they don't sell drugs like that without a doctors prescription or a note from a pharmacist

You guys should understand the difference between prescription and over the counter (OTC) drugs. You don't need no prescription to buy drugs like motrin, ibuprofen and any other OTC medications.

Where are all those people that like insulting Nigeria? Hope you now see this problem is not specific to Nigeria

So pathetic

rip

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Make una do lose weight o. Obesity is a preexisting condition for Covid.

Abeg, that's not true. I was a migrant and I cant count the number of times I've been treated here without health insurance. Here, it's life first before money. Once you survive, you'll get your bills in the mail..

At the US or Canada? You need to be specific so you don't mislead people

TheGiftedOne:
Too bad. Had this happened in Nigeria we would have blamed it on negligence and incompetence. Unfortunately even in the so called civilized country, he still died without even a fight from the medics. My condolences to the bereaved family and friends.

U people dive at anything just to hype the failed govt, you cant compare death with sleep.

I told you guys dey don't treat migrants without health insurance over seas, especially in cases like this...

It's unfortunate he had to go this way and may his soul find eternal rest. However, in the UK healthcare is free except for illegal immigrants but in this COVID-19 scourge, healthcare delivery is free to all persons with the disease that requires treatment or assessment regardless of your immigration status.

In most civilized country even in europe,our people without documentation are just afraid to go.

So what exactly did the other patients use, I mean those that didn't use CQ but recovered

Supportive care

IV fluids for dehydration

Oxygen for breathing issues

Antibiotics to prevent any bacterial superinfection

DiplomaticFatma:


Never knew animal like you still exist o, na you and your family next week go bad for o.

Leave those kain people alone. They have never left the shores. They think dying in america is bstter than living in nigeria. And maybe for thwm it is. But until you go. Nigeriabs thrive in america because other nigerians are your security blanket. You will usually meet someone to guids or help you making your transition easier. Moving anywhere is never a piece of cake..

Man inhumanity to man; had this happen in Nigeria, we would say if it were in the US, such a thing can never happen. I am not complimenting some of the glaring incompetency as sometime displayed here anyway. RIP to the dead.

people being treated with Hydrochloroquine haven't survived it you are talking of painkillers

Ladycewhy:
I am just here thinking of what will befall illegal migrants if they get this virus

They are been treated,just that fear wont let them visit the hospital.

That's not entirely true

Adieu

That's not entirely true

The word " most" in the statement covers your observation.

ojaydedon:


It's well with you bro... He doesn't look 25 and I expressed surprise... You didn't have to quote me or call me a fool.. it's not nice.. if you have any displeasure in my comment, there are better civil ways to State them..


Stay safe... SHALLOM

Am sorry for that...I knew the guy personally. Am still in shock

Some mumu naija people will still tell you that Mr Trump is the best.

lastempero:

It's good you added most because I know for a fact that people without health insurance in the US treat themselves at home.

You didn't read where it was stated he was on a ventilator for a week?

I guess all of those things are only available in a hospital

May God help us through the dark times

Even 17 yrs old white was denied treatment in the US and end up dying. Though Trump gov't has said that testing is free since federal government is distributing kits, but afterwards, treatment is not free so one will need health insurance for treatment

It would be nice if you don't make comments on a subject you have zero knowledge on. Don't say things based on hearsays on a public forum unless it's something you've personally experienced or have verified.

Sometime in 2018 I was sick and had no insurance at the time, I got medical attention first from an emergency room and then a few days later from a county hospital. I personally know a friend who got into an accident and had an emergency surgery, his bill was over 30k. It's not like this is free health care, no ER or hospital in the US turns you away; you get the needed medical attention and in a couple of weeks you get the bill in the mail

They denied him a test , the article didn't say he had no health insurance...

Are you seeing what I'm seeing.

I know say Una no go see anything , Hamites are cursed with tunnel vision aka no pattern recognition.

Rip bro

In this case, the problem is, the corona virus situation in the US is so severe that they are already running out of resources.

Also, the symptoms he had.? I treated a patient here in Naija two months ago with similar symptoms. Had pneumonia, not covid 19. My point is, the symptoms for covid 19 can mimic any other symptoms for any other disease.

At the moment there is no definitive treatment for the virus. Chloroquine is being trialed properly, as are some other drugs. Supportive care is the best for now.

Bros, they don't need all that assumption. They should've tested him, at least there is a test kit for coronavirus by now

What does he need the testing for?

They should have fed him with some chloroquine!

oludavkay:

If they tested him , the best they could have done is admit him and give him supportive care which may or may not have.saved him

Chloroquine may not have helped either.

After this, i think everyone should start working out. Keeping your body in shape is a way to build your immune system

Lol, it's not only working out. Your diet plays a big role.
