Anambra, Center of crime.

Exporting crime to every other state now

From Lagos to Port Harcourt

And will be using Fulani herdsmen to cover up their act.

The king of ventilators can give us some

You will be duped

Brilliant lady.

All for the gram.

Nigerian celebrities and fake life's are conjoined twins.

Even the one that has audio 30 Billion and private jet is yet to even make an impact in his neighborhood, village and state.

But very quick to come to social media to tell us about his new $100,000 necklace

In pandemics like this when celebrities are making impacts, Our Nigerian gram celebrities have all gone underground like our pastors- No more miracles

Remdesivir, a drug thought to be one of the best prospects for treating Covid-19, failed to have any effect in the first full trial, it has been revealed.

The drug is in short supply globally because of the excitement it has generated. It is one of the drugs Donald Trump claimed was “promising”.

In a “gold standard” trial of 237 patients, some of whom received remdesivir while others did not, the drug did not work. The trial was also stopped early because of side-effects.

News of the failure was posted on a World Health Organization clinical trials database, but later removed. A WHO spokesman said it had been uploaded too soon by accident.

“A draft document was provided by the authors to WHO and inadvertently posted on the website and taken down as soon as the mistake was noticed. The manuscript is undergoing peer review and we are waiting for a final version before WHO comments,” said Tarik Jasarevic, a WHO spokesperson.

The drug, made by the US company Gilead Sciences, is an antiviral that was trialled in Ebola, but which failed to show benefits in Africa.

In the race for drugs that might work against Covid-19, many doctors have given remdesivir to patients on “compassionate grounds” without waiting for trials. Because of the interest in it, the world’s biggest trial of possible treatments for Covid-19 at Oxford has not been able to include it, because researchers could not obtain supplies.

The trial of the drug in China, on patients with severe Covid-19 symptoms, may give some doctors pause. Gilead, however, claimed there were still signs that it could be useful, possibly in patients with milder versions of disease.

In the trial, 158 patients were randomly assigned to be given remdesivir, while 79 others had standard care with a placebo instead. There was no difference between the groups with respect to recovery time. Just under 14% of those on remdesivir died, compared with nearly 13% of those not taking the treatment.


“In this study of hospitalised adult patients with severe Covid-19, [which] was terminated prematurely, remdesivir was not associated with clinical or virological benefits,” said the report on the WHO website.

The report added: “Remdesivir was stopped early in 18 (11.6%) patients because of adverse effects, compared with 4 (5.1%) in the control group.” There were no details in the short report of the side effects that caused the trial to be halted.

Just a week ago, it emerged that researchers in Chicago were excited by the results of a Gilead-run trial of remdesivir in 125 patients. Nearly all those people were discharged within a week, according to STAT News, which follows the pharmaceutical industry. However, there was no placebo group, which meant researchers could not be sure that it was the drug that made the difference, and not something else.

Remdesivir is one of a handful of drugs that have been enthusiastically backed by doctors and politicians as potential cures for Covid-19. There has also been a rush to give patients hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic version of the antimalarial chloroquine. That has led to shortages for people who need to take it for lupus, a disease that affects the immune system.

Scientists who want to see proper trials conducted are likely to point to the remdesivir trial failure as strong evidence of the dangers of giving out even tested drugs on compassionate grounds for a disease that is so novel.

America faces an epic choice...
... in the coming year, and the results will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times. Over the last three years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth. This administration has cleared out science and scientists across all departments. America's reputation as a competent global leader is in peril. Truth is being chased away. But with your help we can continue to put it center stage.

Rampant disinformation, partisan news sources and social media's tsunami of fake news are no bases on which to inform the American public in 2020. We believe every one of us deserves equal access to fact-based news and analysis. So we’ve decided to keep Guardian journalism free for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This would not be possible without the generosity of readers, who now support our work from across America in all 50 states.

Neither ogboni nor fraternity makes any sense. The devil has no free gift.

Lie...

What they always make you to believe.

Abroad is not easy but people there dont want to come back to Nigeria

If you dine with authentic Devil, You will regret the years you served something else.

The family must be compelled to do the burial ceremony

Boys must chop rice and beans, with enough beer

eedimo:
Only knew about him after his death.

Are you joking?

Supersymetry:
I have a question for you.
Do you know that the food you eat come from solar energy perhaps your house, car etc
Or do you know the amount of energy the sun delivers to Earth every day.
Do you know that nuclear fission energy is not renewable, though it doesn't affect CO2 level, but it is not good to the environment

Nigeria's demand cannot be met by solar. It's far too expensive and considering our demand, it's out of the picture.

It's an unreliable and bulky tech.

Nuclear waste are well handled now and same time less radioctive. Things have changed in this era. The tech is now certified.

Supersymetry:
I can now say you have comprehension problem.
The only thing still in development is quantum dot solar cells, not crystalline silicon solar cells which can deliver in Gigawatts now, and what stops Africa from developing it are u afraid of doing scientific research,African mentality you're only a final consumer

Hello, Solar has never been a major source of lower generation in any Nation that can be compared to Nigeria. The tech is an add-on in any country and its damn expensive.

With regards to the case of Nigeria, it can't work, cos we far off from what is required and we need a tested and proven tech to get us there.

Nuclear energy as it stands today is the most reliable and efficient tech in power generation. That can't be taken away. Advancement has made it very safe.

Nukilia:
I think folks like you who believe in the viability of nuclear technology should work together with other groups so that we can together rescue Nigeria from the epilepsy in power supply and economic retrogression.
#LikeMinds

Who am I in the puzzle? Everything boils down to leadership. This leaders know what's right. Don't think they don't have an idea about what's being discussed. They do. If they want to get things done, they will, but corruption and sabotage will never make that happen if the electorates keep making same mistakes.

Nest election now, they will still be routing for the same people killing them.

Let me tell you the truth. Though is my personal opinion which I have a right to. And my conusion is not based on mere belief or hearsay as I can always buttress and defend opinion.

Nigeria is doomed!

A generation needs to be wiped off before that country can have a second chance, which is impossible. So it will continue to be that way.

Supersymetry:
Solar is capable of delivering in Gigawatts today, terawatt with quantum dots though not fully developed, technically nuclear fission is not renewable in long term especially with an exponential growth in demand( a topic of another day). Maybe nuclear fusion can go a long way nuclear but it's still in development, fossil fuel can be made carbon neutral if things like carbon sinking etc is developed.

Do you always read what you composing and factor to subject being discussed?

Now you mentioning technologies that are still in developmental stages with unfound reliability.

You idea will only compound our problems as the county will just be used for a test ground. Nuclear has delivered in many countries and proven to be safe, efficient and reliable.

Hello, if we must meet our national demand with all proven techs available, Nuclear is the way to go.

Gbam!

Supersymetry:
So you mean, nuclear energy is the only form of energy that can develop a nation, chaii, close mindedness is dangerous.
Don't you know that electricity(to mention a few) was invented before nuclear power.

Read what you composing.

You have failed to factor in what's demanded and the best and most efficient way to get reach it.

Oh! We should go solar to generate 50k MW or go thermal that is about being faced out. Tell me more.. wind turbines or Hydro.

Nuclear will get Nigeria the desired efficient and reliable capacity.

We talking about powering up a Nation with large energy deficit and not lightening up a village.

donbachi:
pikin dey grow reach,b4 dem give am fowl leg.

How will the child grow to that age if not fed.

He will definitely die of hunger before he gets the fowl leg.

donbachi:
What africa need is human capacity building,agriculture,business and people friendly policies and open market..not some nuclear energy.

Human capacity in the absence of steady electricity?

Agriculture and business, what drives this sectors?

Energy is the bane root.

New study shows hydroxychloroquine didn't work against Covid-19

(CNN)Coronavirus patients taking hydroxychloroquine, a treatment touted by President Trump, were no less likely to need mechanical ventilation and had higher deaths rates compared to those who did not take the drug, according to a study of hundreds of patients at US Veterans Health Administration medical centers.

The study, which reviewed veterans' medical charts, was posted Tuesday on medrxiv.org, a pre-print server, meaning it was not peer reviewed or published in a medical journal. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the University of Virginia.

In the study of 368 patients, 97 patients who took hydroxychloroquine had a 27.8% death rate. The 158 patients who did not take the drug had an 11.4% death rate.
"An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone. These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs," wrote the authors, who work at the Columbia VA Health Care System in South Carolina, the University of South Carolina and the University of Virginia.
Researchers also looked at whether taking hydroxychloroquine or a combination of hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin, had an effect on whether a patient needed to go on a ventilator.

"In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine, either with or without azithromycin, reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19," the authors wrote.
There are currently no products approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to prevent or treat Covid-19, although research is underway on many drugs.
Hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades to treat patients with diseases such as malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Trump has touted the drug as a "game changer" for Covid-19 and said hydroxychloroquine shows "tremendous promise."
Physicians have warned that while Trump is enthusiastic about the drug, it still needs to be studied to see if it works and if it's safe.

In another recent study, researchers in France examined medical records for 181 Covid-19 patients who had pneumonia and required supplemental oxygen. About half had taken hydroxychloroquine within 48 hours of being admitted to the hospital, and the other half had not.
It found there was no statistically significant difference in the death rates of the two groups, or their chances of being admitted to the intensive care unit. However, it found eight patients who took the drug developed abnormal heart rhythms and had to stop taking it. This research also has not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a medical journal.

That's not true. I have four children and I love them equally and they know.
The favourite child is the child of the moment. If you're sick, happy, or sad, you become my favourite for that moment. If you don't need me for support, you fade a little and create space for the child that needs me. So each child feels special.
My mother didn't have favourite child either.
Causing unnecessary sibling rivalry is not normal.

Keep deceiving yourself. Maybe you were never observant. It's in the human nature. Their is always one your heart is always after. Even if parents don't show it, if you monitor and observe, you will always know one is special

Yku can't love you children equally.

That's one fact you can try to hide but will never be

dominusgai:
Than God for once someone is understanding that the Democrats downplayed it as well.

As for Joe's ad, while it is good, you should have seen the comeback Trump released. It was fatality. They started it with his interview saying Trump was racist in banning flights from China. They finish Joe with that advert oh.

Also, they stated realistic facts too.

1) The Democrats said they did not need to ban flights from China
2) They told people to ignore early CDC recommendations of quarantine and social distancing
3) They blocked the stimulus bill and added unnecessary things
4) Focused more on closing churches than mosques
5) Lied about their need for ventilators. At the moment New York is sending excess ventilators to other states
6) Currently blocking more funding for small businesses

Everyone has facts, the question is is the fact true and relevant?

You are not current.

gypsey:
Even the chinese played it down and the italians, here in the UK too. WHO included.

China did for economic gains. But I know they will be dealt with later.

But British people hate Trump. How come you are a fan of Trump.

Strange.....

dominusgai:
Good analysis, and would have been perfect had all things been equal.

Now that is almost exactly what he did. However guess what Democrats did with the early recommendations of CDC

They ignored it. The CDC recommended social distancing as early as January. It was with that recommendations Trump said the virus will be over soon.

Can you guess what the Democrats did? They ignored it. They publicly came out and told their states to disregard the early recommendations from CDC and Trump, hence New York.

While your analysis is flawless, you are forgetting the Democrats would still have and did undermine any recommendations from his administration.

Bro, if Trump had acted earlier, they would have disregarded it. Remember when he blocked Chinese people from coming in but his people, remember he recommended quarantine for returnees, remember the governors told their people it was not necessary.

Imagine Trump trying to lockdown the country in January, just imagine the field day they would have had.

Not only Democrats. Everybody downplayed it. Republicans did. CNN did, Fox news did. It wasn't a Democrat thing. Almost all played it down.

dominusgai:
If election was to hold today, Trump is winning with a greater margin.

As for low paying jobs, I think it is time they did away with Unions. Those unions increase the cost of labor like mad.

Union or no union, their jobs Americans can never do.

It's one glaring fact statesike California and Texas Know. Each of this states have economies bigger than that of Canada and they know the importance of immigrants.

If you find an American picking potatoes, he is a junky trying to raise funds for meth. Or he is damn broke and needs money urgently.

He won't do that job for a month once he fixes the urgent problem. They can't just do some jobs.

Trump winning


November is close.

dominusgai:
Sir, please can you do one thing for me, can you list out how Trump would have gone about it from the time of his impeachment that would not have resulted in a battle of veto or Democrats telling their people to disregard him?

Good question.

As a politician, As at when I got intelligence report in November, I would have made sure report was validated by another intelligence report with a matter of urgency not exceeding 14days.
If reports are coherent, I will meet with experts, stakeholders, members of my cabinet and governor's, reps and senators to discuss what's at hand.

Such meeting would be key to arrive at prevention and mitigating methodologies which I will activate temporarily for a month while our economy is still running.

By January, world trend will determine if am to stay put on measures like banning flights, or relaxing measures. Which indefinitely won't be doing as awareness has already exploded then.

A month won't hurt as bad as what's happening now. The earlier measures would have exposed us to the true reality.

Of what use is a leader when he can't follow the recommendations of the experts in his cabinet.

Don't forget to clap for me of you impressed
