#COVIDー19 LOCKDOWN, ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING; NOT MARSHAL LAW REQUIRING ROAD BLOCKS, STOP & SEARCH: BE GUIDED LAI MOHAMMED

I religiously listened to Prez. @MBuhari's address to Nigerians, yesterday, where he declared #COVIDー19, a NATIONAL EMERGENCY, giving DOs & DON'Ts.
2/ Following yesterday's address by Prez. @MBuhari, I had called on @NOA_Nigeria to collabo with other agencies to EDUCATE & SENSITIZE Nigerians, including Security Agencies, on the PRESIDENTIAL GUIDELINES ON SOCIAL DISTANCING, amid the #COVIDー19 LOCKDOWN in Nigeria.
3/ As if I was prophesying like Prophet Jeremiah, I've come across reports and videos where agents of government are dishing out MILITARISTIC DIRECTIVES, as if SOCIAL DISTANCING to contain #COVIDー19 PANDEMIC, is tantamount to MARSHAL LAWS, declared during WARS or COUPS.

Gov N E Wike Information.
@GovWike
It is with gratitude to God that I announce to you that our State would have been infected with coronavirus yesterday, but for the vigilance of security agents who, acting on a tip- off prevented an infected person from boarding a flight from Abuja to Port Harcourt.
#COVIDー19
The infected person beat all security measures that were put in place at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Abuja and was to sneak into Port Harcourt before security agents stopped her.

#COVIDー19
Based on this alarming Information, the State Security Council met yesterday and reviewed measures already put in place and decided that there was urgent need to adopt stringent measures to protect those living and doing business in the state from the virus.

#COVIDー19 crisis response is another area where the performance of Prime Minister #ImranKhan's cabinet is inadequate & late resulting in a rapid surge in #coronavirus cases+infections. His TV address was unimpressive. @ImranKhanPTI can learn from @realDonaldTrump & @NYGovCuomo.
Unlike #USA+#Europe, #Pakistan is right next door to two epicenters of #COVIDー19 spread: #China & #Iran. China was initially late but later took impressive steps to contain the spread, incl quarantining #Pakistani citizens. Unlike Iran where Pk citizens visited in large numbrs.
What steps did PM #ImranKhan take for a #CoronaFreePakistan when it was obvious #Pakistan faced #COVIDー19 spread threat from #Iran; & when it became obvious that almost every neighbor incl #Iraq+#Turkey+#Gulf traced 1st cases to Iran & when #Tehran failed to warn neighbors?

#Covidー19uk Statement

Pawprints Dog Rescue was first set up as a charity in 2012 with the primary aim to save the lives of stray dogs abandoned at local pounds. We will continue to do our utmost to meet any demands in the almost surreal situation that we find ourselves in, as
long as we can meet the financial obligation this will place on us from the highly likely increase of abandonment due to fear, illness or very sadly, death; that we can provide the kennel space and ensure that we have back up plans in place in case of mass self-isolation or
illness of staff at kennels or volunteers; we promise to try our hardest to save as many dogs lives as we possibly can. However, this may become impossible and people should prepare themselves for this eventuality. We expect that most of the larger rescue centres will cease

#COVIDー19 @ewarren @BernieSanders We need a progressive agenda on epidemics STAT! There is going to be panic, an emergency, hoarding and if Dems in office and Dem candidates do not prepare an agenda that is more than Trump is screwing up then Trump ultimately will win.
1. RELIEF FUND: Until we have univ. health care we need an emergency health relief fund. The # of critical cases, meaning cases requiring significant medical intervention, are more than ten fold the number of deaths. For many this will result bankruptcy levels of medical debt.
2. ER COVERAGE: Health Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for treatments that are not 'pre-approved' or "FDA approved' as all of the treatment options for severe cases of COVID are 'off-label'
