A lockdown is not sustainable, and we all need to be infected, or vaccinated. So why don't we gamify this thing.

Develop a realtime surveillance of the most vulnerable population segment and offer support. For example, we can support a heart condition through a corvid infection.

The rest of us minus the children, wear a mask, wash hands, practice maximum caution instead of self isolation - I doubt if this is possible for most households - and wait to pass the initiation into the twenty first century.

The game could be about getting infected after the longest wait and infecting the least people while sick. Prize?


Interesting article on the various strategies people use to address outbreaks

The virus is also about the shift in global power.




Yes epidemics shift power in profound ways. The British after bringing the spanish flu to our shores, gave us the bible and took our lands. We were left singing kumbaya as they measured acres of land for demobilized British troops.

If it wasn't for the smallpox and rinderpest the Maasai would be perpetual occupants at Statehouse and the Rendile would be 2nd biggest tribe.

Being a virus coming from very cold areas and being brought by those coming from there, will the virus shy from coming out in the tropics and claim victims in a strange land Or will it mutate to fit in the new environment?



Its summer time in Australia and the heat is not stopping it.

Being that it's novel - from animal to human, scientists are still studying it and they are using China South Korea and Singapore as success stories. If it has been spreading, we might go through the phases that US, UK and Italy are going through now.

Hope that there's no community spread taking place


From what i've been told trying to suppress a virus of this nature is a futile exercise. Once containment failed then the next logical step is to let it burn through the population. The only thing you do is to mitigate. China once it releases its pop. from lock-down the virus will explode once again.

There is more bad news coming in the months ahead. Get comfortable with hearing 1000 deaths per day. You are adults deal with it.

Tough times don't last but tough people do.

Jeso Britain is hoping 60% of its population gets infected ndio they develop herd immunity

Millions of Britons will need to contract coronavirus in order to control the impact of the disease which is likely to return "year on year", the government's chief scientific adviser has told Sky News.

Now what is the population of britain vis-a-vis the mortality rate of the virus


This is the best way to deal with this kind of thing. How will we know how to deal with this thing ig we don't allow it to infect as many people as it can then we as we learn how to fight it our bodies will adopt too.
I hope you have all heard that not even one single child under the age of 10 has died of this Carolina world wide. That's tells you the most vulnerable people are people like you reading this post.

Really ???

I am looking at Nigeria's experience with this virus and maybe we are over-reacting.

The president says 27 people were tested and only 2 tested positive. That is quite encouraging.

ADDRESS TO THE NATION BY H.E. UHURU KENYATTA, C.G.H, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE FORCES ON COVID-19, COMMONLY KNOWN AS CORONAVIRUS

My Fellow Kenyans.

On Friday March 13th, 2020 the Government of Kenya received confirmation of the first case of COVID-19, commonly known as Coronavirus.

As you may recall, when we first announced the confirmation of the first case, we stated that we had traced 27 persons who had come into contact with the first patient. We have since tested the 27 people at our National Influenza Center.

Today, we have received confirmation of two more cases of the Coronavirus. The two have tested positive as a result of coming into contact with the first patient.

Our health officials have already moved them into Kenyatta National Hospital isolation facility.

The medical teams are closely monitoring the patients, who are in stable condition and responding well to treatment. This gives us hope.

Fellow Kenyans,

My Government has been working to monitor the spread of the virus. We have set up necessary containment and treatment protocols across the country. However, following the result of the two additional cases, we are now directing the following additional protocols:

¥ The Government is suspending travel for all persons coming into Kenya from any country with reported Coronavirus cases.

¥ Only Kenyan Citizens, and any foreigners with valid residence permits will be allowed to come in provided they proceed on self quarantine or to a government designated quarantine facility.

This will take effect within the next 48 hours to cater for any passengers who may be enroute. This directive will remain in effect for the next 30 days or as varied by the National Emergency Response Committee.

¥ All persons who have come into Kenya in the last 14 days must self-quarantine. If any person exhibits symptoms such as cough, or fever, they should present themselves to the nearest health facility for testing;

¥ We have suspended learning in all our education institutions with immediate effect. Consequently, and to facilitate a phased approach, primary and secondary day schools are to suspend operations from tomorrow.

¥ For those in boarding schools, the school administration is to ensure that students are home by Wednesday, 18th March 2020 while Universities and Tertiary Institutions are to close by Friday, 20th March 2020;

¥ Where possible, government offices, businesses and companies are encouraged to allow employees to work from home, with the exception of employees working in critical or essential services.

¥ In order to avoid the risk of transmission through physical handling of money, we encourage the use of cashless transactions such as mobile money and credit cards. We appeal to mobile operators and banks to take into consideration the situation, and reduce the cost of transactions during this period.

¥ In line with the directive to avoid crowded places, citizens are encouraged to:

¥ Avoid congregating including in places of worship;
¥ Minimize attendance to social gatherings including weddings and funerals, and restrict the same to immediate family members;
¥ Avoid crowded places including shopping malls and entertainment premises;
¥ Minimize congestion in public transport wherever possible;


¥ Limitation of visitors to hospitalised patients in both public and private hospitals.

¥ Hospitals and shopping malls are encouraged to provide soap, water and hand sanitizers and ensure that all their premises are regularly cleaned and disinfected.

Globally, the impact of the virus is still unfolding. I want to assure you that My Administration is at the forefront of assessing, containing and managing this pandemic in the country.

Some of the measures may cause inconvenience, but I want to assure you they are designed to ensure that we effectively contain the spread of the virus.

I appeal to all of us to strictly observe these measures. I would also like to appeal for calm. Kenyans must avoid misinformation that causes panic and anxiety.

Let us remember that as Kenyans, we have been faced with other crisis in the past, and we have always triumphed by coming together in the spirit of national unity and cooperation.

Every single Kenyan has a responsibility in ensuring they play their part in safeguarding Kenyan lives.

This pandemic will test us, as it is testing all countries in every corner of the world, but I do not believe it will defeat us. If we pull together, and everybody does their part, we shall overcome its worst impacts.

God bless you all, God bless Kenya

Kizungu ni ngumu. 2 more with a close association with the first.

We were not planning but busy racially profiling the Chinese and suggesting Africans could be immune.
