Tell me what you know

3. An NCDC trained health worker uses a swab inserted through the nose and throat to collect samples to be tested for covid 19.

Through the nose?

What the heck!?!?!?

Educative.

Seun:
Thanks for this thread, dingbang. Can we have a video showing the entire process?

well, i will relate with the team on that, once approved, it will be on front-page.

Shebi dem say if you get Malaria of Typhoid fever and dem do you the Covid-19 test, e go read Positive. Why?

I got tested for covid while I had presence of malaria and typhoid in my system and it came out negative. You people should not live off hearsays.

emusmithyy:


Isn't this painful? Seeing it makes me feel somehow.

no it is not but you will feel a slight discomfort but it doesn't take more than 3seconds

duality:


Through the nose?

What the heck!?!?!?

lol don't be scared

Very long o. They warned me beforehand that I'd feel some discomfort but I should not worry. No analgesic at all although it's not a painful procedure but for the long thing being pushed into your nose and the moment it absorbs mucus, feels like one is inhaling some solution. They also collected my sputum.

manitoba:


How long is the swab ? We saw a very long stick being pushed into a woman's nose as a way of obtaining samples.

That alone will freak me out.

Do they give any analgesic before being tested?

I can't just even stand the test. Lol

NCDC: 12 Things To Know About How Covid-19 Tests Are Carried Out.

1. You don't have to pay a dime to get tested.

NO 13, is covid 19 treatment free?

TallPck1:
No one would wake up one day and voluntarily wants to get tested for Corona virus.

I did bro, got tested and result came.out negative, it is a sure way of prevention. About twenty something thousand tests have been done, do you think some.of.them.were.compelled There are some persons that understand the principle of health is wealth.

Lilimax:
Shebi dem say if you get Malaria of Typhoid fever and dem do you the Covid-19 test, e go read Positive. Why?

for Christ sake malaria is caused by plasmodium.spp, typhoid is caused by salmonella spp, neither of them.is a virus, let get this straight please don't listen to them, stay safe and tell your loved ones and people around you.

fake

dingbang:
maybe maybe, you just need to be seized and injected with the virus, so that you will be sure 100percent if covid 19 is a scam or not

sharaaaaap!
it's a scam!!!

Ncdc pays some people to come online to post bunkum. They're many on this forum
the aim is to invoke fear in the citizens and further perpetuate their scam.

So the result giving to us daily is not real with the date on it? Since it takes 48hours for the result to be ready, God!!!

rubbish I called them to come n pick me dey refuse giving fake excuses like did u travel to lagos my answer was no, but I travelled to kwara n minna Niger state , they told me is not ppl like me dey are looking for n dey dropped the call

n u expect us to believe u ppl

Burger01:
SCAM! They will do anything to keep Nigeria and Nigerians "locked down". This coronashit is nothing but Flu of different variant. Instead of the govt to work towards vaccine they keep scamming the people locking down unnecessarily. I am so tired of this shhheet!

Too many uneducated folks on this forum. I can't believe that there are still people who think that covid-19 is a scam. So the whole world is being scammed. Wonderful.

Very informative.

First of, the only way to identify 2019-nCoV properly is by studying its viral genome sequence.

To verify that an illness is the new coronavirus, scientists must first gather viral samples from a person by taking swabs of saliva or mucus from their nose and mouth.
The mucus then gets shipped off (typically on ice packs) to a lab for testing.

Tests are being done, with a "reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction" test, or RT-PCR, which can convert RNA into DNA and amplify genetic sequences, making them easier to study and compare.

Now tests can be dispatched to determine whether someone has the new coronavirus, in a kind of genetic-sequence matching game.

Just like any other test, results could still be prone to manipulation.
So, it doesn't debunk the theory that there might be false cases in Nigeria.

This is apt.
I've always wanted to ask, what's your field of study? I see you commenting virtually on most topics discussed here.

Not saying is scam, its been overblown in Nigeria is my point. Just where are those figures coming from. They are just noisy data

Em... It's kind of complicated, my head is literally everywhere now

If it was years back though, before all the branching and developing and learning and what-not, I am into Engineering primarily.
Software-ish.

Thanks, BTW

I wonder y Nigerian mad people are nt been tested positive in Nigeria
Scam every where

easily said than prove, ignorance will always remain and in a painful manner, I have already liberate myself from all the inferiority that you and your generation will soon experience. I lose nothing I win it all. for myself and to everyone that can raise his head above your stupid religion

Thanks for such helpful post. A of people know are afraid of this virus and these tests are very important to be done correctly. In April my mom had high temperature and we decided to do a test, he has problems with heart and coronavirus could be dangerous for her. We have been waiting result for 2 weeks. I don't think that it us okay. I am really happy that now it is possible to do instant antigen test and to make sure in 15 minutes if you are or not ill. It is possible to order on https://www.confirmbiosciences.com/covid19-sars-antigen-rapid-swab-tests/ . I did it yesterday, I have no antigens, it means that I still could fall ill

I wish someone else could send me his opinion..

Aaronbee7:
I got tested on the 20th of April and they said my result will be ready in 3 days but I got a text on the 30th (after 10 days) and it's Negative. I can't explain the fear that gripped me coupled with the thought of people I might have endangered within the waiting period but las las na God win.
May you never be in any condition that will shake your faith in Jesus name.
This pandemic will pass soon and we'll all bounce back. Read Psalms 91 to boost your faith always.

Please did they give you any paper containing your test result?

Did you make any payment?
