Coborona:
Seems everyone is now developing a drug
The main question is; how effective are these drugs in the management of covid-19?
Because Covid-19 is still killing people in large numbers

No...death rate has dropped around the world. Drugs like Remsidivir which the US FDA just approved has about 30%+ success....also they use other retroviral drugs to treat it. Effectiveness can't be 100% now. Better treatment are still coming up....UK started plasma treatment that's using the blood of a recovered person to cure an infected person

akinszz:
if you don't know, it is the elites that spread the virus most in the north. Why? Because they didn't follow simple instruction. Stay at home, they wouldn't listen. Covic 19 no dey respect anyone.

Almajiris are not elites though

babaolofin:
No logic in what you wrote above. I have been asking a question for days now which people have deliberately avoided. Since Kano has such huge mysterious death figure, what is covid-19 infected figure of Chad & Niger Republics? My friend, a Cattle Dealer in an International Cattle Market, South West Nigeria said he is unaware of any figure?

Another question, why did they avoided South Africa a major economy and instead chose Lesotho to test run 5G? Why Nigeria, when SA is the home of MTN & Vodacom. MTN South Africa made more profit than Nigeria MTN, why Nigeria?

You are highly indebted to China and other donor countries. You are good paddy, once Nigeria play game, Africa will play game.

SA has test run 5G and its already operational in some places there

meobizy:
Nigerians have come again with stories mocking 'lesser Africans.' The virus attacks only animals. The inclusion of the paw paw, whether the fruit or tree, is really stupid of the 'journalist'.

you don't get the point or did you read the news. They mean kits have been compromised because it test positive for inanimate things

thekingofafrica:
Some thoughts, even if corona is contained by individual countries before fall, international travel looks unlikely till a vaccine is found and guaranteed it cures which looks like next year, airlines can’t afford to social distance on plane as the cost will be too high and individuals would be paying more than 50% of the normal cost, schools would then be forced to start fall online, now most international student moving to the USA are depending on GA and tuition waivers to attend, if there isn’t a physical class, GA,RA TA and university works looks unlikely, schools would be slashing their fees most definitely as they aren’t offering full services anymore, so tuition for 5k per semester might go for 3k, lol how do we cope? Most of us were banking on GA and some sort of scholarship. Who has a better understanding?

there is no way no international travel till next year. Some airlines and airport are already preparing to start operation. What will happen will be screening at the airport and full activities will resume when countries start to show zero infection rate. Australia airlines started some operation , I think same as New Zealand. For the Vaccine, don't bank on next year because that is a probability. Infact there is all possibilities that a vaccine won't even come or will come later, does it mean no one will travel again in the world. There would be measures to live with this covid, it has come to stay and it will be curtailed and mitigated with time. Many schools are also assuring students that fall will still happen or worse case scenario will be a defer or online classes for the first few months. US schools and US as a whole is very dependent on International students with the investment and money they bring in. As you can see Trump is trying to rush ways to open up the country so that the economy will be back to normal. As infection rates drop and cases goes to almost zero, nations will start resuming normal activities but with control measures. The world is going to learn to live with it because you can't bank on a vaccine. The politics and intricacies of vaccine are so much that there is no certainty for that. Moreover not all virus infection do have vaccines, sometimes vaccine trials do fail or go for years before it is achieved. So saying the world will wait for vaccine before activities starting is not just feasible because no one can tell when it will happen. The 18 months estimate is like the shortest time possibilities as best case scenario. You would ask what of those already given GA,RA, TA with full funding. And you know these are contracts which you have signed so the school has no right to rescind them

akinszz:
they saw it coming, they had all the time to act swiftly but, they didn't take it seriously. I didn't spew thrash, it's the truth and the truth can be very bitter.

when interstate travel restriction stops what happens...or you think Kano is in another country. People were even travelling during the lockdown not even to talk about when the lockdown is eased. You know how many people inter travel or how many non-indigenes do their businesses up north and travel tro and fro

Opeyemi4real:
. And so we have thousands of hospitals mostly private in the south. Just my local government in Ekiti has over 15 functioning hospitals / health centres and the LG is one of the smallest.

and I stay up north....we also have hundreds of health centers and hospitals in the various LGs. What he said about Kano and 25 hospital is not true. Kano has 44 LGs and each all have health centers and hospitals.... I don't like the way people want to use everything possible to start tribal or ethic/religious issues....if he is talking about worship centres it is numerous in all part of the country. If it is about health centres we have them in almost same quantity in different regions of the country...so I don't know why they should start playing the religious or tribal card

afroniger:
I don't blame dem. The North has become the defacto epicentre of COVID-19. Abuja especially should really watch it because as FCT and owing to its location and proximity to the likes of Kano and Kaduna, COVID-19 will always be close by.

so what happens when Inter state travelling restriction is lifted... No be one country we dey abi Kano dey another country...do you know how many were even travelling during the lockdown not even to talk about when everywhere opens up...many are doing business or schooling everywhere in the country

Opeyemi4real:
please don't compare North and south in this context.

what's the difference?... Thousands of mosques and churches both in the north and south...same over religious mentality we have in both regions...we have thousands of churches in the south likewise thousands of mosques up north...its an African mentality thing

Flyingngel:
The day the Southern part of Nigeria will be excise from the North, believe me that is when we will start seeing true development.
In my state, all local government area have at least a cottage hospital.

in kano all LGs also have a hospital...what's the difference...in the south are the churches not more than the hospitals. Same over religious people you see in the north you also see in the south. Same thousands of mosques, isn't it same thousands of churches we have...what's the difference ?...no body is hindering anyone developing...corruption and bad government is same in both north and south. Are your southern leaders saints?...they don't follow to embezzle and impoverish people ?...It is the north making all states in the country not to progress ?...which north are you referring to sef

Habiyo:
that's what make them an Islamic center or state.

so in the south are churches not far more than hospitals ?

I think this is just false hope to calm nerves...laying off will still occur. The caveat I read, if it has to happen they should let CBN know about it...in essence nothing really has changed

Centcanada:
NCDC plan to inject us vaccine forcefully through the Senate and house of rep failed now you re afraid if the virus will escalate as the lockdown was ease. Satanic in human form! Every man will go to his business with protective kits and I believe the virus will not spread I Jesus name. You wish to enrich yourself at the detriment of people sufferness.

which vaccine...vaccine that still has more than 1 year before it might even be ready... That's even might, at the earliest

you mean Iheakwazu the DG wants to enrich himself

Tetrahedron:
NCDC is only fooling itself!

Did anyone tell you the spread ever reduced?

After signing Nigerians as first bill gates guinea pigs to be tested like rats with the vaccine coming

This country is a joke

who even feed you with all these news...What wrong has NCDC done actually, are the government ?...

Topmaike007:
so that's why you guys prefer to use it on your region abi? And forget South very soon things will be put in place

which people?... Are the northerners rich, is poverty not more rife in the north... You think the leaders share money within themselves using north and south divide. The populace hate themselves because that's what the leaders want. They still dine with each other. Don't make it look as if anyone is enjoying more in this country. Be it a jos man, igbo, kanuri , yoruba etc...every one wants to live a good life and train their children... Everyone wants a stable country...all these, it is the hausa man or yoruba or igbo man fault won't help matters, it is just taking our attention from the main problem. Our leadership problem cut across all divides... Are the southern politicians better than the northern ones....

Topmaike007:
Even Abacha still dey send us money after 20 years that man na Odogwu..

Meanwhile USA should just hold the money because the north will share the money and forget us in the South where the money is generated from

you think your southern leaders are not corrupt or did not contribute to the impoverishment of their people

ideology:
Oga, you are entitled to your opinion.

I understand better how the devil works.

The same way, phone has advantages, they manufacturers will not tell you the other side of it.

Vaccines should not be by force.

If they believe vaccine will cure the problem, fine

Let us who do not want it die if you believe so...

Because I was vaccinated as a kid, does not mean that I continue to receive vaccine from them

BTW vaccine is a general term... Not the name of the medicine... So you don't know what was mixed in it. And I have the right to decide if I want it or not.

do you know the content of the medicine or vaccine you took while growing...and if you talk of content why doubt content now when you take drugs and trust what you see on the pack... You can as well go online and see contents of drugs and vaccines

Bevmo:
Lie! No Christian dare do that. Read about what happened in Afghanistan in 1942. All Christians came in to the country for Gospel were all slaughtered in front of camera. No Christian there display his/ she identity in Afghanistan Soil.

Oga Christians are in Saudi mostly the expatriates there.. Infact the middle east have the oldest Christians in the world... Christians of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt( the coptic Christians), Yemen etc etc... Pakistan have Christians, Afghanistan also have ....

mansakhalifa:
Op, be specific. Countries or "places" Which exactly do you mean? 'cause I really want to help you.

Well, talking about "places", try the Sentinelese of the North Sentinel Island in India. One of the least touched places on Earth despite the fact that it is not so remote when compared to other more distant parts of the Earth.

The gospel has never been preached there. And I heard the folks there are quite warm and friendly.


Another place should be Antarctica. Imagine preaching in a whole new continent.

Then, next you can try the unreached tribes deep in the recesses of the Amazon forest.

So, what's the plan, OP?

you will go and preach gospel to the polar bears and penguins in Antarctica?... Antarctica is a continent that just have only researchers from Europe and America. Indigenous people don't stay there

Plus10:
Sounds good but are there no places in those Countries you mentioned where the Gospel has not been preached at all?Or is it right to say for example all cities,town and villages in Saudi Arabia have heard about the Gospel?

oga the middle east have the oldest Christians in the world

� LOL do you know the owners

Who do they report to?

For your information Pfizer vaccines has killed children in times past and nothing was done about it.

They are laws that do not hold them liable for any damages incurred

oga I stay in the north and I am very aware of the meningitis trial drug they used in Kano that went bad....but you yourself have taken drugs from these companies and vaccines right from birth like BCG, Polio etc...There are conspiracies over all these things but if anything sinister is to be orchestrated they would have started from the BCG or polio you took at childhood. For the Pfizer controversy, it wasn't a vaccine but a trial meningitis drug. And now we have a meningitis vaccine which saves thousands in the North during this hot period. Meningitis kills in the north during the April heat period

Covid19 in Nigeria is scam

the positive person is a doctor and suspected he had it when his 2 colleagues were confirmed and he had some few symptoms with the notable one being loss of smell or anosmia....he was tested soon after and came back positive...this is first hand info and I do video call him from the isolation center...don't be ignorant

nsiba:

Covid19 in Nigeria is scam

don't be ignorant

Nitah1:
But she said they have not given her any drug.

toh!...you don't need to recover with a drug for those that have mild symptoms ...the drugs given usually are to help with your symptoms or alleviate them, that's like fasten recovery... I haven't followed her case though

Jamesbiodun:
More deaths in Nigeria, Nigeria government has already partner with WHO to do vaccines trial on Nigerians. many things are go to happen in Nigeria that federal government won't be able to handle

it is not WHO that does vaccine trial...they are already more than 10 vaccines trials right now going on by different firms

Nitah1:
How then were they able to know her status without symptoms?

when you have prior contact with a known case you can be tested or asked to be tested...for the woman's case she might have even recovered...because many recover within 2 weeks +

nsiba:
Covid19 is SCAM

I have a close relative that is in isolation center now after testing positive. This is not hear say, you can come and interact with them in the isolation center let's see if its scam

Felixamos:
Even covid 19 politicians wan involve politics join... Because of greed them don increase the number reach 2 thousand plus as if we dey do competition with USA.. Just imagine the childish maths Kano is doing with their number of infected cases.. When ncdc and politians deceive themselves finish make them let me know.. Rubbish people!!

keep on deceiving yourself... I personally know of someone that tested positive and in isolation centre...don't be ignorant
