But okiya, do you want to bet on that?
Burundi Tanzania and Sweden failed to use masks. Had they used the masks, they would have been successful. Look at the countries that wearing of masks is part of life and check the statistics of corona virus.

How did New Zealand deal with it?
Ok, here is what i would have expected, increase the budget for the health ministry to start proper mass testing, equip the testing labs better and hire more lab technicians, infact they should spread these labs all over the country instead of flying testing samples all the way to nairobi, rather than destroy sonko's sanitazation booths, increase them into every bus stop and market, there are lots of things that could have been done, that can be done, that are not being done. 4 months is more than adequate time to do all this is the face of a pandemic plus billions of shillings given to them...
Sina info how New Zealand dealt with it. But share

Yeah that would work. But if you watch other governments they are all learning. It is like an open scientific experiment.
Sure. We bet 10k. That a year down the line they will say that wearing of face masks and washing hands was enough to reduce the spread

New Zealand hits zero active coronavirus cases. Here are 5 measures to keep it that way
New Zealand has “eliminated” COVID-19 “for now”, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has declared. Two key epidemiologists who worked on NZ’s elimination strategy explain the news, and the challenges ahead.

Not comprehensive but you can build on it from there

seems like a very skewed bet Okiya. You have covered all the likely outcomes
That there is the problem, we are just waiting to be told what to do instead of providing solutions. Anyway mimi i have already accepted the virus, its best that everybody else does the same as soon as possible and go back to hustling
How do you want the bet to be?

On that link you've sent, New Zealand number one strategy was "1. Establish public use of fabric face masks in specific settings"

I opt out of the bet for "ethical reasons"
The ethical thing would be for governments to stop fear mongering and tell people that masks work in reducing the spread and that life can continue with masks.

It will happen with capacity building
The virus first landed on March 15th. It's a shame that three months later we're talking about capacity building.

To be fair nobody foresaw its resilience. It was comparable to SARS which went by without us feeling an ich

Capacity building is a never ending cycle. identify problem, devise solutions, implement, evaluate, identify new problems/inadequacies, devise new responses incorporating new knowledge, repeat.
