It will be fun if I start doing English Police on this thread.

Real fun.

Theconglomerate:
No,you are wrong.
Did people in Africa start getting ARVs for free in 2017?
So how can someone say "if not for Bill Gates,Africans would bla bla bla...."
The company that changed the narrative for ARVs and
PLWHIV in Africa is Cipla,not anybody else.
They started doing so as far back as the 90s.
No one ever complained about their $1 dollar a day medication,so Bill Gates doing some unwarranted philantropy was on his own in this.
Give credit where it is due,learn that,know that.

nitigriti:


I see your point.

Prior to the 2000s, there were $1 a day antiretrovirals courtesy of Cipla.

oluwaseunla:


Scientists still classify them as non - living, even when they do all those. This is because they cannot keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, they cannot make their own energy.

They are not even regarded as cells, more like androids. That is because they don't have a nucleus (despite having a genetic material), no ribosome, no mitochondrion. These are all features of a living cells and viruses don't have them. The only thing they do is to replicate, and that is only done by taking over the host.

Think of it this way, remember those zombie movies by Hollywood, would you describe the zombies as living things despite taking over their host population? It's similar to that.

The people who died in Spain and Italy probably didn't use hand sanitizers, nose masks and hand gloves

I'll still stand that the lockdown should be kept. It's my opinion. Whosoever wants to faint because of it should do so ASAP.

Let them lift the lockdown so we all can go and eat. That's all that matters for now

My son's too. But they didn't reduce their fees despite the fact that parents are now doing more than 50% of the teachings and being forced to spend extra on fuel and data

sexylassie2:


at this moment since our universities both private and public cant find a vaccines against the virus, we have to practice what other countries did and that is lock down and social distancing.

We dont have the resources against mass infection, if everyone is infected, where is the hospitals that will treat them. sincerely speaking it will be a bad thing if people began to die up and down, even WHO will blame Nigeria for not protecting her citizens.

We are not china, Italy or USA, we do not have the resources like that but we can do what they did to stop the spread and that is enforcing social distancing and making sure people stay in their houses and only come out for essential purchase till a drop in cases happens

Money is good but also health is important

InfinityEstates:


You just spoke my mind. My rent expired March ending. I've spent it on stocking up and family. Waiting to hear from my landlord... It is well sha...

deedee44:

Me and you are in the same shoe right now
Only difference is, my landlord has called. I missed her call so I summoned courage and called back, she said she only wanted to ask about my safety as she heard that 1 million boys came around. She didn't talk about rent, what a nice and understanding woman. I love her

When Bill gates want it to be?
Most of HIV drugs were made easily available to Africans thanks to Bill Gates?Are you sure about this?
Go and read up on Cipla,an Indian pharmaceutical giant.
They are the reasons why a lot of people with HIV are still alive by knocking flat the price for as low as $1 a day or less.
You think if ARVs were still going for what western companies inflated them to go for,you think governments will be able to give it free to the afflicted?
Where does Bill Gates even fill-in in all of this?
I have been reading silently and I noticed you aren't as informed as you want people to think you are.
Cc radautoworks,come carry your friend ooo

Vision2045:
I am tired of the lockdown as well but I don't think it's time for the lockdown to be called off...

To those saying the lockdown didn't work.....I hope you are right...but I am sure it worked as it showed us an indication of what is ahead....Those people tested so far are those with traveling history and those that came in contact with them...

Can we be rest assured that all those that came in contact has been fully located and tested (definitely No, My neighbor is one of the medical personnel at the isolation centre in onikan..she said Lagos is really under testing...and I ask why she said the test kit are so limited in supply and that ventilators are as well limited).

If the lockdown is called off or relaxed, we all Sabi as Lagos dey....our bus na hustle..bus stop na hustle...market na hustle..church na crowd..mosque crowd..felashrine crowd...qulox crowd....malls crowd....

If people still disobey the lockdown when it was so called in full flight...do u think when it's relaxed or totally called off people will not just go straight to normalcy.

Can any state in Nigeria handle a surge if things go south ( which I pray it doesn't)

Have u watched the channels TV interview with the deputy coordinator for the covid 19 in their state...he said a reported 640 death in one week..though natural death join but we all know something is wrong...that's because their governor is not proactive enough...



What do I suggest.

- This coming week government should make effort to create local response team in all local government and train personnel to Man those centres...every local government has office already ..that can be achieved in a week...they will deploy trained personnel from the isolation centres and general hospital with adequate PPEs

- Full sensitisation at local level...A team of people go into street with their mega phone...and share safety tips and proper explanation and maybe a small pamphlet with pictures.

- Those centres at local level will be there to test and absorb if any case arise and might be transferred to a mother centre (Onikan, IDH and any other created ) in case of severe issues.

- Government should as well invest in Test kit and ventilators atleast divert some more money to the health sector...

All this is attainable in two weeks....Then the government can relax the lockdown ...But forget it relaxing the lockdown is like suspending it...We all know our kind of mentality in Nigeria here...

My humble Opinion
