So how long do you want to keep them shut . What's the difference between reopening tertiary institutions and the public places that have been open

Naysayers won't see this . Sorry for the loss bro.

tillaman:
nothing seem to work in Nigeria no wonder they are not saying anything about the tertiary institutions

Nothing. Except when it to enjoyment. Even ASUU isn't saying anything concerning our institutions as per covid

tillaman:
E remain ASUU
Patiently waiting

ASUU has been on strike since March

Magadaska found it first

Many people stopped believing in this once it crossed 5000.. by now we are supposed to be seeing people who know people that legit had the virus.

So all the people on nairaland, twitter, other social media platforms that have said they know someone? It's the same way they dont know you too .

Observer131:
They should start relaxing interstate and flight restrictions already.

We must learn how to live with the virus. It has come to stay.

How are we going to do that?

mrkings84:
I laff, someone held a concert in the midst of coronavirus pandemic, and someone else who is aware of corana attended.



Who is to be blamed here?
The host or the attendees?

Both .

mojeed4:
So your advice to avoid follow follow is to also follow them and remove all restrictions and move freely right. Nice...

Exactly . If US and the rest of the world insisted on lockdowns till eternity, i wonder what their tunes would be . China just shut down half of Beijing but they won't see that one

Missyajoke:
Very tired gannn. Spent Six months at home already. I tire ohhb

I feel you :'

olaboy33:
This is US holding protests with more than 100,000 deaths from corona virus, yet no one is saying anything, no hiked panic.

Purely overhyped virus, malaria is more dangerous than the virus.

Virus that causes lose of taste and smell for just one week and that's all.

I weep for Africa's economy.

Follow follow no dey pay.

You think there won't be effects of these protests? So we should experience what they're going through? Sure we'll love to stage our own protests when we have 100k covid deaths. All over the world people don't care about protocols I will give you that.

newisd75:
d credibility of pcr testing device is a big problem in nigeria. d limit of detection(LOD) 4 pcr test tell u d minimum amount of RNA that d test will detect 95 out of 100 times. if d lod 4 a test is too high, patient who are infected with SARS-COV-2 may not test positive, leading 2 high rate of false negative results. if d lod 4 d test is too low, then contamination can b a problem, as d test will detect any tiniest amounts of viral RNA, leading 2 false positive test results

why is it a problem in Nigeria?

and?

solar007:
We are certainly trailing the same path as Brazil.

@ lalasticlala, dominique, Sissy3

could be but if there will be impending deaths I feel like we should be seeing some signs by now. Now to the ptf our cases are not 'unexpected' which tells me they want us to believe they got this(i don't believe)

MajesticKris:
what if china intentionally brought out this virus, to help reduce their population, but getting the side effects now...

sense no go kille mee

then they didn't do it well

redcliff:
other countries cases dey reduce drastically, some are even celebrating the end of corona in theirs, Nigeria just dey rack up the staacks... smh.

which other countries? New Zealand? . This thing isn't done with the world yet

starlightRR:
# thinking out loud

What if
COVID 19
MALARIA
Using covid 19 test kit gives same result as positive when someone has malaria?

PCR testing will detect plasmodium as SARS- Cov 2?

Investnow2017:
It is so because majority of people believe there are far bigger problems and challenges than Coronavirus that they can merely use antimalarial to treat and get about walking
I can tell you right now Coronavirus is not even in the list of things that bother many, even if they know it is real. That is how far the situation has degenerated.
The economy is damned too bad and unpromising. Some are not bothered about schools even reopening, not because they don't care about education, but just because that will introduce another financial concern to their lengthy list of economic problems - how do we pay the school fees? And private schools are going to be merciless once the curtain is thrown open for schools to resume - school fees drive is going to be aggressively pursued in order for them to meet up with salary arrears for proprietors with conscience !

That's what happens when people hear chloroquine and covid 19 . In some places they call it just a flu, here it's just advanced malaria

Investnow2017:
We can't fight this virus. South Africa has executed ONE MILLION more tests than Nigeria. Even Ghana has done four times more testing than Nigeria. We are just fortunate that the virus here is not lethal, it would have been a different story.

Yeah we just can't, at least not anytime soon. What I see seems to be playing to our favour is a large chunk of those infected are in the 20-50 age range. Though there's been a cases of deaths from that age range also globally.

I thought south Africa would begin to level out by now given the testing . Oh well people are tired of the lockdown and corona i guess

michlins:
Please what are government plans please. This is exploding already

Their plan is to scold Nigerians and hope we behave ourselves . We really need that research saying covid will be just a scratch for us, nothing to fear so we can finally forget covid ever happened

heykims:
Who's with me that the govt should open interstate border?

Abi na. Just open up the damn country. There's nothing to fear

studentofTruth:
Anybody with some knowledge of epidemiology knows that Covid-19 will eventually explode in Nigeria. My concern here is the 17.2% positive result among the tested individuals. And not as if we are good with isolation and contact tracing.

Luckily, the death rate is below 3%. Nevertheless, we can't wait for the vaccine! God help us all!

Yep Nigeria will eventually join the league of 100k as the population allows for it. Even south Africa could get there. So we should be ready to keep dealing with covid till the end of next year, if no probable vaccine arrives.

OriOko88:
Will the schools reopen again by July, with this daily rise of new cases.

I don't think so

wolfenstein:
@NCDCgov make Una no vex o, if you guys say Lagos alone has 6,611 confirmed cases and recovered is 997 while death is 82, and we have only 8 isolation centres in lag with bed capacity of 547. Where are d other ppl being isolated cos wen calculation is done, we will have 5,532 confirmed cases meanwhile the isolation centres in Lagos can only contain 4,376 ppl......

This is what journalists should be asking . I think they've said only those with moderate symptoms will be hospitalized. They should do more than just dropping figures

Pavillon:
Which station airs it?

TVC, Sunday 10pm. It would truly help if we did get more media coverage of our health response, not just for naysayers but also to let people really appreciate the work health workers are doing.

adekS1:
I av seen patients dying of coronavirus,some dead at IDH,yaba...

But wat baffles me is that is it fear thats making our media personnel not to enter the wards where symptomatic patients are kept to at least calm the nerves of doubters.

They shd wear the overall PPEs n enter those rooms cos l feel they are afraid of getting close to these patients thats why its bn difficult getting those videos n pics.

if it's a corona movie people want then they should tune in to TVC, Sunday 10pm. They're covering Kano

Pavillon:
I swear down, I read thru my previous posts, supporting this pandemic in Nigeria initially. But Im confused now, seems these people are already taking us for a cruise with this pandemic.
Imagine TVC wanted to shed more light on covid update in Nigeria and they were showing video footage from other western countries. Showing us their hospital and patients.
Like are we alright in this country.

I know corona is real and it's present in Nigeria, but this government is not been truthful with what is going on .

They are running a programme of Kano treatment centers on Sunday if people are interested

BAZ001:
600 plus is the new normal, if this continues that means 20k cases is around the corner
I hope this number will not affect the next phase of easing the lock down.

More like Nigeria joining the league of 100k cases

SmartPolician:
Is that headline supposed to be news?

What exactly do those who attend the press briefing ask them?

How come there's no update on Madagascar remedy and US drug? How effective are they?

How come no companies or labs are carrying out clinical trials here?

Does it means we are one useless 200 million people tied up in one contraption? What are the medical sciencists among us doing?

Why does it cost 40-50k to do a Covid-19 test when a Senegalese lab is doing it for a dollar or so?

Are those journalists there for clout chasing?

Thank you. I've been asking what exactly the press briefings are for if at the end of the day they don't really say anything or get asked anything. The last useful thing they did was outlining new treatment protocols for covid patients, nothing else . Like why private schools are charging for farce online learning or why schools that couldn't complete second term are moving to third already or why ASUU are still on strike and that's one just one area . They expect the cases to rise? So until all health workers become infected then we'll reach our breaking point? Provide us with useful data on our progress, No they won't

Investnow2017:
Some said Coronavirus is not lethal here because Nigeria has collected too much loan from China You know debtors live longer, because if they die your money done go. So those who lent them money will always pray for them not to die

Tbh even as this is a serious situation, some of them never fail to make me laugh .
