Ayade No Gree,

Las las. We shall overcome this pandemic insha Allah.

The thing has finally crossed the river through hired canoe �

nicho450:
I have never seen any corona virus patient before. Can you please send me pics?

Same Nairalanders that supported that people who lose their senses of taste and smell are COVID-19 patients.....

I will never follow the multitudes to believe unverified things again.

Decibel:
A targeted propaganda to rubbish Prof. Ayade's efforts to make Cross River a corona virus pandemic free. Hope the CMD of UCTH who is under FG payroll has not been induced to report a case of Malaria/Typhoid as covid-19.

My Brother I Smell Propaganda Oo And Fake Claim. Typhoid And Malaria Don Turn To Covid

demzey:
Hmm so the patient contacted the virus and got discharged since lastweek? How come ncdc never updated their data?

Is ncdc doing trial and error or what?

No NCDC isnt doing trial and error, since Crossrivers state insists it doesn't have Corona virus, NCDC decided to let them enjoy their covid-19 free status. Shay the mumu health workers were playing along? Why are they now discovering covid 19 patients? Let them not even control movement in and out of their hospitals, na cough go kill them. Nonsense people!

Cross River state government should be applauded because his recommendations has worked. Apart from this patient nobody has died in cross River of the virus. And we cannot say that since then people who probably may have COVID 19 have not entered the state. If it was possible for him the lock the state with a key we wouldn't have COVID 19 there so he should be applauded than criticised.

It is not possible that people have not entered that place from then till now

As a pharmacist working in Calabar . I am dismayed by the attitude of the state government. With the recent complaints from people having "new strain of malaria" it shows we are playing politics with the whole pandemic. I have attended to over 50 of these cases and most of my patients enquire to know more. But I have nothing to say! . All we are asking is for the state government to foster testing and stop all these media stupidity. They have nothing to lose being labelled a covid 19 state and they have a lot to lose pretending the state is covid 19 free

Jamesbiodun:
the governor should seal the hospital for working with NCDC rubbish

Why you dey provoke.

UCTH is under the federal Ministry of health.The working Minister for health has been rooting out Corona virus cases everywhere,if possible,in Sahara Dessert.So,UCTH bows to pressure.
But,how come the teaching hospital had to wait till the patient was discharged before the public was told there was a confirmed case?
Another question:How come the patients got well within one week,as is unobtainable since the emergence of covid-19.

Meanwhile,the Cross River State government has refused to confirm the case.

Something like this happened in Akwa Ibom and Kogi states

There's something not clear at all.
This is the very reason over 70% of Nigerians do not believe in the Corona virus matter.

It is well

to those who know nothing about microbiology and public health, he sounded intelligent. To those of us in the field, it was a disgrace having the total nonsense he said, come from a professor of immunology. Means the educational background of a lot of our professors need to be questioned.

I don't know about you, but what he said made perfect sense to me. If you want to counter it here, let's set the table. State a specific thing he said that is "total nonsense" and disprove it.

d governor of CRS may still have d power not 2 allow coronavirus data 2 b sent 2 ncdc 4 an update on their life score table, in that case it will even b better

No it's simply no testing, no cases. Kogi is doing the same thing . If states were able to seal their borders airtight maybe we would have gone far in tackling this thing.

Honestly like me he probably just refreshed his blood and body fluids physiology cos some things sounded so simplistic

So treating covid is as simple as extraction and mass production of antibodies . It's that simple and the world is still stuck in this mess? . He said PCR is used for genomic yada yada and DNA sequencing, if you sequence the DNA or RNA rather of the virus then doesn't that mean it was present in the sample taken . Well he did bring up how useful masks can be so I'll give him that.

NwokoloOwa:
I can't really understand this struggle by the state government to prove CRS is COVID-19 free even at the detriment of the public. As a student of science and expert in disease surveillance epidemiology we know it just smacks of self deceit. So if you are free, so what? The CRSG should better allow testings to go on.

This attitude is so nauseating

They probably don't see it as a big deal. I mean it will threaten this year's carnival . See I can make my own theories .

You will see the first person when you test positive, and don't forget to announce your status on CNN.

Sudden loss of smell and taste IS a symptom of upper respiratory viral infection, of which Sars-Cov-2 is a current spreading strain. There have been confirmed studies supporting it from several countries. Most of the people complaining of sudden anosmia have never experienced it in their Life earlier. I'm talking of total loss.... I put my nose on a gallon full of fuel and smelled NOTHING. It was like water. Over a week later, the senses returned.

Some of the folks saying such are even carrying the virus unknowingly themselves.

let's take the PCR machine. He said it's not reliable and it's not for diagnostic purpose but for research. He totally goofed. PCR has almost 100% specificity and almost 100% sensitivity. This means it's able to detect every sample that is affected as positive and able to exclude every sample that is not affected as negative. This is because it works on identifying the correct genomic sequence of the virus in the sample. So it is highly reliable and used as a confirmatory test. It's the technology applied in paternity test. It's the confirmatory test for HIV where doubt exists. So it's almost 100%reliable. Rapid diagnostic test is not. Read up PCR and you will see it's mainly used for diagnosis more than research. I don't even want to venture into the nonsense he said about serum and vaccine. It was a shame.

it's a purported plan by the federal government to ensure they drag my dear Cross River State into covid-19 mess. But, God won't allow it!
is just a mere propaganda, disregard such please����

And I hope that you know that Crfiss river state is surrounded by 4 to 5 states that have recorded covid-19 cases of recent apart from cameroun, and there's entry and exit without any strict restrictions at the borders. This is beyond a case of sabotage but observing all necessary safety guidelines because Covid-19 is evidently in CRS.

Confusion headline everywhere.. a patient test positive... So does that at isolation center.. what do u call them?
