Konyagi- acts too late

The Amoth guy got a question from the journalists today as to why Kenya has numbers as high as mountain everest compared to Our sister countries and his response was that it is because in Kenya we do testing than them.

Do those guys at MoH understand what is going on kweli.

Tanzanians aren't on curfew
Ugandans are on a state of emergency and both countries seem to have this under control

On that, they are right. Hapa Burundi they did not have a case because they did not bother to test or did not have the facilities to. Once they did the numbers started popping up.

There is also a colleration between GDP and number of cases which tells you if more people you have more people living and working in and around large cities which probably serve as points of entry as well the higher your cases of the virus.

I think you should know that the means of testing in EA States is almost the same but I always ask myself why Addis Ababa numbers don't shoot exponentially like ours yet they host AU and have a busy airline/airport than ours. Look at how Ug n Tz report their numbers as from they first reported the first case
 
What is the correlation between testing and deaths? Coz with the current world trend, it seems more testing = more death cases except from Germany. The world average fatality rate is around 4%. Which begs the question kwani testing ndio inauwa watu? Is it that we've tested just the only people infected with this virus and that's why we've kept up with the world average?

That is not the right way to look at it. These are just figures. If we did not test we wouldn't know who is dying and from what.

You would be shocked to learn more people die from treatable diseases than covid, but the only reason you are worried about the deaths is because they are being tallied and reported daily.

Once the mass testing kicks off we will have a higher number infections and a higher number of deaths.

A better way to plot survivability would be to use the number of those in the intensive care unit vs deaths. That percentage will probably be higher than 4% but it is more accurate because it removes less severe infection cases that distort the final figure. But it is not politically correct in a chaotic health emergency.

Exactly my point. In short testing 'kills'

Being part of the sub-Saharan Africa, we have more deadlier diseases like Malaria, TB which are somehow masking the corona fatality rate

What you are not getting is they will die anyway whether they are tested or not and probably die in higher numbers because they were not identified earlier for treatment to be most effective.

But these numbers can be obtained by MoH & Register of Persons and therefore an accurate fatality rate. Case in point huyo jamaa wa Siaya amezikwa usiku hapo juu kwa thread
