9jaRealist: You can gladly confirm that other countries need to do more but you want me to celebrate us doing far worse than these countries. Please, I am not used to celebrating mediocrity. |

9jaRealist: Ironic you can state that America that have tested over 2.5 million people are not testing enough but praise Nigeria for testing under 10,000 people. Like how do you justify such mediocrity. |

BreconHills:Oga Honorable BreconHills, Nigeria government is not as holistic and meticulous in the discharge of its duty. Maybe you don't know, Most Government civil service workers here ( I don't mean this as a personal insult to anyone, just a statement of fact) are a lazy bunch with a nonchalant attitude to their duty. They are only committed and passionate when it comes to collecting bribe before discharging their duty. You can't compare that with UK civil service system pls. For example, they said thrr is lockdown in Lagos, some aboki living in my area that travelled to Kano like 3 months ago are back in the community. How did they pass? And one thing is these people travel in Mass, then when they get to Lagos, they will disperse to their various areas while continuing to network. Like 10 just came back for my street. God knows how many hundreds or thousands have entered Lagos altogether from the North. Yet the government says there is lockdown. When the Chinese Lockdown Wuhan, nobody could get in and nobody could leave. See criminal gangs are roaming around in large groups terrorizing and robbing people under the same lockdown. Nigeria and UK no be the same oh. |

Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by Nobody: 11:25am On Apr 20, 2020 |
TheGoodJoe:There is nothing slow about the pace abeg. The incubation period for the virus is 14 days, and if it had truly seeped into the Nigerian sphere to cause serious damage as our fears might want to have us project; the dense population and all, then, we should be having dead bodies scampered all over the place right now, so calm down, sit at home and sip tea. However, as Lagos ramps up testing this week, I'm expecting scary figures. We might hit hundreds of thousands! (I hope not too). So yeah, testing testing testing, because undeniably, there is fire on the mountain. And, we have to know the size of the shit we are in, before cleaning up. |

Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 11:33am On Apr 20, 2020 |
Ricchcream: You agree that we need to know the magnitude by testing but feel having done about 10,000 after ramping up is a pacy response. How does that add up to you? |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by Nobody: 11:37am On Apr 20, 2020 |
MainJoe:Lagos is ramping up testing this week. Let's wait and see. No need for paranoia. |

Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 11:46am On Apr 20, 2020 |
Ricchcream: And how do you get the base to act?....... By sample testing. Which until now we are doing at a very limited capacity. There is no defence for mediocrity. |

Testing comes as a result of available testing kit. And daily testing kit are increasing and available so expect higher result. Even in USA at the earliest stage testing kit where not available every where but was later provided and testing increase. Nigeria don't produce testing kit but only import for now which will certainly take some time Macsjebs: |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 12:11pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
Ricchcream: One of the things that can be done is sample testing in multiple locations and then calculate possible spreads and enforce mass testing at areas that shows the possibility of high spreads. For Christ sake, the FG released N15 Billion. What are they doing with it? 1 Like |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 12:13pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
AmTruth: Then there should be a partnership with the Academia, Private sector and the FG on the possibility of generating testing kits here. Action needs to take place. Not excuses. |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by Nobody: 12:22pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
MainJoe:15 billion naira is still limited a resource, if you dont want to take a conservative approach to tackling the menace. New York released 40million dollars for it, despite having world class health facilities at the wake of the pandemic. South Africa with measly 58 million population, spends 8× more on health yearly in the past 5 years than Nigeria. To me, this pandemic should be a wake up call, but you can't wake the dead. So, what to do? Just keep it at a lockdown, do your testing at your own pace and have plenty isolation spaces ready, just in case. |

Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 12:39pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
Ricchcream: How do we know when we have not done comprehensive sample testing in the whole country? This is just guess work. |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by Nobody: 12:41pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
MainJoe:You're right. There is much to do, but we simply don't have the structure to build on. So, we work with what we have. |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 12:42pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
Ricchcream: The virus is not waiting for our own pace. We need to act creatively to get ahead of the virus. Sample testing will go a long way and N15 Billion is more than enough to have carried out sample testing, massive surveillance and to an extent larger scale treatment than we are currently doing. Heck Ghana has done 68,591 tests. We could have done close that for sample tests. |
Re: COVID-19 : 70 New Cases In Lagos, Lagos Mainland Has Highest Number Of Cases by MainJoe: 12:45pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
Ricchcream: We are not just to work with what we have but comprehensively utilise our limited resources to its most maximum capacity. The bosses of the Ministry of Health and NCDC need to go. I will keep saying it. We need far more creative minds. We need to get the private sector on board, including the CSOs that have direct link to the masses and their needs. We need the academic institutions to contribute their quarter. We need a comprehensive Covid-19 action plan fast and need to act on it. We have expert in these. Get them in. We can not keep moving at such a slow rate when even capable nations are falling. |
