 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

21 LABORATORIES NATIONWIDE ARE NOW OPERATIONAL FOR COVID-19 TESTING-DR. EHANIRE.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.


     The Honourable Minister of Health, Dr. Esagie Ehanire has revealed that 21 Testing Laboratories are now operational nationwide as his Ministry works to drive up demand. “The Laboratories in Kano were directed to work in shifts, to reduce the turnaround time for testing, just as the Ministry of Health's Task Team to Kano is collaborating intimately and fully engaged in remediation activities, strongly emphasizing training and capacity building for all personnel, in order to help rebuild manpower in State and Federal health facilities.”
Dr. Ehabire disclosed this today, 7th May, 2020 at the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 Press Briefing.
The Health Ministry’s Task Team, the Honourable Minister disclosed, includes non-medical personnel such as cleaners, porters and security guards, especially in the COVID-19 isolation and treatment centres. “The intensive training is essential to minimise the risk of infection of personnel in the line of duty, which is becoming a major challenge in various parts of Nigeria. We do not have the latitude of having so many essential health workers in treatment or Isolation, and being out of service in these critical times.” The Honourable Minister also disclosed that he just led the Ministry’s team to a meeting with the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, at which their Agencies demonstrated impressive innovative capabilities to participate in finding solutions to our problems of shortages. We are convinced that Nigeria has the potential to manufacture many of the commodities we presently import, which present global demand also make difficult to come by.
Dr. Ehanire also reported the arrival of the first batch of Nigerian nationals, who were successfully repatriated yesterday evening to Lagos from Dubai. He said that they have entered into the mandatory supervised 14-day quarantine, in 2 designated hotels, in line with laid down protocols. “They will be tested for COVID-19 and any person testing positive shall be invited to a treatment facility.” Ehanire appealed to the returning Nigeria citizens to “bear with us and cooperate with the authorities”, especially if they perceive imperfections in the arrangements by the health authorities, as “this is a test run, the first of these exercises.”The Honourable Minister of Health also requests all states to embark on preparing at least 300 bed spaces for COVID-19 isolation and treatment. “As testing is scaled up and more persons with COVID-19 infection are identified, it is necessary that they are safely and securely isolated and treated with dignity until they test negative, to break our chain of transmission.”
Dr. Ehanire also disclosed that Federal Ministry of Health’s Team has left for Kogi State to ensure that the State has adequate testing capacity and also to advocate for the engagement of traditional rulers and community leaders in surveillance efforts of the State.
Similar team, the Minister revealed will soon depart Abuja for Cross River State.
