Stop acting like you don't know covid 19 is an unexpected national emergency and pamdemic. Do you know the cost of issuing official results of Covid 19 to millions of people in Nigeria? Why spend so much on test results when we still need funds for text kits.

My first Covid 19 test result was sent through SMS and was negative!!

Educate yourself please!
ok I'm game now. Infact I just discovered that it's the norm since this covid started. I'm all for the fact that this situation is being politicized.

Did u read what she wrote, he mother bathed her and slept on the same bed with her. Coronavirus is highly contagious, there's no way her mother could not have contracted the virus if she (the girl) actually has it.

Her mother bathing her and having endless contacts may have increased the risk of transmission but it doesn't necessarily mean she would be infected. There are lots of isolated cases like that even in Europe. Transmission is via contact with respiratory droplet either directly or indirectly through contact with formites/surfaces. One can come close with an infected patient without contracting the disease and it's no rocket science.

The COVID-19 test in Nigeria is done as a pool test and if the state doesn't have a testing facility they can only receive reports of the tests sent out.

It's unfortunate she ignorantly choose to misinform the public even when she's not a clinician. How could she possibly diagnose herself?

Well I wish Nigerians the best...

You are correct, but read me well.

i dont doubt the existence of the virus, but I said, they inflate the figures. Simple.


Do you guys have ventilators up to 1k, so which ventilators are serving the so called over 5k?

At least out of 5k plus, 2 or 3k should be on ventilators. but hell no.

people recover in two weeks here. is that the recovery period in US and other hard hit countries?

I want to see pictures of people in ventilators blur their faces.

want to see dead bodies going into body bags.

crazy dumb country with dumb citizens that don't question their roguish leaders which is why they play them for fools
Lemme educate you a bit and I'd come down to your level instead of using medical jargon ..not every patient needs be on a ventilator except those who are in a critical condition, those who have underlying respiratory illnesses such as asthma. The way covid-19 strikes makes it mandatory for such category of patients to be put on ventilators. Boris Johnson didn't need a ventilator because his condition was stable. In most cases, patients may only need continuous flow if humidified O2 while some wouldn't need any before recovering...your immune system too is a determinant of your quick recovery from covid-19 if you contract one.

In the west, their immune system isn't as strong as ours. Where an average Nigerian could live and survive, an average westerner wouldn't. An oyinbo fit die of malaria after bitten by a mosquito whereas here, make 10 mosquitoes bite us...which is always the case, we are still waxing strong. You cannot compare our body system with theirs over there. Hardly would you eat their food without crossing sugar. They drink beer like pure water...all these do cause health issues amongst them especially when growing old. Many end up being diabetic, hypertensive and with renal issues. If you've been to their hospital and seen many strange cases, you'd be amazed if such illnesses ever existed in africa. Many of us don't go to hospitals. Over there, every family or citizen has a doctor. Our chances of survival here is high, given our climate and what we are exposed to. I stand to be corrected.

On inflation of covid-19 figure, nothing is impossible in Nigeria especially in the north where patients are being discharged in less than 2 weeks of isolation...that's the issue we have been talking about as health workers lately. Maybe they too want to get the kind of funds lagos is getting on covid-19. Don't get me wrong, people are really dying in the north due to covid-19 but they're downplaying it for the reason best known to them. It takes an average of 3 weeks to discharge a covid-19 patient. What's happening up north really calls for a concern. I can't trust mallam for anything because they are the most controversial people or tribe on earth

What are your testing tools?. How do you differentiate fever from Covid-19 using temperature as a yardstick? Who prepares the results? How do you know they are true

My Younger brother who is currently a medical intern at Yaba claims not to have seen any Covid-19 patient. This is a person that should have proximity of information. But results keeps flying
X

First of all, there are parameters for diagnosis of COVID-19 both clinically and by investigation. As you are not a clinician; you can't possibly understand how the clinical suspicion is made on grounds of presentation.

2ndly, your brother may be an intern in the said facility but the cases he deals with depends on the dept/unit he's posted for his primary duty. So it's possible he may not get to see these patients, has no COVID-19 training or equipped with relevant info on how its diagnosis is made.

Lastly, it's funny how many of you rush to prove or debunk clinical issues when you lack basic understanding of its rudiments. Medicine takes 6-8yrs to study (varies with institution) and further years in practice to gain some experience in it. Hence, don't think it's easy to arrive at clinical diagnosis by just goggling or going with societal nuances. It takes many years to get to where we are and e get why...The Malaria many swaps with COVID-19 to ride their quasi-knowledge is not as simple as it seems and both conditions are distinctly different but you can't know this...e get why grin

SO the ones that had it and were later discharged what medicines were they given since the virus does not have cure yet?


I am beginning to suspect Nigeria

Well, your suspicions are completely unnecessary since most people who come down with the virus will recover fully, and most won't have severe symptoms.

They are being isolated to protect those who are more at risk of comming down with severe symptoms

See for yourself the Fallen Church 

Google Images of 100s of pastors worldwide arrested for child defilement of 100, 000s of babies and children. Think how many pedophile pastors never get caught because they are too powerful to bring to justice. They are of all races and nationalities because the demons of pedophilia don't discriminate. The Coronavirus is pedophilia Baal worship a detractor public scare scripted by the Simpson cartoon as well as other forms of medium.

1. The woman is most likely in denial

2. As has been seen time and again, not every contact with a covid case tests positive

3. Even if they showed her the paper work around her test she won't believe it.

4. Many cases are asymptomatic. El rufai and atiku's son are two classic examples, and there are cases that have tested positive for longer than that.

5. The reason for denying that she is positive? A) avoiding stigma b) she feels upset that she was placed in isolation.

My opinion.


Hmmm. That number 5 is deep. You are wise.

If you have no means of isolating the infected people in one swoop, the next sensible thing to do is to isolate the healthy ones to prevent them from contracting it while waiting for the infected ones to manifest the symptoms, fall sick or even die.

America Italy Spain China all did it. You don't know better than them.
Isolating healthy people weakens their immune system. So in the end you have more people with the virus.

Whatever the truth, Nigerians need to air on the side of caution and, as much as you are able within your ability and circumstances, please follow guidelines for keeping safe advised by the relevant authorities on the matter of Covid and related to Covid. You are better tolerating the difficulties preventative measures demand than falling victim to Covid and exposing your loved ones to the same.

I have been saying since onset that this Covid 19 in Nigeria is a big fraud. Now other governors are angry that the Federal government gave Lagos State money without giving them. Just look at what Wike is doing with Rivers State without considering people. What they are treating in Nigeria is malaria and fever. Raymond Dokpesi said what he had was malaria. I remember saying this few weeks back on a thread concerning Covid 19 being a big scam and I received countless mentions raining insults on me. I didn't even bother to reply the idiooots. Anyways the truth is already coming out gradually.

No doubt there are people feeding fat on the virus but that doesn't mean is not real, some people have strong immune system luckily they may not contract it.

But I don’t blame people saying it’s fake. If television stations can be asked to go give coverage at the isolation centers and blur the faces of patients probably people might have a change of mindset, just as BBC and CNN reports to the world about the virus
