FarahAideed:I currently reside in Worcester, so it affects me directly. I don't want to get shot by the police or racist people. I just want to go about my daily activities like a normal human being. |
FarahAideed:Americans don't care about you. To them, you are just another low-life from a sh.it hole country. |
malcomxjr:Please let me know your facts. It also seems like Fox 'news' has done their job. |
malcomxjr:Do you live in the US? How do Africans think? What wicked demons? Can you please explain? Trump is an example of an African dictator that is not allowed to exercise his power due to the system that has been put in place in the US. |
Mynd44:Trump is a mor.on |
Jostoman:I have families in Kabba and the whole town is aware that Imam Ejibunu is sick with COVID-19. Kabba town is not that big. |
SarkinYarki:What of Brazil? The first case was confirmed in February and the first death was recorded on 17 March. Their president denied it as a "little flu", today they have 470,000 cases (they recorded 29,000 new cases yesterday) and people are dying like rats. He could have reduced the numbers by early intervention but he chose to turn a blind eye. You can't just wish COVID-19 away, it requires hard work, which includes extensive testing and contact tracing. Nigerian is doing neither, we are buying time. Brazil has even given up, they are just digging graves or people;

slimfit1:Another mor.on |
ndcide:Sorry mate, you don't deserve a reply from me. |
ndcide:Did you see this part of the article? "The steering committee decided to suspend enrollment to that arm of the so-called Solidarity trials, WHO officials said Monday. That’s after the Lancet published a study that said the drug, touted by U.S. President Donald Trump as a treatment, was linked to an increased risk of death and heart ailments." This is the study the article is referring to, you dimw.it:

ndcide:You didn't even read the post. There are plenty mo.ons walking about in Nigeria. |
[quote author=zoomzoom post=89954674][/quote]Studies have shown that Hydroxoychroquine increases your chances of heart complications and even death. |
Sacchi1162:90% of people with COVID-19 don't require any treatment. They recover on their own, maybe with some Paracetamol to help with mild fever. All other countries don't isolate people anywhere, they just stay quarantined in their homes. Only people who are very sick are taken to hospitals. |
slivertongue:It is already more than 10,000 in Nigeria. We are not just testing enough to know how far it has spread. Nigeria, a country of 190 million have only tested 38,000 people. It is really a hopeless situation. |
Legendre2:Yes, you test whoever is testable. Where I live, there are many drive-throughs, just like KFCs or McDonalds, you don't need to get out of your car. If you have anything like headache, flu or you feel you have been in contact with anyone with the virus, you just go there. Even if you have coronavirus, all you need to do is stay at home and take paracetamol. Do you know that 90% of people with COV-19 do not require any hospitalisation and many don't even show symptoms? So you know, in NY, there are currently 270,000 cases, however, less than 7000 are in the hospital, the rest are at home. When you don't test people, you allow the virus to spread until it starts to kill the most vulnerable people. For example yesterday only, UK tested 83,000 people while Nigeria tested <1000. Even Ghana here has tested 6times (180,000 till date) more than Nigeria (~33,000). People all over the world are not stupid, there is a reason why Nigeria don't have constant power supply after 60 years of Independence. It is all over your post. |
Orestino:That's a moro.nic statement from you. Dead bodies didn't litter the streets of Italy in January or February but did in March/April. Didn't litter streets of UK/US in February or March, but did in April/May. Didn't litter streets of Brazil in March or April but it is now and climbing rapidly. WHO and countries like S. Korea, Singapore and Germany have shown that the only way to prevent significant community spread and unnecessary death is extensive early testing. Those countries that refused to heed to this warning caused a lot of their citizen to die. I hope that will not be the case in Nigeria. Ignorance they say is bliss. If you don't test for COVID-19, you won't get any result. However, COVID-19 don't if you are stu.pid or not, it just keep spreading. |
Kazim88:Lie about what? That it's Brazil's turn now and maybe Nigeria's turn soon. Three weeks ago Brazilian President denied COVID-19 in the country, today the country is digging thousand upon thousands of graves and burying people in mass.

u11ae1013:I am not scared of the disease, the fatality rate of COVID-19 is less than 10% and I live in a place where people take it seriously. WHO and many countries like S. Korea, Germany and Singapore, have shown that the only way to defeat this virus is to test extensively, that way you know who has the virus and be able to isolate them from the public. Nigeria is under-testing for COVID-19 and it normally doesn't end well that way. The US, UK, Italy, Brazil and Spain, who didn't carry out extensive early testing suffered the consequence. If Nigeria doesn't expand its testing capacity, she may be used as a case study in a few months down the lane. |
u11ae1013:Be careful what you wish for. Brazil was in our situation 2 weeks ago, now they have more that 200k cases and they are now burying people in mass. |
Righteousness89:He is a mo.ron |
senatordave1:Nigeria is under-reporting COVID-19 cases in the country. Every country that tried this strategy have suffered, Brazil is currently going through its own now. That is a preview of what is coming to Nigeria. |
Nitah1:You are funny or... |
Ghana has now recorded 2,719 cases of COVID-19 and 65 additional recoveries making a total of 294, according to the Ghana Health Service (GHS). The death toll however remains the same at 18. This is the largest the country has recorded so far in one batch. Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service is still embarking on a massive testing and contact tracing exercise to ensure affected persons are identified as part of measures to further curb the spread of the virus. http://thepostghana.com/ghana-records-550-more-cases-of-coronavirus-in-2-days-tally-now-2719/

olumide4christ:You need to learn more about COVID-19. Again, 95% of people with COVID-19 DO NOT require ventilation and about 90% DO NOT even require any hospitalisation. 90% of those that have recovered from COVID-19, did that in the comfort of their homes. For example, NY has about 240k active cases, however, less than 11k are currently hospitalised and only 3k patients are on the ventilator. |
olumide4christ:Why are they isolating people in hospitals? 90% of people with COVID-19 don't require hospitalisation. |
It will be impractical to use isolation centres to contain this virus. They are still using the template of Ebola. It's not the same. |
Waste of money, energy and valuable time. Use this valuable resource to increase the capacity of public hospitals that are necessary to meet the immediate needs and will be useful in the long run for Lagos health care system. |
VeeVeeMyLuv:Buying? No one is buying, people will even pay you to take it. This is just WTI crude not sure it affects Brent crude to that extent |
Gucciboss:That's possible because Nigeria has very few cases at the moment. If there 50,000 cases in Lagos alone, it will be a serious challenge putting all of them in isolation centres. Around the world, people with COVID-19 and showing mild symptoms usually self-quarantine. Those who don't have the means or are homeless are put in hotels to self-isolate. |
Salvador1:A lot of people (about 80%) don't need any care. In many countries, many of the COVID-19 cases just stay at home and rest. Some few cases get worse and will need hospitalisation, while many other cases will just get better with time. I believe Nigeria is isolating people because they believe that the sick ones may not strictly self-isolate and there might be some likelihood of infecting others. |
Between 80-90% of COVID-19 cases don't require hospitalisation. Resting at home will be more than enough. |
Akunwafor:It has already, it's not been tested enough |
