Are they dead yet?

it is not a death sentence. It mostly takes the life of those that have low immune systems, underlining medical condition and the vulnerable ones. Please covid 19 is real.

MrWondah:
We tried to prevent this sudden hike, they thought they knew better.

People brought sentiment and politics.. They revolted against the government.

Now, we are here again!

My able governor had good intension at the early stage of this virus in Rivers. However, his approach was totally wrong and that's what led to rise case. He started fighting with people instead of the virus and politicised the fight against COVID-19. Some of governor Wike's die harder fan will not agree with this but that's the pure truth.

My beloved Rivers was just below 20 reported cases of COVID-19 when ill advised pattern of lockdown was imposed in PH. Governor Wike imposed one of the irresponsible lockdown in PH if I may have that term. I tagged it irresponsible and without proper consultation with experts because, he gave an impression that the first lockdown is indefinite and the rational thinking people were running from pillar to post to prepare for the lockdown but in just 4/5 days into the lockdown without any reasonable reason, he relaxed with impression to allow people to restock and gave 2days and what happened? People throw caution into the air and started crowding everywhere just to buy stuff. I know some family that bought 30 loaves of bread. And all of the sudden just at the die minutes, he extended the relaxation for 3 more days. Then after just 3days into the lockdown, he finally open up everywhere. My wife is into food and the, I can categorically say that people were practically on top of each other during the
lockdown purchase

Now, it's logical to conclude that all those irresponsible pattern of lockdown made the asymptomatic carriers to be spreading the virus. Those states that attempted to do something that resemble lockdown even though I didn't support lockdown without reasonable palliative were able to curb the spread. It's logical that the incubation period of this virus is 14days, what a government that consult experts ought to have done was to impose minimum of 14days lockdown if any at all.

Rivers is now in no 4 on the table overtaken states like Ogun, Edo, Osun, Kano etc who tried to imposed minimum of 14days lockdown. Even Osun with 20 cases in a day at the initial stage of this pandemic is still below 100 cases if I'm not mistaken. It's obvious that the fight against the COVID-19 by Wike wasn't properly channelled. Before you come to persecute me I'm a stakeholder in Rivers whose business is adversely affected by this pandemic. And what all must be doing is to collectively see how this pandemic will be adequately handled by government at all level to ensure the negative impact is minimise and lives are preserved.

I love my governor zeal and passion but he didn't approach the fight against this pandemic with proper consultation with experts rather he was more interested in the political fight but unfortunately the virus doesn't not know political coloration. I'm sure we are coming out of this pandemic stronger by God's grace

You think so?
Then what will u say in a state like lagos and co

Even though the people have their share of the blame, but, the pattern of Wike's lockdown was very unreasonable. If you live in PH, you will understand better. He gave impression that the first lockdown in PH is indefinite and people threw caution into the air just to stock their houses and in less than 5days, he relaxed the curfew. Don't get me wrong, the governor had good intentions but he was too political with his actions. He was more fighting people for disobedient to his executive order rather than fighting the virus.

I can tell you for free that without lockdown in PH, all he would have done was to channelled a those his efforts to the borders and give the useless police officers bumper to bumper to ensure no much entry. We wouldn't have been where we are in the state. Cross Rivers channelled his efforts to the borders and make sure the fight is less political and they are able to still sustain their status of COVID free. Even other states that started with scary figures are now babies compared to Rivers. That showed that the fight wasn't properly channelled at the initial stage

This poticians can be something else, how can you announce lockdown without giving people one day to get food stuffs. l feel for others because I have some food stuff already, just got to buy bread outside only to see the shop filled with people on last minute buying.
As a health worker in Bonny Island I agree with him that their is need to do something about Bonny lga because many people are sick with similar symptoms that smells like Coronavirus.

I tot I heard the deaths in Bonny Island is due to poisoning from the oil company?�

Major general wike has spoken.

Wike's approach was both political and patternless. In fact, I remember he hosted a certain PDP program where they disregarded social distancing in the heat of the outbreak. We read everyday how politicians and the so-called elite break COVID-19 safety protocols. Just recently, we saw Mr. Obaseki travelling from one state to the other. My point is, it's old knowledge that our leaders are jokers, to say the least.

But the citizens are hardly different from those in power. See how we throw caution to the wind every other day. Tell me if we would be different if we made it to power. The other day, I was in a bus. Most co-passengers had their masks but they didn't put it on until we got to a checkpoint. Apparently, their reason for using masks (or even seatbeklts) was to avoid harassment from the police.

Another example. The RVSG reeled out new protocols for transporters. Bottom line was, they were asked to reduce the total number of passengers. In most busses, only two persons were allowed per seat. You know what people now do? They have begun to exploit this opportunity; you'd see adults lapping adults (actually, when the bus is off the park/checkpoint, the person being lapped would just sit freely).

So, I think the citizens are as carefree as the government. It's rather sad that no amount of orientation can solve this. Our brains are just wired weirdly. If you attempt to educate people, they'd begin to play the COVID-19-is-a-hoax card. Or they'd just bring out senseless arguments. For example, see folks on this thread and elsewhere saying they haven't seen anyone infected with the virus....

So, Wike's lockdown was a step in the right direction right from the start. Its flaws, however, were lack of adequate testing, polical undertone, haphazard approach and an almost zero social package for his people.

RIVERS LOCKS DOWN BONNY LGA AND ONNE COMMUNITY

*Residents of the State to prepare for statewide lockdown if infections continue to increase unabated

Rivers State Government has imposed a total lockdown of Bonny Local Government Area and Onne Community in Eleme Local Government Areas with effect from Sunday, June 21, 2020 to check the spread of coronavirus in the State.

Consequently, all residents of Bonny Local Government and Onne community, except those on essential services and duly exempted must stay at home.

Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike announced this today in a state-wide broadcast.

"Pursuant to the fundamental objective of stopping the spread of coronavirus, we have reviewed the situation in Bonny Island and Onne Communities and come to the conclusion that a total lockdown is necessary at this time to shut down the continuing spread of the virus in these communities.

"By this measure, all shops, offices and business places must remain closed.

"All gatherings, including religious, burial and wedding activities are prohibited. All entry and exit into the two communities, except those on essential services and duly permitted, are also banned.

"Security agencies have been directed to enforce the lockdown by arresting and prosecuting anyone who dares to disobey these directives, " he said.

The Governor noted that with a total of 866 positive cases out of 2572 tested samples, the State is gradually becoming the next epicenter of the virus in the South-south region of the country.

He said that within this period, the state also recorded 30 deaths, including prominent persons while 356 persons recovered and were discharged from Treatment Centres.

According to the Governor, only today the state recorded 127 new cases leaving the Isolation and Treatment Centres overwhelmed.

As the number of new cases and deaths continue to increase, the Governor said there is no more denying that coronavirus is both dangerous and deadly.

"We cannot also deny that the transmission of the virus in our state is currently on a steep upward trend. This being so, we must all brace up to the reality of having new infections and a couple of deaths in the coming weeks and months.

"When we recognised that effective early response was key to preventing the virus from progressing deep, we introduced drastic measures to protect our citizens.

"Unfortunately, some people deliberately twisted our intentions, maligned our timely measures and exploited the attendant temporary hardship on our people to further their selfish political drives.

"Today, I am sure with the daily worrisome number of new infections and the fear of possible calamitous community transmission, everyone is now seeing the needless politicization of the fight against coronavirus.

"Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the fact that the virus can effectively be stopped from spreading further, if only we all submit to the prescribed guidelines on social distancing as a matter of strict responsibility, he stated.

Governor Wike regretted the nonchalant attitude of those who blatantly violate the rights of people to good health and public safety by refusing to comply with established guidelines.

He therefore appealed to all residents and visitors to treat the spread of coronavirus with all seriousness by
*staying at home as much as possible
*avoiding contacts with others when outside
*avoiding gathering in groups
*regularly washing hands; and
*regularly wearing face masks in public places, including transport mediums.

The Governor assured that government would continue to collaborate with well-meaning partners to stop the continuing spread of coronavirus.

He stated that this is not a time to play politics and called on residents to accept individual responsibility to reduce the risk of transmission and protect our people.

The Governor warned that residents of the State should be prepared for a statewide lockdown if the number of new infections continue to increase unabated.
