You mean for the first time when other states are counting hundreds and thousands kogi and cross river are still on single digits, if other governors stood their ground against this fraud maybe our national figure would not be up to hundred.

As if those governors stood for other things .

Cross River and Kogi should continue not testing

Good development. If only there was a way to know who kind of symptoms one will come down with

A vaccine come out in a year?
Vaccines for an unknown virus, let stop deceiving ourselves, if they discover a vaccine this year or early next year then this virus could be made up.

I remember Boris Johnson reminding the world to take their minds of any vaccine, from what i have seen, the virus might just mutate and die away for now, but a vaccine might take more than 2 if nt 3 years.

I said probably. I know it's possible the vaccine may never come at all. But considering the global race for this particular one, there's a chance it does come around albeit not this year or next. So all in all, we should stay alert.

Forgness:
The truth is bitter, Lagos needs to be totally lockdown again. As I am posting, I am not happy myself cos it is affecting me. We need to face the reality fast before this thing gets out of hand. The grace we have is that it is not a deadly virus like Ebola. With the guidelines given and not with a total lockdown, we can beat it; unfortunately, the numbers of goats in Nigeria are far too many than humans. The goats in Lagos are super stubborn. Trust me, it may take the army to parade the streets of Lagos to mercilessly beat these goats inside their homes like how the Italians did. And you can read comments from the goats on front page Covid-19 news..

Please, join me in the prayer that Covid-19 should visit the households of all those who looted our fund. We pray it locates them from Aso Rock to national assembly, down to state assemblies, to all individuals who participated in looting our fund. It should not spear the wicked ones that looted the special donated fund for Covid-19 also. That's all.

Lagosians, be ready for round 2 lockdown. Let us face it and save ourselves.

Should we consider a lockdown? Well maybe in some parts. Will it work though? No . Like the commissioner said Lagosians should brace for 2 more months . If one gets the virus then it's your time. Notice what's happening with highly populated countries?

Spysees:
With all due respect; y'all Nigerians are friggin' lifeless; y'all keep on sayin' sh¡t; y'all said lockdown wasn't workin' for y'all; we freed y'all, but y'all failed us; y'all ain't keepin' your friggin' distances, y'all threw your face masks away. We have no choice, but to strike you with a fresh lockdown! ....

You American?

Four local Government Areas that include Aniocha North, Patani and two others are yet to record any COVID-19 cases so far.

Why is this so hard for states to do . Why can't they provide more detailed data rather than waiting for ncdc to announce numbers . Just gives doubters things to chew on . These aren't even enough cos we need to know how many are actually on admission.

Civeli:
Covid 19 has become like other ailments like, malaria, yellow fever and so on.

Those aren't as contagious as this. If covid was just that the world would have moved on by now.

soft101:
Abeg how close are we towards getting the vaccine or drugs for this Chinese disease? God have mercy o!

Probably a year for the vaccine, earliest end of the year. So 2020 will mark a year of observing a virus

comshots:
Some states are not on lockdown but they don't have coronavirus cases and deaths like Lagos,Abuja,and Ogun state that fg declared a total lockdown.The North are not on a lockdown.They are even violators of social distancing.Yet coronavirus cases are not reported there.Lagos who has been on a lockdown for 3 months always comes first with coronavirus figures.Sanwo olu has received donations running into billions from fg, corporate bodies and individuals.Instead,it is expired and contraband rice that the governor could afford to distribute to people who were locked in their homes.What about the billions of naira he has collected so far?Abi snake don swallow am?

Lagos?Lockdown? 3 months? Where

Investnow2017:
What will a lockdown achieve at this point with our modus operandi? That would be most unwise to do for a struggling economy like ours. A lockdown at this stage will impact negatively on the ability of many to fight off the virus as their immunity would have been compromised via poor nutrition, thus leading to a spike in our mortality record. We must not tamper with whatever nature is using to help us fight this Covid-19, a lockdown now will be counter-productive, except it is a deliberate isolated, targeted shutdown that must be met with an aggressive contact tracing and testing - and I don't see that happening going by our antecedent

True. Nigeria has chosen the let the virus take its course route . Don't want to become a statistic though

Ghostmode2two:
I am hearing of a 2nd total lock down as the covid19 is shooting up on daily basis through community spreading. I feel for this country

where did you hear that?

GOOD NEWS
Death Rate Is Reducing Even Though Virus Spread is Accelerating:
It took the world about 100 days to go from 0 cases to 1 million detected cases. Then:
1 to 2 mil: 12 days
2 to 3 mil: 13 days
3 to 4 mil: 12 days
4 to 5 mil: 11 days
5 to 6 mil: 10 days
6 to 7 mil: 8 days
7 to 8 mil: 8 days
8 to 9 mil: 6 days
The pandemic is accelerating but lower fatalities.

Discoveries and research into treatment has definitely helped but...that's when the health system isn't horribly whelmed. A large number of our cases are in the 20-50 age range so maybe that's a good thing. Can't believe we'll spend the whole year observing these numbers

ODJ124:
so Oyo state cases have been increasing since they
decided to open school next week.. .... hmm..


Northern State cases has reduced drastically...
maybe it's the drug from Madagascar... abi.

God is watching..

tell makinde to stop testing . No test, No case , he can reopen schools

Gibsonho:
Bello is trying to prove there is no covid-19, no testing is going on here in kogi. aside schools that are locked, activities is going on like nothing is happening. I see Kogi overtaking Kano in few weeks time

No test, no cases, no overtaking Kano

What do they mean by believed to have recovered . 2000 persons don't want to go to isolation centres? Why? Are they asymptomatic? The ones that provided false info what are they doing about that? Just letting them roam around . This is the kind of breakdown we need now and then. How many of these cases are actually sick and need due treatment.

CrestMan:
Hope you would have responded this same way if it was a Church crusade that held in Liverpool last night? Otherwise, you're a big HYPOCRITE!

you obviously don't know my stance on this and couldn't read my sarcasm .

You've raised a good point but who cares . Trophy > Pandemic

Their is no passion anymore in lecturing because the remuneration is very very poor.
A country whose senators earn the highest in the world and lecturers/teachers earn the lowest has already set its priority on failure and mediocrity.

is there even passion to learn?

Andrew13:
The way this cases are increasing so, I see another lockdown loading. So unfortunate

This ones that are scared to lockdown again . I partly blame this on the issue of legality on declaring a lockdown in the first place.

govomotors:
This will be a hard nut to crack, here are my reasons.

People attend wedding and burial ceremony in Nigeria, majority are not invited. As a result of hunger, several people move from street to street looking for where there are burial or wedding reception.

Secondly, it will be impossible to submit names of those invited. Example: if you invite 50 person most likely 15 will attend plus additional friends that will accompany them to the occasion.

You will also notice that 50 uninvited guest will attend the occasion just for a plate of rice and one or two bottles.

The government suspend burial and marriage/wedding now.

Government cutting corners and end up looking stupid while at it. That's how another governor allows free movement Monday to Friday and the curfew weekends

Confirmedzombie:
During the periods of lockdown, the cases weren't this high.

Only a further enforcement of two months lockdown will curb the spread.

I will never give up calling for total lockdown of two months until the FG implements it.

We dont need to depend on the govt to stock our home.

Citizens of other countries where such was implemented never got any pallative from there govt.

Nigeria cant be an exception.

Nah. Lockdown when there's no strategy won't work. Lockdown won't work, it didn't work before and definitely not now . Nigeria is obviously not ready to tackle this thing so we just have to accept that . I mean they told us they've identified the high risks LGs accounting for 60% of our cases and what has been done about that . How many people are even presenting for tests so that we get this over with and move on . I laugh because of how I see people acting like there's nothing . Hopefully the assertion that we're too strong for covid is true else i don't know . The sooner we start getting prepared to get left behind on covid the better. Look at how countries are planning on banning US travellers

DrNueLpureHoney:
Cross-River state governor (His Excellency Benedict Ayade) is a patriotic citizen that have refused to join the Looters- Club

oh didn't know there's no looting in cross river

Confirmedzombie:
The cases kept increasing day by day and our govt have kept mute.
What is hard for the govt to lockdown all states. Many countries defeated the virus through a Two months lockdown.

The FG should apply same. Instruct all citizens to stock their homes fully them enforce a ruthless Two months lockdown.

I will keep advocating for a two months total lockdown until govt implements it.

Nigerians must learn to bear pains in order to defeat this virus.

I may have no other choice than to mobilize our Nigerian youths to go out and protest for a total lockdown.

. There's nothing stopping the spread. So either you stay safe or become an unlucky statistic

thesicilian:
Who do these politicians think they're deceiving? The only reason any state will not have new cases right now is if they've stopped testing.

exactly like zamfara

SirWarLock, TMKsouth,
What is driving SA figures, just in case you might have an idea? The infection figures and those of fatality are not looking good. You notice also that SA records it's highest daily tally today - 5,688/103 - just as Africa registers its highest figure in one day 11,000+
A bit of profiling the angle affecting the spike will be appreciated. Does the black community account for the surge? Even more concerning is the mortality rate compared to other African nations.
Will appreciate if you can share your findings please. Regards.

I think TMKsouth should be the proper person to say for sure. I don't know how daily life in SA is but this pandemic has made rethink the popular saying 'it's a small world'. From what I can infer, if you can't effectively test and trace massively and effectively at the beginning, you're going to have problems at the end. If I recall India had this problem at the beginning. At to fact that peculiarities of people give room for the virus to spread eg markets, transport, busy towns and cities(worse for African countries). Also maybe down the line they could investigate to see when the virus actually arrived there, maybe asymptomatic spread was under way before any form of lockdown.

Like I've said before, as long as we don't know what the virus is doing when it's not jumping from person to person or how long it takes for someone to be contagious after contracting, we'll keep going in circles.

hardbody:
Honestly when I took time today to look at passengers inside buses I just told myself that there could only be one truth...there is either no covid, or the one in Nigeria is different or Nigerians will still die in their numbers later. Buses were carrying full loads of passengers with very few people wearing face masks...

Makes me wonder , do we have a different form of covid-19 in Nigeria as different from the ones in Italy, Brazil and US?

Those are countries that actually have statistics and records.

BaddyB:
So because Oyo wants to open school ..they are now Bringing up numbers to make them not to..
