Nigeria's vulnerability to an outbreak of the #COVIDー19 has necessitated preparations by health officials but ARE WE READY?

A @mobilepunch investigation reveals our poor level of preparedness for a major outbreak of #Lassafever and #Coronavirus, contradicting official positions.
As a medical practitioner, how do you reckon?

Nigerian Catholics will today participate in prayers & processions to kick off the Lenten season

The processions are in mourning & solidarity with the victims of kidnapping & other violent crimes as well as protesting the state of insecurity in Nigeria

Earlier this month, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, led a procession to end the spate of insecurity & killings in Nigeria.

What does this kind of protest achieve?
Does it impact the political will to make needed adjustments?
What other support could be rendered in resolving our insecurity crises?

The Man Died
Days ago, Tiyamiyu Kazeem joined the unending list of Nigerians murdered by their 'protectors' & during protests over his death, the body count rose

The NPF says he was killed in a "hit & run", BUT MANY DON'T BELIEVE THE @PoliceNG
#TheDiscuss
Calls for the reformation or dissolution of SARS have heightened & there's no telling how long this momentum will be sustained.

On #TheDiscuss today, we solemnly remember victims of extra judicial killings by the @PoliceNG as we collate recommendations for URGENT reforms.
We're pleased to welcome @JudeFeranmi to #TheDiscuss

Good morning, thanks for joining us despite your busy schedule

Today on #TheDiscuss, our concern is on NASS: State Police and the Risks of Empowering Governors.
How are state governors likely to manage this POWER and should Nigerians subscribe to this amendment?

Good morning Sir, welcome
Our security structure definitely needs fine-tuning. Calls for "localizing" security structures have led to efforts like Vigilante Group of Nigeria,OPC Youth wing, & recently, regional outfits like #amotekun
Has the centre failed?

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

After initially rebuffing #US offers, #China asks for CDC's help to investigate Wuhan virus

#Beijing has relented and agreed to permit #American disease experts to visit virus-hit China

Desperate times require desperate measures.........
washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/…
Beijing, after initially blocking requests from the United States, has agreed to permit authorities from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take part in an international investigation of the global health crisis caused by the rapidly spreading Wuhan coronavirus.
The World Health Organization officially declared an international health emergency Thursday. WHO officials said the designation was not meant to be a “vote of no confidence” in the Chinese government’s handling of the crisis.

⚠️JANUARY 26, 2020: #coronavirus #SITREP - Global Pandemic Risk HIGH

- 2,014 confirmed cases
- 56 deaths (believed to be much higher)
- ARMED QUARANTINE; China 🇨🇳
- Unknown amount of virus carriers
- 11 countries affected so far
January 13, 2020 appears to be where #2019nCoV took its turn towards becoming epidemic / pandemic threat.

Steep increase in cases outside of China after 1/13/2020
As of today, it’s suspected that the incubation period is between 2-10 days. This means there are likely thousands who may have been exposed and are still not symptomatic. This is still a guess however; this virus isn’t the same as other coronavirus strains but it’s similar.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today confirmed additional TRAVEL-RELATED infections of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in the United States, this time in Arizona and California.
These patients recently returned to the U.S. from Wuhan, China, where an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus has been ongoing since December 2019. This brings the total number of 2019-nCoV infections detected in the United States to five.
