All movement was restricted and controlled at various levels where testing and certification happened such that for one to reach the international airport it was almost certain he or she was virus free. Towards end of February the spread had peaked and started to decline sharply. However the epicenter was fast moving to Italia....but we kept on looking at the total number of infections and not the rate of increase of new cases hence missed the critical hint as exemplified by the complaints about China Southern Airlines. If we thought the disease could only arrive from China persons from China were already arriving anyway through Ethiopian and middle east carriers.
As @ Masukuma says the data was not utilized to inform decision. NB WHO started publishing the daily surveillance data in January 2020. Today in the spirit of supporting SMEs they have banned mitumba again against scientific data on virus survival and propagation.
I saw this and I was facepalming (before I realised I was not supposed to touch my face!!)
Come on guys... I have beef with Mitumba for other reasons but let's not act in Hysteria!! Let's assume someone died today of Corona.. how long will it take for them to pack and sell , then ship the clothes? then get them here to Gikomba, unpack and sell, then you wear it (assume without washing) - that will be what 2-3 months? this virus survives longest what - couple of days outside the body on metal surfaces. less than a week!! it's hysteria!!
I have a feeling most people are yet to grasp BASICS! How does the disease manifest itself?
Why are we washing hands?
