Am comforted by the fact that DG Kilifi had contact with his boss Kilifi Governor and the Governor did not get it. Meaning coming into contact with a carrier does not mean you automatically get it.
It think the notion that being in contact with an infected person automatically means that they will pass the disease is misguided by the narratives out there.
We need to get back to the basics of this disease and forget things like spraying the streets or mass sanitizers (cattle dips for people) that have very doubtful science behind them.
Remember the disease is spread when you intake the virues via your mouth, nose and eyes. How does it get there? mostly through the hands and that is why people are asked to wash their hands (not touch your face - if you can). How does it get to the hands? someone sneezes or coughs into the hands.
The second means is spread through the air in short distances (coughing, sneezing or 'speaking'). but ideally, these would be in symptomatic cases.
Touching surfaces that have been exposed to the viruses and then TOUCHING YOUR FACE. Will lead to a possible infection.
The average transmission rate of Covid-19 is such that 1 infected person infects between 2 and 3 people. Things chickenpox and measles have this transmission rate of between 10-12 and 12–18 respectively.
the dangerous thing about this disease is when the person becomes infectious - the asymptomatic transmissions and mild cases transmissions happen to be the problem. the other diseases usually transmit when the patient is symptomatic.
