Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones. |
klark3:What safety measures have been put in place to safeguard the lives of food suppliers and vendors? What about safety kits for them? I just want other States to take note and work towards this to prevent a catastrophe. |
klark3:Did you read actions going on in other States? Must everything be about the President? Some States have task force breaking shops selling food and restaurants. |
klark3:These countries are on lock down but the medical and food supply chains are going on. The supermarkets are on. They have strict guidelines for it to take place. It is not just prison yard for everyone to starve to death and no medicine for babies. |
Even Lagos with their 10 billion loot is yet to start widespread testing for Covid-19 infected victims. |
All these social distancing and lock down means nothing if we are not testing and isolating infected ones. Then we can go on with life with high safety guidelines especially for those within the medic and food supply chain. It is baffling if we feel we can lock the virus down. Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones. |
Obiano is right. Other States need funds to prevent and stop the spread of the virus in their States. They need to equip hospitals. They need gears for health workers. They need sanitizers and masks for citizens. There is need to set up testing labs and provide testing kits for large population to determine the amount of spread. Sharing money to only Lagos and Abuja is nothing short of idiocy. With the way the virus spread in a country as large as America, it should make us concern with the possibility of a widespread of the virus. Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones |
To the best of my knowledge, little or no testing is going on in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Bayelsa and Delta States. Yet most of the National revenues came from this States. The neglect is too much. We are talking of a virus that has taking over 10,000 lives in Italy alone in few months. We need urgent testing for Covid-19 to know the true magnitude of the spread in the country. |
We need testing in large amount all over the nation to determine the gravity of things. We need more testing labs in the country. We need a medical treatment procedure like those going on in other countries. We need protective gears for health workers. We need protective masks for citizens. Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones. |
galaxiesss:Are you minding them? The Food and Drug Administration on Sunday issued an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, decades-old malaria drugs championed by President Donald Trump for coronavirus treatment despite scant evidence. The agency allowed for the drugs to be "donated to the Strategic National Stockpile to be distributed and prescribed by doctors to hospitalized teen and adult patients with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible," HHS said in a statement, announcing that Sandoz donated 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to the stockpile and Bayer donated 1 million doses of chloroquine. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/03/29/fda-emergency-authorization-anti-malaria-drug-155095 |

You people are more interested in Buhari restricting movements instead of asking for testing kits in large amount, protective kits and medicines. Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones. |
Sir, I am more interested in the moves you have made to provide testing kits, isolation centres, protective kits and medicines to keep your congregation alive. We need testing kits in large amount. We need testing labs across the Nation. Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones. |
When it is time to steal, you people steal in billions. See what you are donating. We needs loads of testing kits around Nigeria. No testing labs in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Bayelsa and Delta States. We need testing, isolation and treatment for infected ones. We need medicines and protective gears for medical staff. We need masks and sanitizers for the populace in large amounts. Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones. |
Lock down means nothing if we are not testing and isolating infected ones. |
The talk now is how are we going to test Nigerians in large numbers to determine how far the spread has gone. How are we going to protect health workers with safety gears and kits. What local provision is taking place to keep people safe. No general masks. |
Dino Melaye should tell us what steps he has taken to protect his constituents before criticising Buhari. What moves he has taken to provide testing kits. Do they have isolation centres and treatment protocol? If not Dino should hide his head in shame. Social distancing means nothing without testing. |
Farki:Soper later said he was aware of research in Europe indicating that typhoid could have “asymptomatic carriers” — people walking around shedding germs who never appeared to get sick. He suspected Mallon might be one of them. All in all, Soper claimed she had caused two dozen illnesses and one death. In March 1907, Soper found the Park Avenue house where Mallon was then employed and demanded that she give him samples of her feces, urine and blood. She threw him out of the house. Next, he went to health department officials with his theory. Eventually, she was dragged kicking and cursing from the home by police and forced to give specimens at a hospital. She was full of the typhoid bacteria. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/03/17/typhoid-mary-st-patricks-day-coronavirus/%3foutputType=amp Does that remind you of something? Covid-19. Never stop someone from thinking. |
Instead of Buhari to talk of wide-spread testing, he talking of school feeding programme. If the virus can spread so fast in the whole of America, Nigeria is too small for it to spread. We need enormous numbers of testing kits and safety kits. Social distance means nothing without testing. |
Farki:Given that COVID-19 may include stomach and bowel symptoms, gastroenterologists may consider the coronavirus illness when evaluating patients with GI complaints along with upper respiratory symptoms, researchers said https://www.medpagetoday.com/gastroenterology/generalgastroenterology/85471 With the particular treatment on trials, Chloroquine (malaria treatment) and Azithromycin (Typhoid treatment) is being used. I have every right to think and suspect. That is what researching is all about. Not caging the mind. |
Means nothing if we are not testing and isolating infected ones. |
Farki:I hope you read believe. I feel is an engineering that used the way Malaria and typhoid work to make the virus. I believe it is an engineered virus. I did not say it is. It is my belief. Okay? |
Dino melaye should tell us the number of tests that have happened in his constituency for Covid-19. |
rirri828:I do not know of the others but I believe Covid-19 is a bioengineered and weaponized malaria and typhoid virus. |
Kokoebapluse:Do not mind them. They are only thinking of how to siphon money instead of thinking of how to start testing, tracing, isolating and treating. Social distancing will not help if we are not testing and isolating infected ones. We can not trace contacts without testing infected ones. |
Social distancing will not help if we are not testing and isolating infected ones. We can not trace contacts without testing infected ones. |

olumide4christ:America still has one of the highest testing programs going on. America has spent a lot for response. Even after all that, it is not enough. Let alone Nigeria who does not even have a healthy health care system and the President is not addressing the little to no testing taking place. |
ThierryJay:Canada released a billion dollars, that is over 400 billion naira for intervention. They can talk about that. America released over that earlier and then set interventions in Trillions of dollars. They can talk about that. These countries already have response systems set up already before the intervention funds. In our case we do not have testing kits, safety gears for health workers. We do not have adequate testing and we are channeling money for programmes when we do not have enough for even health care workers. When will we talk of medicine and ventilators? |
mickeymimi:It is clear. Restructure the country, they said no. They want to rule everything by force when they are so incompetent to manage their bedrooms. |
themanderon:As in... Even if they had Quarantined incoming people for 14 days and tested them, we would have been a whole lot better since January. |
Well equipped and a foreigner had to donate testing kits. Shameless people. |
