The first death of a patient from #covid in December 2019 must have caused sorrow & pain to a family . 6 months on, the world records over 1 million cases & over 500,000 deaths.The groans & the last breath of the dying raises questions about political leadership. A sombre moment.

I appeared on @hiimpacttv Global News & advised against the use of #Hydroxychloroquine as treatment for #COVID19. The drug does not save lives & its misuse could be associated with cardiac problems. The trial by @UniofOxford has been stopped @GodstimeDavid13

Sepsis remains a global issue and a killer disease with 49 million cases & 11 million deaths annually. Patients with #COVIDー19 actually die of #sepsis
An infrastructure gap - @PTFCOVID19 @NCDCgov Nigeria has done 35,000 tests in 3 weeks. Problems with supply chain being resolved. With a population of circa 200 million people, there’s an urgent need to ramp up #COVID19 testing in Nigeria #coronavirus
Search for treatment of #covid - Triple therapy with interferon β-1b shortened the duration of viral shedding in patients with #COVID19, according to a Phase 2 randomized trial.@JWatch@nigerianshealth@NCDCgov
#COVIDー19 stories & statistics saddens my heart. At last, some good news in the midst of the misery - The #eu & its partners have pledged $8 billion to develop effective diagnostics, treatments & vaccine. Expected no person or country will be left out #UnitedAgainstCoronavirus
COVID-19 VACCINE?
Remdesivir a broad-spectrum antiviral treatment in #NIH studies show faster recovery (11days) than patients (15days) who received placebo. The mortality rate for #Remdesivir is 8% & 11.6% for placebo. The findings is a ray of hope for a vaccine against #covid
"Tomorrow marks 100 days since WHO was notified of the first cases of “pneumonia with unknown cause” in #China.
It’s incredible to reflect on how dramatically the world has changed, in such a short period of time"-@DrTedros#COVID19#coronavirus
It is essential that the spread of #COVID19 is contained. Individuals have a major role to play in preventing the spread of the infection. Measures include hand washing with soap & water for 20 seconds, social distancing and staying at home.
As the #Covid_19 pandemic stretches health facilities globally, governments are expanding the capacity of their health systems to treat patients by redesigning conference centres, stadia, naval ships as temporary hospitals. An example - Onikan Stadium, Lagos, Nigeria @followlasg
