Ni kubaya sasa. I beleive more testing will reveal more people have contacted the disease.

I'm not sure whether Kenya keeps data of people who have flu. But look at USA data for October, November and December of people who went to hospitals for flu like symptoms. This clearly shows that Corona virus ilikuwa imefika just that it wsnt documented officially. So to your question, if more antibody tests are done, wengi watapatikana washawahi ipata.

You expect critical officers wa nunue?
No, I don't. If your job requires it then the employer is obligated to provide it. I was thinking of PSV passengers and bodabodas.

Come to think of it. I have heard a rumour from an area with your colleges that the government will be outsourcing stitching of masks to local tailors. I hope it's for you and crew.

Remember those poor sods who were forced into quarantine after arriving at JKIA? They have become the breeding pool.

I emphathize with those people in quarantine. Why cant the government make it safer for those unable to afford four star hotels quarantine? Why don't they have sufficient space to enhance physical distancing? Why not use that 2K they are paying per day to provide them with personal protection gear. This is unfair.

BTW, do we have an antibody test yet? @Abba kuja.

How have you determined it was corona and not just the flu?

Ok. But even that is unsubstantiated. Even they can't say it was corona for sure. It could just have been a nasty flu.
You are drawing a conclusion when all you have is a hypothesis.
According to the New Scientist, Coronavirus may have been circulating undetected in the US for 6 weeks before the first case was identified officially on Jan 21.

Alright but that is a probability of an occurrence. It is not a certainty as you have put it up there.

"Covid-19 could already be circulating in the US, according to similar genetic sequences in viruses from two people who contracted the disease several weeks apart. The sequence of the virus in their sample closely matches that in the first infection detected in the US, on 21 January"...New Scientist

Correlation =\= causation.
