All the freaking best!

For all we know, dead bodies arent littering the streets of Kogi state

So why is the hype of the scamdemic too much?

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:
You lie

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:
do not panic else you die of panic instead of coronavirus.
There is nothing you can do about the virus than to accept your fate, I think God has been merciful towards us in these continent else, the virus entered same month with other countries and for us, it's so far so good

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:
Lol, believe this at your own peril.

There is a better way to say you want to lockdown lagos than fabricate figures few days to buhari's prepared speech

One thing I know is, people are no longer afraid, Corona is no longer an unknown enemy, it's no longer a visitor but our neighbor, so, we will live with it and serve it with chloroquine + zinc +vitamins and yoruba pepper

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.

I Just Love and Admire the Guts of President Donald Trump!

A whole lot of Crazy things would have happened if Someone like Trump was not president!

GOD ALMIGHTY fixed him there for Times as these..

He is a mo.ron

senatordave1:
You mean over inflating and overreporting

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:
Nigeria discharges covid 19 patients more than America....

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.

olumide4christ:
Oh is that so? Someone who needs to be put on ventilator, where else will they isolate them?

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:
Where is this isolation center?? Is it not in Gbagada General Hospital? Is the hospital not a public hospital? The last time I checked, LASG has not sold the to private entities.

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:
Time for massive buying

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:
They still need to be isolated. Isolation center is the best place not home

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:
Which drug them they use cure them

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:
I'm surprised it has not entered thousands.

It has already, it's not been tested enough

Everyone knows that Nigeria is in trouble except Nigerians.

Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne said he wouldn't close the doors of his Tampa, Florida, megachurch until the End Times begin. The police weren't willing to wait that long.

On Monday, Florida sheriff's deputies arrested the evangelical pastor, who has continued to host large church services despite public orders urging residents to stay home to help contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said Howard-Browne has been charged with two counts: unlawful assembly and a violation of health emergency rules. Both are second-degree misdemeanors, Chronister said at a press conference Monday.

Last week Hillsborough County issued an order directing residents to remain at home effective March 27 except for "essential services" -- including trips to the grocery store, the doctor's office and the pharmacy. The county's list of "essential services" does not include attending church.

Florida has more than 5,200 confirmed coronavirus cases and at least 63 deaths, according to the state's health department.
Chronister said he and the department's lawyers have repeatedly urged Howard-Browne to close his River at Tampa Bay Church, making personal requests and speaking with the church's attorney. On Sunday, police went to the church to speak with the pastor, "who did not make himself available," Chronister said.
The church held two services that day. A video on the church's Facebook page shows a large group of people in attendance.

"His reckless disregard for human life put hundreds of people in his congregation at risk," Chronister said at a news conference on Monday, "as well as put thousands of residents who may interact with them in danger."
Howard-Browne was arrested in Hernando County, where he lives, and was not immediately available for comment.
But one of his attorneys issued a statement Monday challenging the logic of the county's stay-at-home order and saying the River church took extra health precautions for its services Sunday. The church gave each attendee hand sanitizer, had its staffers wear gloves and enforced a six-foot distance between family groups in the auditorium, attorney Mat Staver said.
"Not only did the church comply with the administrative order regarding six-foot distancing, it went above and beyond any other business to ensure the health and safety of the people," Staver added. "Contrary to Sheriff Chronister's allegation that Pastor Howard-Browne was 'reckless," the actions of Hillsborough Country and the Hernando County Sheriff are discriminatory against religion and church gatherings."

Since President Donald Trump declared the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency, most churches, mosques, synagogues and temples have temporarily shut down. But there have been a few defiant outliers, including a pastor in Louisiana.
Howard-Browne, who was born in South Africa and built the River into a megachurch with 4,000 members, is a prominent evangelical who prayed in the Oval Office with Trump in 2017. In recent days the Pentecostal preacher has made controversial remarks and floated conspiratorial theories about the coronavirus.

At a church service on March 15, Howard-Browne said he would not close his church's doors until the Rapture, when believers will be lifted up to heaven, according to evangelical theology.
At the same service, the pastor said he won't close his Bible School either, "because we are raising up revivalists, not pansies."
Howard-Browne defended his actions in a Facebook Live post titled "End of Days Part Three," according to CNN affiliate WFLA.
"I'm not again negating that people are dying from the coronavirus," he said. "We're not saying that, just saying that the thing is blown totally way out of proportion and if you shut the church down, the church is not a non-essential service."

Recklessness? Or religious freedom?
In a statement posted March 22 on its website, the church claims that closure orders violate religious freedom.
"The government deciding who can attend a service by way of a numerical limit does not demonstrate an equality of rights and ought to be seen as a per se violation of the principle of separation of church and state," says the statement, which was not written by Howard-Browne.
"These orders try to justify unequal application based upon the definition of 'essential' services. By what authority does the government declare the church non-essential?" it continues.
"The Church is a place where people turn for help and for comfort in a climate of fear and uncertainty. In a time of crisis, people are fearful and in need of comfort and community, more than ever before."

But many legal scholars and religious believers dismiss the religious freedom argument, saying the widespread social distancing orders meet a compelling governmental interest: public safety.
"It's unfortunate here that the pastor is hiding behind the first amendment," State Attorney Andrew H. Warren said at Monday's news conference.
Emergency orders like the county's are "constitutionally valid," Warren said.
"I would remind the good pastor of Mark 12:31," Warren said, referring to the Bible. "There is no more important commandment than to love your neighbor as yourself. And loving your neighbors is protecting them and not jeopardizing their health by exposing them to this deadly virus."

ChieduJoshua081:
So I should lose my knee caps because of the statistics abi ?

Well seems you really like the gloom and doom let me help you fast track ur wish. You will be the next to be infected and the next to die of the virus OK. Have a nice day .

Hahahaha. If wishes were horses, beggars will ride. So you know, prayers don't work.

ChieduJoshua081:
But that is a very strong statement you made up there and it's inappropriate and kind of appocalyptic. Science does not know if the sickness will kill Blacks the way it is killing whites yet. Be optimistic bro.

There is no need to be optimistic. Flu has killed millions of black people in the past and is killing now. We know that COVID-19 will kill a lot of Africans because of the lack of preparedness and infrastructure. We are just wishing away everything and never ready to take responsibility.

This is statistics of what has happened in the past, the 1918 pandemic (Spanish flu) in Nigeria

ChieduJoshua081:
Get the Bleep out of here. Prophesier of doom.

I'm a not prophet, I don't involve myself in such diddle. Just pointing you to what science is saying.

LadyBeee:
you will surely be dissapointed

I truly hope so

It's already everywhere. A lot of people will get sick and many will eventually die.

awwfar:
na u and all your family go wipe out ...amen

Lol, my brother, be prepared. Social distancing has shown to a more effective tool for fighting COVID-19 that prayers

excessmon:
What do I need to quote a failure for? Oga face ur life Abeg

Hahahaha, just be prepared, my brother. It hasn't started

a

LadyBeee:
back to sender. Idiot

Hahaha, typical Nigerians. Your wish cannot change or affect reality. Start practising safe distancing as much as you can. A lot more people will die; I mean a lot.

This is a statistics of how many Nigerians died during the Spanish flu (1918), I believe they didn't teach this in school. I am sure it won't be this bad but plenty of people will still die.

excessmon:
Maybe wen it finish ravaging ur village we come to the rescue......//.

If a country did not well try to appreciate it for once

It just started in Nigeria. You cannot wish away coronavirus. It is coming, there are already hundreds of cases in Nigeria now, quote me in 3 weeks time.

Many more will die in NIGERIA.

kelvindj98:
Your family will die, idiot.

Lol, Nigerians and denying reality. Italy, USA, Spain and the UK were all in our shoe at a point, they all denied and we can see where they are now.

Nigeria is just a few weeks behind the likes of Italy. Be prepared!

seankafor:
you re just ranting sheepishly.
Why aren't people dropping dead like flies unlike in your dream western countries you keep licking their asses with nothing to show?
Why dont you enter next flight to italy ?

Or is the country the cause of your mental retardation?

A lot of people will die in Nigeria from COVID-19. Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands will have coronavirus in Nigeria. It's fact, prepare.
