The brave community....

We are learning every day about this ugonjwa. But we now know that:

1. Wearing a face mask protects you and the next person. If you care for other people, wear one when in public.

2. Maintain a distance of at least 1.5m.

3. Wash or sanitize your hands whenever possible.

4. Avoid crowded places.

I'm happy to have a lot of elderly relatives including my parents. Many of them have chronic illnesses and could die if they got infected with this disease. Why shouldn't they be protected?
 
"Dr Ayah and his team of researchers assume that many virus deaths are going unrecorded in rural areas and are being hidden by other diseases like malaria." - from the resource shared by @Othello

I live in the rural areas and I certainly haven't heard of cases of people dying of breathing difficulties...which tells me that the deaths we've had are the "normal" ones. There must be something we got right in our handling of the virus and I think it is personal hygiene habits... and masking.

I'd think of strong immunity. Watu hawajai tia maanani kuvaa mask. I am within Nairobi and rarely have I met anyone with a mask today. Nmeenda local supermarket na ni mimi nmejipata ma mask tu. Most of the people out there have been behaving the ngima nene way since june.
On deaths in the village, right now I know of 3 people dead of pneumonia, but not from the same location. We know pneumonia is a killer, yet i knew no one who died of it before. A close estimates of the deaths can only be found when the govt releases the number of excess deaths compared to past years if any.

This government is twisted.....nashindwa which people are they testing and what method are they using to get to them.... Honestly if this thing is surely in the country kutakuwa na many unrecorded cases and deaths. Juu most people have stopped taking precautions and are no longer in fear of the virus

They test contacts (those who have been with positives), those of necessity-truck drivers and hotel workers, travellers and high risk groups such as health workers who handle the positives.

First steps to braveness, continue asking those questions and you'll not get an answer as there's none.

Imagine they took samples from my guy akaambiwa aji-isolate before results were released. And sad enough, hajaipata results. Do they expect him continue isolating himself?

Travellers from out of the country.... Huku within hakuna kitu kama io.... Contact tracing nayo niliacha kutrust since numbers ziende chini suddenly.... truck drivers I've heard...but kwa hoteli hapana

They no longer contact trace. I bet all the results are from private facilities. Article inasema the 35k+ people represents the number of positive cases who can afford to pay 😂

Learning what?
That it's airborne and with human-human transmission? WHO waliambiwa kitambo na wakakataa and much later said oooops we should have listened?
That the dead don't transmit? That was known long ago but the fear has to be instilled.
Tell me what are we learning? Isn't GoK just winging it

I spent two days last week helping an American film crew that is documenting the global response and I can tell you contact tracing was very effective in some counties out here.
I find that article has a mournful tone like the author is unhappy people didn't drop like flies the way the likes of Dr Ayah had predicted.
