NCDC just heard that airports are doing test run now the cases are rising.

Which kind country be this?

Never knew the narrative would shift to Ncdc being in control of the country .

Alero3Arubi:
You do know that life has to go on.
Whether COVID-19 or not.
We cannot keep everything held down indefinitely.
The concern of governments now should be on preventive measures and practices.
Imagine schools haven't opened for over 3 months.
Law and order is going to go down the drain.
The world will plung into Anarchy.
As much as i hate this reality, we have to face it.
COVID-19 is here to stay but should we deny living simply because we do not want it to spread?
Tell yourself the hard truth.
Would you prefer the world as it is right now or the world as it was?

Preventive measures when people don't believe there's something ravaging the world . Let's start with that first .

Or limit the way you use sponge . Though it doesn't work as before for me nowadays

Fariq:
Don't say what you don't know.

So how many new tests?

AreaFada2:
Well, they also began small. And rose and rose and keeps rising.

God forbid, if the cases rise further, we won't have the capacity to isolate most infected people. Those asked to isolate at home will be going to Yaba market, Onitsha Main Market, Oja Oba, Bodija market, Ariaria Market, Zaki Biam market, Balogun market, Alaba International, Oil Mill Market PH, Kasuwar Kano and other crowded markets nationwide.

Then the thing go seriously explode.

By then, doctors will just pick race or use style commence industrial action. The jungle will well and truly mature.

I think they're still banking on having majorly mild to asymptomatic patients.

martineverest:
just over 700 cases?..what about south Africa with 7,500 new cases USA and Brazil with over 40,ooo new cases each,today?

I mean we know the only thing hampering our daily cases is testing. But lockdown with no clear cut game and strategy is just useless in Nigeria .

Majestic77:
Here in Australia, normalcy has returned. People have moved on from this virus, no one is taking it serious anymore. Although, the virus is almost eradicated here, but people don't seem to care about the so called second wave. If I knew what I know now back then (March & April), I would have use the self isolation time to enjoy myself at home and watch some Netflix movies I barely have time to watch. Back then, it was at its peak and the media over hype the virus.

Please don't fuel Nigerians to also just forget about our own covid . Australia has gotten control of it while here it's a totally different story

flyingpig:
Just this June, literally every one in my family experienced a sort of malaria symptoms. We waved it aside because its the rainy season and continued with our malaria medications.

A part of me tells me we just had the Nigerian COVID-19 and all recovered.

No obedience to COVID-19 guidelines around here at all but surprised to see people still bubbling around.

Well before now Nigeria never bothered about Health and disease statistics so we'll never know. But you are implying only symptoms people will come down with will be fever and body pain, what about others? Will malaria drugs take care of those too

For people who think US is singing songs of praises right now

'Blood brain barrier into the alveoli' .

martineverest:
absolutely....I really pity south Africa,they recorded 4th highest new cases today...behind USA,Brazil and India

I pity them for the fact that they have carried out tests than many countries and it's now their cases are really mounting

martineverest:
it's rainy season in Lagos and southern Nigeria...northern cities are very hot

I don't buy that reason. This is what gives room for doubt to set in. Did transmission stop in the state? How did they do it or testing has come to a complete halt .

martineverest:
Africa cases is increasing..south African ( 7,200) Nigeria (779 cases) and Ghana [567 cases] recovered their highest new cases today

And Nigeria with the lowest testing among the three

Confirmedzombie:
I have said over and over, total lockdown of two months is the solution to defeat this virus.

FG can forget about pallatives, let Nigerians stock their homes stay indoors and thus deadly virus will be defeated.

How can the FG reopen Airports or plan to lift interstate ban. All churches should be shut down now even mosques.

All markets, shops, restaurants should be shut.
Compulsory wearing of face masks even while at home should be enforced.

Infact a 24hrs curfew for two months should be enforced.

I foresee the youths protesting for a total lockdown for two months.

Since lockdown was lifted, the cases kept increasing. Very soon Nigeria will become the epicentre of the virus.

Your comments are funny

drake49:
Is the situation getting better or worse? I'm confuse already

what do you think

Funkyswagzz:
So y are they threatening to go on another lockdown? If they are giving treatment at homes they should collect all the data at once. They should make provision for transparency to all there treatments so we know what's going on. From the report Peter okoye gave he got treated at home. Who are those that treated him? Was he counted as those that recovered?

Thats for Lagos state and not everyone can be treated at home. The aim of a lockdown is to slow the spread which can/cant be useful depending on the situation.

Lorazepam:
That's because most of them are not In isolation centres, making it difficult for their recovery status to be actually tracked
Lagos state isolation capacity no even reach 1,000 bed spaces and they have 10,000 patients of which greater than 5000 should have recovered.
Just an opinion sha.

You are right. Ncdc data seems to only capture isolation centres. From the breakdown the LASG gave yesterday they should have more than 5000 recoveries. The 1k+ recoveries were those in isolation centres or admitted who eventually recovered.

Investnow2017:
We are opening to the outside world. Meanwhile we are locked up within. How does that work? What is this? What is strict protocol

Bro I wonder . They haven't settled us internally, they looking at outside. I wonder if we'll get barred from entering some countries like the EU is planning to do?

chukel:
it would have been nice opening up when you have responsible citizens who would take precaution. But when you have a majority who believe it's scam, then it's doom's day.

oh well according to them it's just malaria and it doesn't kill like malaria , so nothing to worry about .

What strict protocols

TheMainMan:
Are we ready?

They'll tell you yes

chukel:
Does it mean interstate restriction has been lifted? Hmm. Nigeria is about to be hit so bad.

Well it's what we want isn't it . We have so many pending issues in this country and covid won't be any different. At this point it's stay safe if you can .

Balaxx:
Maybe Oct ending

Will we agree . It actually looks like when we could get to our Covid comfort zone

Ehh Nigeria is used to these kind of pauses in education . Government don't have a plan for anything . Even Oyo state . So students have to bear this year

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 .

KingWarri:
Funny enough, there was no fumigation during the first lockdown

Imagine tertiary institutions just becoming dust. But I'm not really too hot on fumigation, given it's useful when the area has been exposed and really can't tell where and where.

Callmemike:
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.

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.

chukel:
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.

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

Rondigee:
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

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.

KingWarri:
So what do you suggest?? —Wait for a vaccine that will be out by the end of next year??
buuuuuuffffff......

A leap of faith is all we need...

Yeah you're right. Let the virus take its course. But children at isolation centres tho? . The thing is no government at any level actually has a plan for this. I mean ASUU has been on strike for months now . The whole thing has gotten funny. We're heading no where

tesppidd:
You are half way right.

I do know a lot of kids who haven't gone out of their homes for the past 3 months.
In fact many kids have not left homes.

Mostly kids from broke homes or ghetto kids have been doing all you have said above.

Of course some kids have been going out

But that number will double or triple when schools reopen.

Like I said people must go out, but the idea of the closure is to limit the number of people out of their homes as much as possible.

You should know you're talking to a lot of people tired of home so you won't really expect them to understand kids having to go to isolation centres . For a country that's low on paediatricians and what not . How I wish so many things will change about our health sector after this but Nigeria will always find a way to strike again

People acting like they don't mind kids ending up in isolation centres. Can oyo state come out and say it's well mapped out plan to manage the virus and schools? . We just have to bear with our never ready government .
