The curve can't be flatten (hard truth to swallow)- so many indices plays against it. Data which is critical is truly missing.

Testing is in question, health care is non existent.

Na to manage the situation while seeing people turn to statistics. (Hard truth to accept)


Palliatives can not be assured cuz it will be based on the most hit age bracket. Or it can not be sustained because for how long shall palliatives run.

Continual lockdown - you have to fight or mitigate between where the next uprising will come from, what will increase the stress on d non-existing health-care (if na hunger or the virus). Production and business economics failing, paying for infrastructure and it is not been productive.

Relaxed lockdown people go about with the covid19 preventive protocols, more educative awareness, enlightenment and enforcing strict rules within d population.

Locked or relaxed- numbers will increase

netpro:
With the rampaging pandemic not slowing down and many folks suffering under the pressure of hunger, there is a great debate on whether the lockdown should be lifted.

Option 1:
Maintain the lockdown, provide palliatives and increase testing and medical response.

Option 2:
Lift lockdown within the country, block international flights, enforce face masks, hand washing, use of hand sanitisers, etc. And let us battle it head long till there is a cure.

Which part of the debate are you?

Eulalia:
I'm tired of the whole shit. They should lift it already. I miss outside life. My sweet family and shopping. Gosh.

Koolking:


Option 2 can never work in a country like Nigeria. Citizens, especially Lagosians have not complied with the mandatory lockdown, how much more voluntary lockdown. Our case will be worst than USA if option 2 is applied. A lot of Nigerian still don't believe there is COVID-19, they feel govt is lying hence they're asking for names, pictures and videos of the patients. These are the types that will infect thousands due to their careless living out of freedom.

Mandatory lockdown and complete enforcement by the military (not the Police) at least 2 more weeks will flatten the curve.

Palliatives? Govt can not provide palliatives for everybody. Where is the fund? We have to stop deceiving ourselves. We are in a war situation. Who will survive will survive. Factly, humans will always adjust and adapt for survival.

Toor

Let it not look like I'm pessimistic.

The same Nigerians screaming for the removal of the lockdown will enforce it on themselves when shiit hits the fan

miketayo:


Ur talking about Sweden that is sparsely populated, there is social distancing there already by default.
I don't know about other states but Lagos can't practice social distancing, it's can't work.

izzou:


How can social distancing be enforced in Lawanson market, Yaba, Idumota, Balogun or the likes?

How can we observe Social distancing in Danfos or motorbikes?

Even banks will first jampack people outside before they allow them to go in, in twos?

Let them just remove it. Anyhow it eventually ends up is our fate. But saying enlightenment and enforcement? We both know that's not happen

Just read through the comments of supposed "enlightened" Nigerians with the internet. Then imagine how an uneducated Nigerian would behave

izzou:
For me, I still support the LOCKDOWN for the next one month

Let us sacrifice this little time and see the curve flatten to a reasonable extent.

[s]Nigerians sef are not helping. Stay at home, everyone is screaming hunger (which is true). But isn't it better to feel hunger, than see your loved ones die because of something without cure?[/s]

Face masks can be enforced, but it's difficult for Social distancing to be. From markets, to banks, to busstops, to churches, to everywhere....Only walking along Idumota or Obalende sef na wahala

If this lockdown is lifted, na God hand we dey. NCDC are already overburdened despite thelockdown. Imagine when it's lifted

This is a very big risk to be taken on Monday. God will see us through

femmy2010:
I am for a total Lockdown for another Max for 3 weeks.
The 36 states should lockdown. No movement and security operatives should be punished for receiving bribe in exchange for the passage of human or vehicular movement.
Markets should only open ones a week for the aforementioned lockdown duration and social distancing should be enforced on those market days.
The government should continue to give palliatives to the poorest of the poorest in the society as currently been done.
Those that have been paying taxes but need government's cash assistance can be helped with a token of Max N25,000 while zero taxpayers that desire to be paid palliatives should be made aware that a percentage would be deducted from their future earnings as tax using the same BVN they desire to be paid with.

Not this isnt ebola whereby its transmission is via body sweat.

This virus transmits via sneezing, coughing etc... this is the best time to be your brothers keeper ... look out for the next person while looking out for yourself.

Will you go out today witout a face mask? In my area ogudu, the use of face mask is increasing

Etinosa1234:


Hope u know Beijing and Shanghai wasn't lockdown

hardeycute:
I know you to be more objective than this, did you failed to touch on the number of tests that has been carried out since the lockdown started? If the Government can only do a little over 10,000 tests after 4 weeks of lockdown with no sustainable palliatives going round the whole country, what do you say to that?

The main objective of lockdown is to ramp up the numbers of tests being conducted but that is not the case here. We have many asymptotic people who have been denied testing

jagaban002:

Ghana population is around 30m whole Nigeria is around 200m that’s a bad comparison because Nigeria May suffer much more if this shit get lose in Nigeria

izzou:


Like I said, Nigerians flouted and are still flouting it

If the Government removes the lockdown, nothing spoil

But if(God forbid) bodies begin to litter everywhere, obviously a lockdown will be slammed on us. And by then, nobody will care about the death of the economy

Carshopper:


I don't see that happening ... the first period of lockdown didnt increase the numbers

The second period of lockdown numbers increased ...

Staying at home brings the virus closer than ever.. cuz truth to be told, we all go to the market, supermarkets, medicine stores to get our essentials... it can be gotten from there and brought in to immediate surroundings

izzou:


We are still saying the same thing

Or people won't sneeze inside the crowd. We can't be too careful, that's why countries advocated for a lockdown

The people dying in the abroad still used nose mask, no?

Those considering lifting the lockdown are seriously very selfish to me.
You guys aren't considering the health workers that will suffer should the lockdown be lifted.
