Worried by the escalating cases of COVID-19 infections in Nigeria, the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has called on the federal and state governments to establish oxygen production centres across the states to ensure availability of oxygen in hospitals.
NMA president, Prof Innocent Ujah, who made the call at a news conference yesterday in Jos, said the need for the establishment of the oxygen centres in Nigeria was a matter of necessity to save lives and reduce fatalities.
According to him, while there is a high demand for oxygen in the hospitals, non-availability of oxygen increases the risk of mortality for patients who need it.
“With the advent of COVID-19, there is a higher demand for clinical oxygen. The establishment of oxygen plant centres in the country is also a means of saving lives by ensuring continuous availability of oxygen”, the NMA boss said.
WhatsApp on Tuesday
reassured users about privacy at the Facebook-owned messaging service as
people flocked to rivals Telegram and Signal following a tweak to its
terms.
There was “a lot of misinformation” about an update to terms of service
regarding an option to use WhatsApp to message businesses, Facebook
executive Adam Mosseri, who heads Instagram, said in a tweet.
WhatsApp’s new terms sparked criticism, as users outside Europe who do
not accept the new conditions before February 8 will be cut off from the
messaging app.

“The policy update does not affect the privacy of your messages with
friends or family in any way,” Mosseri said.
The update regards how merchants using WhatsApp to chat with customers
can share data with Facebook, which could use the information for
targeting ads, according to the social network.
“We can’t see your private messages or hear your calls, and neither can
Facebook,” WhatsApp said in a blog post.
“We don’t keep logs of who everyone is messaging or calling. We can’t
see your shared location and neither can Facebook.”
Location data along with message contents is encrypted end-to-end,
according to WhatsApp.
“We’re giving businesses the option to use secure hosting services from
Facebook to manage WhatsApp chats with their customers, answer
questions, and send helpful information like purchase receipts,”
WhatsApp said in the post.
“Whether you communicate with a business by phone, email, or WhatsApp,
it can see what you’re saying and may use that information for its own
marketing purposes, which may include advertising on Facebook.”
We want to address some rumors and be 100% clear we continue to
protect your private messages with end-to-end encryption.

Encrypted messaging app Telegram has seen user ranks surge on the heels
of the WhatsApp service terms announcement, said its Russia-born founder
Pavel Durov.
Durov, 36, said on his Telegram channel Tuesday that the app had over
500 million monthly active users in the first weeks of January and “25
million new users joined Telegram in the last 72 hours alone.”

Instagram, DJ Cuppy says
WhatsApp boasts more than two billion users.
“People no longer want to exchange their privacy for free services,”
Durov said without directly referring to the rival app.
Encrypted messaging app Signal has also seen a huge surge in demand,
helped by a tweeted recommendation by renowned serial entrepreneur Elon
Musk.
Telegram is a popular social media platform in a number of countries,
particularly in the former Soviet Union and Iran, and is used both for
private communications and sharing information and news.
Durov said Telegram has become a “refuge” for those seeking a private
and secure communications platform and assured new users that his team
“takes this responsibility very seriously.”
Telegram was founded in 2013 by brothers Pavel and Nikolai Durov, who
also founded Russia’s social media network VKontakte.
Telegram refuses to cooperate with authorities and handover encryption
keys, which resulted in its ban in several countries, including Russia.
Last year, Russia announced that it will lift its ban on the messenger
app after more than two years of unsuccessful attempts to block it.
