Identify problem: Corona virus
Devise solutions : masks
Implement: masks made mandatory
Evaluate: We are yet to be told by the local health officials on the success of wearing of masks.

So April 10th KEMRI said they can tests 35,000 daily. Two months later how are we faring?

People moved on with their lives. I have been observing people and truth be said, people are no longer washing their hands. Sanitizers aren't readily available to Wanjikus in the market places. We can acknowledge that the earlier panic mode preached earlier three months ago could have really played a pivotal role

Is this your latest piece of science? What happened to doomsday modelling and hydroxy?
I saw you guys relied on research done by a pornstar to discredit hydroxychloroquine. But that fell flat on your faces. HCQ works.

It is ironical most of the infected coming into Kenya were from Europe.

2400 tests per day is not just dismal, it is inadequate and almost useless, you see every other decision is informed by the results obtained through testing so without sufficient testing capacity every other decision is based more on assumptions, fear, instinct, intuition and guesswork.
And it is not just testing capacity that is lacking, isolation and treatment capacity is underwhelming, ICU facilities arent sufficient either and no one really knows how effective surveillance and track n trace systems since they havent even bothered to create one specifically for covid19, it is safe to say it is shit too.
It is nice to be optimistic but all signs indicate the Uhuru administration is going to stay true to their reputation for being both wasteful and as effective as a man attempting to chop down a tree with a blunt axe.

If Sweden had insisted on masks, they would have succeeded

Sweden:
"Sweden’s death rate per capita was the highest in the world over the seven days to 2 June, figures suggest. This week the government bowed to mounting opposition pressure and promised to set up a commission to look into its Covid-19 strategy.
“If we were to encounter the same disease again knowing exactly what we know about it today, I think we would settle on doing something in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done,” Tegnell said. It would be “good to know exactly what to shut down to curb the spread of infection better”, he added."

This is the third time I'm mentioning it in this thread, Sweden didn't make masks mandatory. That was the problem.

I posted to just illustrate that nobody approached the virus from exact science, and that's why approaches have been different with different results.
Sad that in hindsight some of us can use extreme adjectives to discredit the methods and strategies of those who tried to do something.

And its not like they,the critics,had alternatives strategies and methods that were dismissed out of hand.

I did not contest the decision to impose lockdowns or curfews, that isnt my argument.
My stand is that our government made the right decisions but backed them with little investment and poor effort, of course the excuse is that we are a poor nation with limited resources and expertise, the problem is simply that we spend too little on healthcare (3.7% only in the yr 2020/2021 budget unveiled this week, about Kshs 2775 per person), we are simply set up to fail.

Why are you guys arguing with know-it-alls? DUNIA YOOOTE IMESHUT DOWN AND YOU ARE HERE ARGUING WITH A JAMAA IN A BEDSITTER LIKE HE'S A WORLD-RENOWNED EPIDEMIOLOGIST? Kwani hamna kazi ya kufanya?
Evidence ya mask came out as early as April. We are now in June still on lockdown. I don't think as a country we have our own strategy. We see what europe is doing then we copy too. The problem is when it comes to economic recovery, we won't copy Europe. We'll be on our own.
