He should have taken chloroquine naw... Shey test equal to medication ni? It's obvious they only testing only their citizens.

There is no conclusive evidence that chloroquine works.

Until a proper RCT trial is done....no one can confirm if it works.

And at the moment, more patients have recovered without using CQ than have recovered with it.

Whether migrants or citizens anybody without health insurance will not be tested in America, one of the main reason why they are dying there. Most Americans can't afford to pay for health insurance. Life in America is not easy

I dont understand why didnt they try the hydroxychloroquine trump put out?
Perhaps it could have saved him
Re: Bassey Offiong Dies Of Coronavirus In USA After Being Refused Test by Nobody: 10:52am On Mar 30, 2020
Hmm. RIP to the departed soul.

Meanwhile most Nigerians here still dont value what they have, always speaking ill of their country. Yet any small challenge over there, they remember they have a place called home.

Nothing like your own home, where you will be treated with respect and at least listened to. We patriotic Nigerians only visit those countries as tourists and come back to our sweet home Nigeria irrespective of our own peculiar challenges......

Too bad. Had this happened in Nigeria we would have blamed it on negligence and incompetence. Unfortunately even in the so called civilized country, he still died without even a fight from the medics. My condolences to the bereaved family and friends.
Is still the things you mentioned, which is very rampant here.

Be rest assured that they won't just blame it on negligence and incompetence but will have those responsible dealt with judicially.
See the difference

He did die in a hospital hooked up to a ventilator...so I daresay he had insurance. (He won't have been admitted for ICU care without it...he would have gotten some drugs in the ER and then sent home if no insurance).

Also, even if he was tested early...the best they can do for now is admit him and treat him supportively. No drug has been proven to work yet (chloroquine is still undergoing trials)

Without a fight from medics? Did we read the same article as he was clearly admitted to ITU.

Condolences to the family

I'm glad I saw your comment. Nigerians really don't read. I kept on praying to find a comment of someone who actually went through the post, to see that he got ICU care, testing or not testing wasn't going to change the outcome. He got the best possible care at this point.
