

Etinosa1234:
wetin make me choose law

Lol...you be wan dey blow grammar that year.

Isoduwa:
First tell us which school you go
The course and the time you spend
Your result before anything

Mr 'Employer' wey never chop belleful dey ask person wey get PhD for Medical Science question.

Bwahahaha!

The Canadians will follow suit soon. I learnt this from a colleague in Saskatoon.

Health professionals ngwanu ka anyi jebe.

Would love to apply but not now. Una shakara bin dey too much. But make I dey my dey first, come study situation.

Drwiseone:
Hello, Nice having you around again today.
Today, due to popular demand, I will be talking about this issue
of Fallopian Tube blockage read below;
While there are many causes of infertility, a blockage of the
fallopian tubes is often the reason why many women are
unable to conceive.
The Fallopian tubes are the pathways in which the ova travel
from the ovaries down into the uterus, and if there is a blockage
in these tubes it can prevent this from occurring.
Effective movement of eggs from the ovary through the Fallopian tubes
and maturation of the sperm cell before fertilization happens
within the Fallopian tube also. Not only is progesterone and estrogen
balance vital to the menstrual cycle overall, but it is vital to the health
and proper function of the Fallopian tubes as well.
Most of the things that causes blockage of the Fallopian tubes include :
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
• Uterine Fibroid
• Ectopic pregnancy

Our range of natural products can help with this condition by
ensuring a proper balancing in the hormones (Progesterone/Estrogen),
and also a complete DETOX program offered by our products also
helps in cleansing the reproductive tract of the woman from all the
scars, blockages, menstruation flows, low sperm count, hip Enlargement, breast/penis enlargements, weakness of manhood and lots more. It should be noted that the Fallopian tubes are very thin to begin with,
it does not take much for them to become blocked,
So regular detoxification for a woman who wants to get pregnant is
key to maintaining an open Fallopian tube that ensures the
smooth movements of eggs and sperms cell within its walls.
Once again, our products work naturally with no side effects.
This is the hallmark of their action and I will be glad if you give
it a try towards achieving your goal. One thing is sure for you, if you believe. you will receive

How for your Anti-corona herbal mixture and where is your address located?

I agree with what Arsene Wenger said some years ago. Scientists should be paid higher than footballers.
