Tell us the name of the hard work. Third class geography graduate.

This comedian is here again.

He has never been part of solution but problem.

Remain jobless since APC sacked him. Always looking for crumbs to feed on lazy ass

Can someone tell this empty brain that the whole world is already in recession as a result of this Pandemic. Even the mighty America now have about 10mill jobless and still remains the highest indebted nation min world

The way imf was warning Nigeria about too much debt few months ago, you will think they really care and will never approve one for us.

However, they were only pained that Nigeria and Africa is turning to China instead of remaining imf slave forever. You will see how their narrative rhetoric will change digitally

I only hope punch - PDP and their Ipob miscreants will be happy now when the Taskmaster imf come up with usual conditionalities meant impoverished Africa

Which one, the idead pig? is he sending message from the grave?

Buhari will never give you yam to eat

Coke head. NEXT pls

There is nothing anybody can say about this guy that change the fact that he played god and was power drunk

Used unintelligent argument with distorted facts to sack Fowler in order to fill the space with a northerner. Oil was selling at below half what it sold during gej era and you are querying Firs for r short in revenue generation. How can you compare salary of MD with that of a messenger. Higher tax during recession when company were struggling to survive and many closed down?

Many wealthy and citizens and politicians were made to pay tax through compulsory self assessment. First of its type in Nigeria. Thanks to Fowler initiative

Secondly, what was the reason a Cos had to travel to Germany to negotiate power contract. Kickback, estacode or what?

Thirdly, he'a bully who even ensure the president family is messed up. Leaking confidential memo to the press for his selfish reasons.

Everybody needs to learn from his experience. If he's done well, there's no need for all image laundering after his death.

With this info we need to go farming. At least plant to feed your family.

There's abundant of land everywhere.

Meanwhile UK is hypocrites, trying to shift focus from Corona virus that is killing thousands on their land. What's the evidence they have better healthcare

SenecaTheYonger:
Good. Africans and low intelligence. Keep thinking the virus doesn't affect you because of your skin color, while everyone with an intelligence higher than a monkey is isolating themselves - but keep partying and socializing becAuse you're black.

Poverty and careless lifestyle is the major culprit

Fadomero:
This ix not about black or white is about us as human may God help us

Yes every human is being affected, however statistics like this call for our reflection.

Poverty and useless lifestyle can make you unnecessarily vulnerable.

Statistics don't lie.


It means black man blood is no more resistant to the virus

Also note underlying health issues like obesity

Stark statistics from Chicago health officials have underscored the heavy toll of coronavirus on black Americans.
Black Chicagoans account for half of all coronavirus cases in the city and more than 70% of deaths, despite making up 30% of the population.
Other cities with large black populations, including Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans and New York, have become coronavirus hotspots.
The US has recorded nearly 370,000 virus cases and almost 11,000 deaths.
Globally there have been nearly 75,000 deaths and more than 1.3m cases total.

What do Chicago's statistics show?

As of 5 April, 1,824 out of Chicago's 4,680 confirmed Covid-19 cases were black residents, said city officials on Monday.
That compared with 847 white, 478 Hispanic and 126 Asian Chicagoans.
Chicago has seen a total of 98 deaths as of Sunday, with 72% of them black residents.

The disparity is reflected across the state, where black people account for 41% of Covid-19 deaths, despite making up 14% of the population of Illinois.

Chicago public health commissioner Dr Allison Arwady told reporters that black city residents already lived on average about 8.8 years less than their white counterparts.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the coronavirus was "devastating black Chicago".
She said city inspectors would be sent into shops to ensure everyone was adhering to social distancing guidelines.
Mayor Lightfoot also raised the possibility of curfews in areas where people gathered outside liquor stores, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

What's the picture nationally?
Though the coronavirus has been called the "great equalizer", data suggests that vulnerability to the infection may vary by neighbourhood.
In Michigan, African Americans make up 14% of the population, but they account for 33% of the coronavirus cases and 41% of deaths, figures from the state health department showed on Monday.
White residents account for about 23% of recorded cases in Michigan and 28% of deaths, according to the data.
Detroit, Michigan, is about 80% black, and the city together with its surrounding suburbs accounts for around 80% of confirmed coronavirus cases.
A similar disparity has emerged in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of the most segregated cities in the US.
African Americans made up almost half of Milwaukee Country's nearly 1,000 cases as of last Friday and 81% of its 27 deaths, despite black people accounting for 26% of the population there, according to a study by ProPublica.

Some 40% of Louisiana's coronavirus deaths have occurred in the New Orleans area, where the majority of residents are black.
Health officials have previously said the Big Easy's residents suffer from rates of obesity, diabetes and hypertension that are higher than the national average, making them more vulnerable to Covid-19.

Olominira:

This guy is biggest fool to be a leader of any nation. His level of intelligent is extremely low. Whenever you see anyone that talks too much even when it's unnecessary, they're largely unintelligent and emotionally weaken fellow. That's exactly what Trump represents.

As at when this virus hitting China, he kept on boosting how they've got the best healthcare in the world. He talked how it's just an ordinary flu. Why don't you keep calm and carefully observe things, but no. He kept on tweeting.

When Trump was calling African nations different unprintable names, idiots were echoing his stupidity. There are leaders in the world that hates Africans but they'd never talk or spread this hatred. They would rather kept it to themselves because of the ripple effect from citizens.

The new trends of hatred from Europeans towards Americans today was all caused by Trump. Yes, some of us like some of things he's doing in America however we just hate the way he ridicules everything non-American. People like Trump doesn't deserve to lead anywhere.

Don't allow ioobs miscreants come for you. To them Trump is the best leader

Lalasticlala,
But if I may ask, why is this topic not on front page even on second page of comments

Cc Mynd44
What is delaying moving this topic for more audience debate

Gorem2013:


Unfortunately American does not believe in God intervention.

Trump is fighting convid-19 on his Twitter page.

Las las he finds who to blame.

America is Christian State, why wouldn't they believe in God?

Lalasticlala see snake here.

GamalNasser:


So you think Nigeria is doing something special to keep deaths low ?

Definitely. Nigeria managed ebola better than Congo and Liberia.

We are just applying the same principle to convid-19, and volla it's working.

More people are getting cure and recovering.


However implementation of the high unemployment in America is clampdown on undocumented immigrants who may be asked to leave.

rusher14:


So you know all these things but when the price of oil caused Nigeria to go into recession within a few months of Buhari coming into office what was your response?

Hypocrite.

This guy you dey follow talk already have his reasoning jaundiced by hatred. Nothing done in Nigeria is ok, even if Trump should wipe away all his family, he will still support him.

The curse of 5,% is a very terrible one. As many under it has vow not to see anything good in Nigeria.

Don't forget 'as he thinks in his heart, so he is says the Bible.

Here's the graphic presentation

rusher14:
The USA would come out of this as they always do but it is time for Nigerians to realise they are only made up of humans and the ability to overcome stems from the individuals.

More than 100,000 deaths has been projected and the economy will go into recession.

Trump clearly mismanaged it by downplaying it when he supposed to take action.

GamalNasser:


Is Sweden experiencing the same magnitude of infections like the US ? Does Sweden receive over 230 million international travellers annually ? Does Sweden have the same population with US ...these job losses are very temporary and they will back up once the Economy is kicked started when this is over ..

Does Sweden make the same mouth like US? Do you know the value of Dollars US is making from immigrants and travellers annually?

If this is happening to Africa, big mouth Trump would have started calling us useless name.

BlackSpanner:
Please give us that of Nigeria

Do you now want to start comparing Nigeria with US? We aren't at the same level. They are super power, we are developing.

We are treating successfully convid-19 here and they are dying like chicken

GamalNasser:
Its caused by the lock down and it will change when this virus has been dealt with, the whole world Economy is in a recession

. You mean almighty America could be so vulnerable? So they can't manage the lockdown?

Things not as terrible as this even in China.


What about convid-19 deaths? About 100,000 is projected to die in US

Note that Nigeria only recorded 2 death so far

US jobless claims hit another record..

Death from convid-19 now above 5,000.

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefit has surged to 6.65m, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to upend the country's economy.

The actual figure is believed to be even higher as many people have reported jammed phone lines and difficulties with filing their claims online.

It's also worth noting that some kinds of workers, such as people working part-time, do not qualify for unemployment benefit.

The latest figure eclipses the previous week's record of nearly 3.3m people, according to Department of Labor data.

The rush, which is unprecedented in modern US history, has overwhelmed many state offices handling the claims.

Car firms have halted production and air travel has fallen dramatically. According to economists, a fifth of the US workforce is now on some form of lockdown.

Lalasticlala food don come

What s world of hypocrites

Most of the people bashing and criticising Desmond will be ashamed if we ask them what the governor of their state have done.

Like the one distributing kerosene

The same people who are hailing audio governor in oyo state for declaring curfew in the state as if convid-19 only infect people at night, are here calling for the head of a man helping his constituency to imbibe hand washing culture.

The same Ipob applauding Dino for wasting his constituency allowance on luxuries and did nothing

Jobless criminals who turned themselves to opposition because free money is not flowing into their pockets again.


They are all over oyo state sharing the state revenue and praising the audio governor who have done virtually nothing than bribing the media.

Have you heard afenifere criticising PDP governor anywhere in Nigeria? Nope. Just give them food to eat then you are good to do nothing for the masses,, yet they will praise you.

Sowore is funny. He refused to say nothing about America where he lives and make his living but focus on Nigeria for political gain from the pain people are going through.

America now carry more viral load than even China

America doesn't have enough testing kit and ventilator

Trump refused to take action always downplaying the severity of the virus

Deaths including that of infants is occurring daily in all the 50 States of America.

Whichever way we look at it, Nigeria had managed this well with no death of locals. Death recorded was of a returned.

Even the Italian man was treated and discharged.

Sowore if you continue this way, you remain a tool used by the enemies of Nigerian masses to deceive and at the you will pay dearly for it.

Hahaha back to salt therapy like the time of Ebola


By His stripes, I am healed

No solution yet and you can see that the virus is spreading like wildfire.

Prevention is better than cure. Salt is NaCl + water H2O will give you a strong acid Hydrochloric acid and a strong base Sodium hydroxide.

No virus can survive any of these.

Protect yourself don't follow the crowd to your death

...

1) In the morning before leaving for work or anywhere. Use warm water with SALT or VINEGAR to rinse or gaggle your mouth

2) After touching money, door knobs, or even shaking hands with others and before you eat your food. Wash your hands or at least apply sanitizer.
Don't worry if package sanitizer à store is expensive, just use SALT and water to clean your hands.

As much as possible avoid touching your face especially nostrils and mouth.

3). Repeat number 1 again before you sleep or anytime you return home.

Read this : answers to 11 Most Popular questions about Corona Virus for more information

https://www.nairaland.com/5732271/coronavirus-11-most-popular-questions#87386184



Note that the major reason why SALT solution or brine. is used here is because of the chlorine content

Virus especially convid-19 cannot survive where chlorine exist

Again, the entry point and route of spreading is mouth and nostrils. The virus remain on the throat for 4 days before moving to the lung and symptoms appear.

I wish you safe health.

My little contribution to keep you safe. You share as much as you like. Thanks

Lalasticlala, why is this educative info not on front page?
pls do the needful

cc seun

Thanks my friend, may be there are too many CORONAVIRUS topics already
But this will help lot of people keep safe

olamidedivotee:
This thread should be in FP

Mods please let people know and read answers provided by medical practitioner on this virus

7. Can coronavirus be transmitted by door handles and how long does it survive? - Jean Jimenez, Panama
If someone infected with the virus coughs on to their hand and then touches something, that surface may become contaminated.
Door handles are a good example of a surface that might pose a risk.
Experts think that coronavirus can survive on surfaces, possibly for days. So it is best to wash your hands regularly to help reduce the risk of infection and spread of the virus.

8. Is it safe to swim in a public pool? - Annette, Chester
The water in most swimming pools contains chlorine, a chemical which can kill viruses. So it should be safe to use a swimming pool as long as it is properly chlorinated.
However, you could still catch the virus from an infected person in a changing-room or building if they contaminate surfaces, such as door handles.
And someone with the virus could also spread it to others through coughs and sneezes if they come into close contact.
There are a number of ways to help you
avoid catching or spreading the virus.

9. Should I start wearing a mask to limit my chance of spreading or contracting the virus? - Ann Hardman, Radcliffe, Manchester
Although doctors and surgeons often wear face masks, there is little evidence that wearing face masks by the public makes a difference.
Public Health England has said it does not "recommend the use of face masks as a means of protection from coronavirus". It says there is very little evidence of widespread benefit from their use outside of clinical settings,
Experts say good hygiene - such as regularly washing your hands and certainly before touching your face - is vastly more effective.
What do I need to know about the coronavirus?

10. What is the risk to children? - Louise, London
In general, children appear to be relatively unaffected by coronavirus, according to data from China.
This may be because they are able to shake off the infection or have either no symptoms, or only very mild ones similar to a cold.
However, children with underlying lung problems, such as asthma, may have to be more careful, as the virus could trigger an attack.
For most children, though, it will be a respiratory infection like any other and no cause for alarm.
The UK government would have the power to close schools to prevent the spread of the virus, if it wanted. Schools in 14 countries have already been shut, while another 13 have closed some schools.

11. Can you catch the virus from food prepared by an infected individual? - Sean McIntyre, Brisbane, Australia
Someone infected with coronavirus could potentially pass it on to someone else if the food they prepare has not been handled hygienically.
Coronavirus can be spread by cough droplets on hands.
Washing your hands before touching and eating food is good advice for anyone, to stop the spread of germs.

More than 110 countries have now reported coronavirus cases and the World Health Organization has declared the spread of the virus a Pandemic

Here are the answers to a selection of readers' questions.

1. What is the incubation period for the coronavirus? - Gillian Gibs
It takes five days on average to start showing the symptoms , scientists have said, but some people will get symptoms much later than this.
The incubation period lasts up to 14 days, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. But some researchers say it may be up to 24 days.
Knowing and understanding the incubation period is very important. It allows doctors and health authorities to introduce more effective ways to control the spread of the virus.

2. If you recover from coronavirus are you immune? RubyRed on Twitter.
Well, it is too soon to tell. This virus has only been around since the end of December, but from experience with other viruses and coronaviruses you should have antibodies to the virus which will protect you.
With Sars and other coronaviruses we tended not to see reinfection. Now there are some reports from China of people who are released from hospital subsequently testing positive but we're not sure about those tests.
However, the key thing was those people were no longer infectious.

3. What are the differences between coronavirus and flu? - Brent Starr, Gresham, Oregon, US
Coronavirus and flu share many similar symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose without a test.
The main coronavirus symptoms to look out for are fever and a cough. Flu often has other symptoms too, such as a sore throat, while people with coronavirus may feel short of breath.
People who think they may be affected by coronavirus need to self-isolate immediately

4. What does self-isolation involve? - Alan Gell, Cheshire
Self-isolation means staying at home for 14 days, not going to work, school or other public places, and avoiding public transport or taxis. You should also stay separate from other people in your home. No hosting of visitors or meeting of any sort.
You should even try to stay away from your pets - if that isn't possible, wash your hands before and after touching them.

5. How dangerous is coronavirus for people with asthma? - Lesley-Anne, Falkirk, UK
Respiratory infections, such as coronavirus, can trigger the symptoms of asthma.
Asthma UK advises those who are concerned about the virus to follow a series of steps to manage their asthma.
These include taking a preventer inhaler daily as prescribed. This helps cut the risk of an asthma attack being triggered by any respiratory virus, including coronavirus.

6. If schools are closed will there be financial help available for parents? - Richard, Eastleigh
Employers have to give you time off to deal with a domestic emergency, but they don't have to pay you.
The time you take has to be a reasonable amount. You can apply for some unpaid leave as well.
