no be scam o this shiit is very real
Hear the truth
It is not a scam but they are scamming us with it. That's the fact.
Our leaders are what my Dad used to say “ if you cannot eat yam because of palm oil...then you will eat palm oil because of yam”
If you know you know..it’s a world wide thing. Like a secret war that would be over once they reached their peak or whatever they really want.
I always say...corona is true or not, those that will die will surely die.
Me and my family will not be part of it.

Covic 1-9 is a big scam in Nigeria. Coronavirus IN NIGERIA is a total scam, a political heist.

Ask Wike, ask Ganduje, ask El Rufai. If COVID19 is really in Nigeria as they claim, do you think the thieves/thugs I mentioned above will be roaming about in the streets?

. WHY NOT ASK Abba Kyari, Atiku son, und bauchi gov etc?

1. Corona virus is real.
2. Corona virus is in Nigeria.
3. We may have inaccurate test kits.
4. We may have unqualified testing personnels.
5. A good number of the people being quarantined actually do not have corona due to 3 and 4 above.
6. There is no cure for corona.
7. Corona virus is less potent in Africa than in the West.
8. The best option is to keep everyone at home and give reasonable palliatives to go round for everybody.
9. The Government does not have to means to do number 8 above.
10. Corona virus is real and is here with us!

Do not let hunger stand between you and your safety and thereby fall for the trick that corona is audio.

Do your best to stay corona-free!.

11. If u r a relatively young African living in Africa and have no underlying illness u have a 99.99% of surviving a COVID-19 infection

MyVILLAGEpeople:
I have been saying since onset that this Covid 19 in Nigeria is a big fraud. Now other governors are angry that the Federal government gave Lagos State money without giving them. Just look at what Wike is doing with Rivers State without considering people. What they are treating in Nigeria is malaria and fever. Raymond Dokpesi said what he had was malaria. I remember saying this few weeks back on a thread concerning Covid 19 being a big scam and I received countless mentions raining insults on me. I didn't even bother to reply the idiooots. Anyways the truth is already coming out gradually.
I dey tell you

Only those that have collected money from Nigeria government are telling us it is real.

Covid-19 is real to corrupt Nigerian politicians and their friends.

Prudency045:


This is not my line of argument. Not just anybody is being tested. You have to develop some symptoms before you get tested.

Did she develop certain symptoms before calling NCDC officials to take her sample or her sample was taken forcefully?

Why present yourself for test for a disease you don't believe in?
I think she fell ill and was taken to the hospital before the test confirmed she has coronavirus.

The medical lab scientist and the govt have their
reasons why result won’t be shown to people. But we in the system have our way of getting our info.

Well you’re totally wrong. If you are diagnosed of malaria, I believe you would’ve seen your result. Same this is applicable to STD, Diabetics and other chronic diseases. Why would you keep the result from the patients when, in fact, the same could not be said of our ministers, governors, commissioners and top governmental personnel’s who claimed to have contracted the disease.

Really, so patients can now tell if they have a disease or not?

The test says she is positive, she asserted she is negative.
What a covidiot!

If your leaders are not even more idiotic, mischievous, and dubious, why all the undue secrecy??!

I can understand, even accept keeping sensitive info from most members of the public, but why keep actual test results and findings from the patients??! How can a patient be isolated for over 2 weeks yet not have access to her lab findings??! That's criminal!!!

Even reported deaths should be backed up with well written autopsy records...

See, where there is no transparency, such reports will keep arising. It's a shame!!!

Miss medical line, you have no right to test me without showing me result. In fact, you have no right to conduct a test on me without my consent, except if I am an underaged person or unconscious. Even someone must give consent and receive result on behalf of an underaged person and an unconscious person can only be tested without consent if it is an emergency situation.

And no government has any rights to rob anybody of this right.

Now back to the question: Did you see the result of the test conducted on your friends or not? Or someone else told you?

Re: "COVID-19 Is A Scam" - Discharged Delta Patient Says by Nobody: 5:33pm On May 18, 2020
Another illiterate Nigerian boasting out of ignorance. That you were asymptomatic does not mean you did not have the virus. It's at the discretion of the NCDC to or not to show you result. Covid-19 is super real...people should learn from late Abba Kyari who contracted the virus in Germany and infected people back home. I wish I could take some bigots on a tour of isolation centres in lagos. They would return home crying after seeing people battle with their lives.

You really don't get the point. Your friends might be at the isolation center the same way the girl spent 17 days there.

The truth is, this country inflate anything figures to loot.

They accused people wrongly of the virus and arrest them and force them into isolation center.

Dokpesi said this, now this girl.

If this virus, the one in America, UK, Spain and Italy hits this country, I bet you you all will see fire. It will overwhelm those mortuaries you call Tertiary hospitals.

Hmm

1. The woman is most likely in denial

2. As has been seen time and again, not every contact with a covid case tests positive

3. Even if they showed her the paper work around her test she won't believe it.

4. Many cases are asymptomatic. El rufai and atiku's son are two classic examples, and there are cases that have tested positive for longer than that.

5. The reason for denying that she is positive? A) avoiding stigma b) she feels upset that she was placed in isolation.

My opinion.
but at least she has the right to see her result

What’s the symptom sir ?
/
Acute hypoxic respiratory failure. The patients have higher need for oxygen. The nasal canula we see or even simple mask will not cut it. You can tell there is poor oxygen exchange in the lung by the presence of patchy interstitial infilterates as seen in chest X-ray of the lungs. Even those serious to be placed on ventilators (breathing machines) are given the same protocol as ARDS. Most times the machines will be showing peak pressure because of poor lung compliance.

Fever, shortness of breath, fatigue put you under investigation but swab and analysis is the confirmatory test. Nigerian health officials are making mockery of Covid-19. The QC of their kits comes to question or they are being mischievous for pecuniary gain. It is one or the other.

ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS PROBLEM

My dear, I have said the one I know. I have two of my colleagues currently in isolation. Weather govt is playing games or not I don’t care, all I know is to be careful when dealing with people cause e no Dey show for face. Some people re carriers without them knowing.
But I don’t blame people saying it’s fake. If television stations can be asked to go give coverage at the isolation centers and blur the faces of patients probably people might have a change of mindset, just as BBC and CNN reports to the world about the virus

I don't think this will change the perception, dear.

The popular assumption Nigerians have is that Covid-19 is a killer disease. Anything short of instant death, in their view, is not Covid19.

This is the major problem. Someone with a slight cough most likely won't believe he/she is positive even when tested and confirmed.
