Does #Nigeria have #COVID19 test centre outside the 5 @NCDCgov molecular lab network:

1. @acegid_lab in Ede, Osun
2. NCDC National Ref Lab, Abuja
3. @ISTH_Irrua , Edo
4. @LUTHofficial Virology Lab
5. @nimrnigeria, Lagos.

None in the North; none in SE. But we like the figures?
If there isn't, then I am willing to go out on a limb & wager the numbers being put out by @NCDCgov right now may be part of the problem rather than part of the solution in giving people a false sense of security, since testing isn't really available to most who cld need it.
So, look at the political geography of access to testing: if you present with symptoms in Calabar or Port Harcourt, u have to motor specimen to Irrua; From Katsina or Damaturu or Yola, it's a v long ride to Abuja. Where is the storage to make sure specimens don't degrade?
