Rocktation: Why ignore the part where he said only 1 patient has needed a ventilator so far? It seems evident to me that what he is saying is that we have an oversupply of ventilators considering the nature of current cases but in the worst-case scenario some ventilators can be moved from other places without strain on the system. Now, what qualms could you have with this? |

A reasonable n well meaning country is suppose to have standard infrastructures in every town, village n city. Just imagine, a country where quality meal isn't guaranteed. About 90% of Nigerians dont have the means to eat a balanced meal. I have said it over n over, Nigeria can never be okay! 1 Like |

SmartyPants:im sorry but coming from the health minister who needs every possible instrument to contain this virus, that statement is myopic. It’s better you have more, than less at any point in time when it comes to health matters. The gist is for people like you. |

Lol. Peeps just be hyperventilating. While I agree he misfired when he said ventilators can be flown to another state if needed (seriously was he high or something?? ) but the point is investing scare resources to procure a large quantity of the ventilators might not represent a very prudent use of scarce resources. Over 80% of those infected will not need it. What we need NOW urgently is testing. |

This minister is ignorant. Early detection does not improve survival rate. People across the world are in lockdown and sweating it off. Only when they develop difficulty in breathing they go to hospital bfor oxygen. Then the more serious ones go on ventilator. Old school people like this should be in the village enjoying retirement. Adds zero value. |

Seun: They are using same drug in USA and people are dying. The Minister is a clown. Its that simple. Each state should have at least 1000 ventilators before now and should have been one of the priorities. Is all the money donated for just test kits? BruncleZuma: Have heard 2 different presumed experts predict 40 and 45 million death respectively. How possible can that be since we have not started recording multiple deaths already. |

SmartyPants: Can you truly believe that we can have an overwhelming number of any medical equipment in our Nigeria? Truly? Are ventilators even exclusively meant for covid-19 patients? To what end is he having a principle of selectivity, for funds already devoted to the fight of the pandemic? Is it to diversify into agriculture now, or what is he suggesting they keep the money for? My problem is that I can't seem to understand whether the Nigerian government has been cursed with a knack for impugning the underlying value of preparation for the unexpected. Even nations with better measures of preparedness could not completely remove the risk of such big no-notice event from trying and sometimes overcoming the capacity of their governments, so by all means, let us fast pedal ourselves to nothingness, by not putting up a proper fight. |

X0012: And people like you are the reason I stopped typing RIP on NL because they are not worth the waste of bits and bytes. It's better to overestimate and be wrong than to understimate and be wrong... in which case millions die and we chalk it up to the will of God. |

mistarsam: The greedy minister obviously doesn't want to spend money I heard the Chinese are now selling their ventilators for $50k each up from $20k due the high demand from the US and other countries. |

i Pray that he is right, no country needed ventilators at less than 200 cases. problem is when the number of cases go up , we should buy more now that we are this stage, it is not a waste, you can send them to teaching hospitals after covid has ended. |
