A famous molecular biology laboratory expert, Dr. Casmier Ifeanyi, warned Nigerians on Monday to oppose jubilation in an accredited Presidential Working Group on COVID-19 that the country was gradually flattening the pandemic curve of COVID-19, saying Nigeria had not yet left the forest.
Last week, PTF President and Federation Secretary of Government SGF Boss Mustapha warned nigeria to begin flattening the curve with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, even though he warned of complacency to avoid a wave pandemic at the moment.
Curve flattening refers to network isolation measuring the daily number of COVID-19 instances at a manageable level.
Ifeanyi, who is general secretary of the Association of Scientists of Medical Laboratories of Nigeria, AMLSN, refuted this claim.
In a verbal exchange with Good Health Weekly, he argued that, of all the profit measurement parameters of the COVID-19 reaction so far, it is inappropriate to say that Nigeria is out of danger.
“While other parts of the world talk about the resurgence of the moment and the third wave of COVID-19, it is unhappy that a country that has not tested up to 700,000 inhabitants of some two hundred million inhabitants is already claiming that it has flattened the curve.
“Such an assertion is ridiculous when you’ve just resumed flights abroad and you allow academics to return to school. It doesn’t match reports from other parts of the world.
“This is a global pandemic and until other regions emerge from the forests, it would be misleading to convince the world that Nigeria is flattening the curve. “
According to Ifeanyi, the most thing that has been done in this component of the global in terms of the reaction to COVID-19 is to copy and paste large components due to the use of modeling some other component of the global.
“For us, COVID-19 managers stand firm as the economy and schooling begin to open up before pretending we’re flattening the curve, because we’ve gone from 500 instances a day to less than two hundred in a row for a few these days, that doesn’t mean we’re out of danger because our testing capacity has decreased considerably.
“Have you done less than 600,000 tests and need us to flatten the curve of a global pandemic?It’s ridiculous.
“Our volume of checks meets the recommendation, what we are suffering is apathy in sampling, the sampling formula has collapsed. “
He said the formula was booming at first, but blamed managers for not handling the stage well, prompting some of the volunteers to back off. “Nigeria has more than 20,000 personal laboratories with more than 4,000 registered laboratories, but they can’t rely on them,” he said.
Regarding the reopening of and other public places, Ifeanyi noted: “Most countries have returned to the blockade because of the reopening of the school or the economy. South Africa opened their businesses and are now back with the worst cases. “
He warned that “if we do not revel in the total opening of sectors, it will not be appropriate to say that we are flattening the curve because we now have flights abroad from countries that are experiencing a moment of wave why some countries have banned flights. countries.
“I think managers rething it, we can’t say it’s safe, but we’re not out of danger. This is not the right time to say that we are flattening the curve when we have not done enough scientifically. “
In its own reaction to the prosecution, the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, challenged the federal government to present evidence that the country is actually flattening the curve.
In one discussion, NMA President Professor Innocent Ujah said the country is doing less testing now, even though he said the determinant is the amount of tests done.
“We want to know how many tests are being performed before we can say that the curve is flattening. It’s science, speculation. There has to be evidence,” he said.
“If we know how many tests are being done and how many are positive, that’s what will help us, whether we’re flattening the curve or not,” he said.
