You seem to think testing labs are like setting up beer parlors...
How many scientists and lab technicians did you train in molecular testing? SMH

Chemist009:
You see why illiteracy and a society full of semi illiterates is an impending timebomb? I vividly remember how everyone in Surulere/Yaba axis were downplaying this virus and saying Na joke. How dumb conspiracy theorists wanted to make everyone in Nigeria see corona as a scam and not face the reality.... But now, we are all in this mess together no thanks to those idiots. Anyways, the revolution majority refused to join us saying Na scam, I am sure after this corona, everyone will indeed see the need for a revolution in every facet of our lives and society.

I am still yet to get why the FG have not yet put together a Covid-19 coalition with the private sector and academic institutions.

I find it hard to believe that we can not develop rapid test kits for Covid-19 here in Nigeria if we channel resources, intellectuals and manpower towards it.

The sluggishness in this response is frightening. We need local solutions from testing, treatment and provision of PPEs.

MainJoe:
Ghana carried out 68,591 tests. Maybe you think the excuses you are trying to make are relevant. They are not because our neighbour has showed more seriousness than us.

TheManOfTheYear:
Oga they said Mainland LGA not Lagos Mainland.
Make una try dey read before commenting

Why stop at Ghana? Why not add the UK and even the US? South Korea perhaps?! SMH

Point is that we are ramping up from a very low (in fact, non-existent) base, and that’s a GOOD thing...
There’s a well-worn saying that doing BETTER is ALWAYS a good thing, and perfection should never be the enemy of the good.

Anyway, this has become an increasingly tedious rigmarole...
If you are determined to remain CHAINED to the past, feel free to have at it Hoss. Time to move on to more productive discourse.

Oga don't be scared or afraid. Coronavirus can only kill you once, it can't kill you 2 times Be a cat with 9 lives.............man has no name, a man has no face, a man has no Coronavirus!

9jaRealist:


Over 95% of Covid positive cases will recover...
So having a large number of positives does not equate to large number of morbidity.

MainJoe:

Continue talking past when presently, our actions are still too slow. Have the NCDC thought about doing sample tests in other States to check if there is a growing spread when it is proven that lots of spread come from asymptomatic carriers?

They want to wait for symptoms and you want me to clap for their mediocrity.

byinks:
Exactly, a lot are also false positives

Wrong headline. There is a difference between Mainland and Mainland LGA.

Most affected local government area is Lagos Mainland LGA. That's places like Ebute Meta, Yaba, etc. If you're in this axis, better lock yourself indoor 24/7.

IlovePMB:
It is finished. The effect of more testing kits. The more the testing, the more the figure. I think the current number of people with covid 19 in Lagos currently would be more than 1 million.

And the states with little or no recorded cases are not doing efficient testing.

MainJoe:
Are they doing sample testing in other States? That is presently. Laugh and pretend all you want. The incompetency stinks across borders of Nation.

You want me to praise a performance worse than Ghana.

Stuck on Strawman Arguments...

Point was/is (and will continue to be) that Nigeria has ramped-up testing...
It has gone from 0 labs at end-February to 12 labs in mid-April and counting.

It has gone from inability to test for Covid domestically to quadrupled capacity...
It is currently testing more samples daily than it previously did weekly a few weeks ago.

Doing BETTER is ALWAYS a good thing...
Perfection should never be the enemy of the good.

Nah!!..... Life 1st, if anything happens to me my org. would replace me asap and probably leave me to fend for myself.

Well, lets wait and see, too early to make any decisions now.

Openbusiness:

IDH has been there a long time, I know. Let me tell you me I be original Lagos boy, I breathe and live Lagos, the map of Lagos is in my blood. IDH from time was never a LEVEL 3 facility, they upgraded it to Level 3 during Ambode time. Instead of upgrading it to Level 3 at that place, they should have relocated it and moved it to a remote location and continue from there. How can you put a level 3 infectious disease facility in an urban area? That's madness! Is it not human beings working there? Imagine one staff makes a mistakes and a highly infectious virus gets out, how do you contain it quickly when the IDH is right in the middle of an urban population? Is that not what just happened in China with the Coronavirus and today it has reached 210 countries with million infected and hundreds of billions spent but yet the virus is yet to be contained. Do you think they call it a INFECTIOUS DISEASE Facility for nothing? It means the pathogens and microscopic organisms they are handing there are highly dangerous and capable to spread quickly if they leak or get out. Imagine one nurse not decontaminating herself 100% properly before coming out to mingle in an urban public space, even if 99% decontamination was done that 1% error left can have grave consequences for the society. That facility has no business being in that location anymore.

Gemineye:
The FG was waiting for this thing to get into the country in order to test their level of preparedness or what
They wanted to test COVID
see where this sh1t has landed us
We had time to prevent this nonsense

My able Honorable, this Coronavirus we are talking about. Early decisions save lives My own early decision was 2 things:
#1 Never Really on Government for Anything --------- because DISAPPOINTMENT is their middle name. The Federal Disappointment Government of Nigeria, F[D]GN
#2 Enter Matrix, Carry my matter go meet the people on the other side of Life, to the Council of Gods that rule the Universe, to the ancient Ones that formed the world with one breath. I don go lie down beg Jehovah, put my life and that of my loved ones for his hands, collect his Mercy before i come back here to this 6D world.

Ebute Metta East, Ebute Metta West, and From Costain roundabout all the way through Apapa road to Oyingbo, all the way through herbert macaulay to adekunle, makoko , panti, casino, alagomeji, sabo, Agnes. unilag road, waec down to Jibowu then branch to all that side and places in between are under now Yaba LCDA , not Mainland LGA again

MainJoe:
The ramp up means nothing because we are still not testing enough to curtail the spread. So I can not celebrate mediocrity like you.

BreconHills:
Your indignation is laudable however it is not factual. The UCL infectious diseases centre in London is located in Gower street, bang in the middle of a very busy area of london frequented by tourists and university students. I know because I went to university there. Even if an infectious disease centre is located in sambisa, people still have to get there. No infectious disease centre can control what happens outside its gate, what they can control are the processes that minimize infection including pickup, testing admission processing, treatment, visitation ( almost zero) convalescence and discharge and post discharge care.

This drum you are beaten is broken but you will bang it anyway. Goodluck. Enjoy.
