Yeepa...14,000 test in 24hrs??..when did it happen??

Backlog of samples.

What's with the deaths in Edo

Seun:
Bunch of unscientific nonsense. Many scientists believe [url=https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S1473-3099%2820%2930561-2]the virus doesn't spread much through surfaces[/url] (fomites). Even if it did, the schools have been closed for so long (several months) that any virus in them would have been deactivated by now. The virus doesn't live on tables and desks; it lives inside human beings. Teachers, students, parents, workers. This move is only going to make people feel better. It's a hollow gesture.

True. To look good for the people I think

martineverest:
exactly what I was thinking.. considering coronavirus doesn't last mm ore than 10 days on surfaces

if we're being real, disinfection especially when we don't know if there has been exposure or not is kinda useless. Or are they saying they're prepared to do this everyday

EbenezerTriumph:
I will pay you 100k if u can help me locate the nerdy girl in the picture

You know her?

Are they trying to say long distance airborne? Cos wasn't it always airborne from the beginning?

Mehn I have been watching Madagascar, their figures are not looking good at all. They are recording mores cases and deaths in a daily basis now. It seems their 'kunu' no work againooo. And the world wide figures keep surging exponentially. Might you have an idea of what is cooking in South Africa? The rate at which their figures are galloping they might soon become the Brazil of Africa! 10,800+ new cases in one day! That is exponential. While their accelerated testing might be the factor their death rate though is worrisome.
Wish TMKsouth will say something he might know.

Leave Madagascar . I don't know what changed about them, thought they were going to go the 'it's not for Africa route'. I don't know what to make of south Africa. One one hand their deaths are relatively low but on the other, their infection rates are still surging which only translate to more deaths. On becoming another Brazil, I don't know about that Nigeria probably holds that spot. Reason is Brazil was recording higher deaths right from the onset(same with the U.S) while SA's own has been around the 2.5% CFR. So they're closer to chile than Brazil I think. Also those countries(US and Brazil) happen to be among the most populated in the world( not that it plays a super dominant role). But with their government seeming unbothered by the recent trends maybe they see something we don't. At least their testing is large unlike a certain country .
I always look forward for more contributions from you for the rest of the year

This stats have become useless .

Fox12:
There’s only one thing consistent in this country;The COVID-19 figures.it keeps going up while our Naira goes down.

We lack a system

Most countries that held a lockdown,took advantage of it to flatten the curve except American whose fault was the Black lives matter protest.

Why did we go on a National lockdown for almost two months and Lagos for 3months?

We were never on lockdown

Investnow2017:
When will we hear good news in this country? If it is not mindless accident, it is accidental discharge by security operatives, if it is not armed robbers, it is kidnappers, if it not Coronavirus, it is massive heartbreaking cases of corruption. And you need to buy fuel or diesel for your generator either to charge your phone or watch this nonsense news on the TV, or hear it from a weary voice on the radio Times are hard, but Nigeria's case is different. Even news coming from abroad concerning Nigerians is virtually all bad news of some either having been arrested or of Nigerians wanted for one criminal offense or the other.
Fire service operating only when there is no fire incident, but when there is a fire incident, they will have very good and useless excuses not to appear, and all staff receive monthly salary promptly for not performing at all! And along with that multiple ghost workers! And Nigeria is the only country I know where ghosts receive salaries, allowances and promotion! Ghosts!
More annoying is when for days you have had no Nepa and the next announcement you hear is that the National grid is down and that there will be blackout for some days - as if there had been light previously
A country where a politician will donate ropes for tying goats as a constituency project How did we get here? I wonder what is there for future generations - men of 80 years and above are getting appointments in a society where over 80m are jobless youths!

Man this country just happens to exist. It's sad to think that even in the future Nigeria will still be broken .

Sososo:
What's with the new trend of governor's and their aides testing positive ayam not understanding

They have quick and easy access to tests

The institution is closed just that staff that died and one of those that tested positive are health workers.

Thank you

Aren't institutions supposed to be shut?

Depends on why you want to visit

Nothing dey happen my brother, this thing is not as tough in Nigeria as government is trying to paint it.I have strictly observed that 9 out of 10 death if not all is now link to COVID19.Does that means one no longer die of other sickness again?Has other sickness now gives way for COVID19 to reign only these days?

You work in the morgue?

Good luck to them
I wonder who has the final say concerning schools, SG or FG cos I remember in March when FG ordered closure of schools some states were announcing their own closures . And isn't SS3 exams(WASSCE) supposed to be uniform for the entire west Africa?

englishmart:
When the cases was 75 only, our company shut down. Two weeks later there was a nationwide lockdown. Now that the lockdown is really supposed to begin, we're opening schools, churches and places of gathering with no proper faculties to curb the spread. Nobody is even scared anymore. There's fire on the mountain, but no one is running. God help us

Well maybe it's cos they never cared about our health sector before now

gurunlocker:
So that's how this 2020 will just waste like that.....

You are just realizing . We'll spend the year observing a virus

sonnie10:
I am not an economist but I know that debit means you owe. And when you owe, you must pay with interest.

Now this is where its alarming: if the interest you pay is more that your total income. So you work just to service your loan.

It gets to a point where you can no longer be productive because you can't keep up due to exhaustion (in this case depilated infrastructures).

Then, the obvious would happen. Your debtors would now take over and subject you to all sorts.

So are all this 'country X will take over country Y' talk possible in running into the worst debt crisis or it's more than that?

sonnie10:
Why do they have to send specimen to Abakaliki for the test? UCTH is bigger and more equipped with abundance of medical personnel on ground for any kind of lab testing. The first University in Nigeria to have a Medical Laboratory Science as a degree program. UCTH has been turning out Microbiologists in droves since 1979, why can't they be put to work now.
They even have a Biotech (B.Tech) program now.

For the same reason the whole state doesn't have a testing laboratory. Nigeria

Was it antibody testing they did for the staff? What about the 3 patients?

Investnow2017:
Do you notice dear that the world recorded it's HIGHEST daily cases yesterday, a whopping 208,000+ new cases with the US, INDIA and SOUTH AFRICA recording their highest daily tally too. It seems the pandemic is rather gaining strength. It would seem the last has not been heard about this virus.
Africa now records nearly same number of cases daily as Europe, although this figure is largely shut by South Africa and Egypt. Cameroon has not reported for the past few days, hope all is well or they have simply given up. I see that happening in some African countries going forward because the cost of managing this pandemic is not sustainable in the long run.
The world is in a deep shit, and not much is being done to call China out for a serious talk or have their economy abandoned to them. Sad really.

While a large of that can be attributed to the Americas, it's worrying for South Africa tbh. I feel like another wave in Europe could hit again cos this thing just finds a way to spread. According to what I read somewhere an epidemic of this sort might require a 2 months+ strict lockdown and no country will be able to sustain that socially and economically.

Africa might have to carry on with 'no test no case' principle unless a miraculous bailout arrives . I think so many African countries are still on the 'it's not for us train' . Nigeria here we just seem clueless . Like there's nothing stopping us from becoming a world hot-spot down the line and the PTF know this

Funny thing with this china thing is she and her neighbors were able to get a hold of it on time , Europe was the real distributor of this problem .

SmartProf:
Any wise individual will take all precautionary measures regardless of what position any government is claiming, or what the public perception generally is. Afterall if unfortunately you contract it, you will be left to battle through your recovery all alone. The argument on whether there are cases in all Nigerian states or if the virus in Nigeria is a scam or not are irrelevant

other countries are arguing of way out. We over here are arguing whether or not it's in Nigeria

2packer:
My problem with the conclusion that ages 20 to 40 spread the virus is that a whole government funded body can't tell us how they carried out their analysis as well as and how these category of persons spread the virus either knowingly or unknowingly. So that both young and old know how to take precautions. NCDC PLEASE TELL US HOW TO SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD NOT JUST THAT WE ARE THE ONES SPREADING.

Am not doubting your report but please break it down so that we know how we are actually SPREADING the virus and also learn how to avoid infecting others.

Its simple. A large majority of those infected are in the 20-50 age range. Also since the reproduction rate is more than one then they'll definitely end up infecting someone else, in worse case someone vulnerable

destiny333:
We went into total lockdown with less than two thousand cases. But with over twenty seven thousand cases, we've relaxed almost all the lockdown.
Have we learnt to live with the virus, or we are just copying other nations.?

You want them lockdown again? . Some countries are reimposing lockdowns if we just want to copy

authority2006:
Nigerians are just too stubborn, most especially my Muslim brothers. We tried to implement distancing in the mosque, the youth refused to comply. Then we said that since everyone has face masks, let it be your ticket to enter the mosque. They agreed but wouldn't comply.
You would see someone sneezing inside the taxi but would rather use his face mask to cover his jaw instead of his nose.

It's not just a Nigerian thing. I mean I never imagined a time would come when masks would be part of our daily attire. Nigeria's situation is more difficult cos of the availability and willingness to get tested. Here we're still testing mostly case definitions. So imagine a country with this kind of attitude of not going for testing, no precautions and then calling it a hoax.
