We (predictably) lost the plot. That is now 41 health care workers and their families out of commission for a while.

Please expound on the provision of basic economic needs.

Things getting mysterious and dicey.

COVID-19 aid food distribution in Uganda had its fair share of scandals. Claims abound of tenderpreneurs and the money being used to fund next year campaigns for the ruling NRM party.

I believe Uganda has been successful in having low covid-19 cases and fatalities due to the following:

- Uganda has prior experience from tackling ebola from DRC.

- M7 is very hands on and treated this covid disease very seriously from onset.

-A large proportion (78%) of the population is below 30 years.

-Entebbe is located 40km from Kampala and most incoming covid cases were quarantined within Entebbe even though some were quarantined in Kampala. This reduced community transmission cases.

-The government unleashed security agents (UPDF, police and LDUs) to enforce closure of non-essential businesses, halt all public means of public passenger transport including buses, matatus, uber/bolt and boda-bodas. Unfortunately the security agencies have thus so far killed more people than covid.

- Passenger cars unless exempted for essential services were also banned till end of May

-Testing and denying entry of covid infected truck drivers from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, SS and others. These numbers were also excluded from the official tally.

-Very effective contract tracing carried in-conjunction with intelligence operatives. Very many culprits were caught this sneaking through the borders from Tz, SS and DRC.

I hate to admit it, but Uganda seems to be taming the dragon of corruption.

My favourite example from Ug, is the arrest and jailing of former NSSF MD David Jamwa. He was actually caught trying to sneak into Kenya.

His crime; selling government treasury bonds held by NSSF to Crane bank before maturity which made NSSF lose the maturity value plus the final interest payment, totalling to UGX. 1.6B.

The supreme court also upheld the 12 year sentence even after he appealed.

So you have been out fishing and this is what you found? Pole bro. Go back to your small pond and try again.
It's all about collapse of the health care as a whole but even with the pandemic beds are still empty.

Ata haulali? Is it that you don't believe Rona exists?


As a public health initiative, we should allow the govt to track our phones. Once one is diagnosed with Covid, contact tracing should be done on wherever that person passed by and whoever they came across. This invasion of privacy is permitted for the better good

Google and Apple have already rolled out the API on Android and iOS respectively. Only the government is left to allow the installation of tracing apps.

Quote:

Apple and Google today rolled out their digital contact tracing technology that can be used by public health agencies to track COVID-19.

In early April, the two tech giants announced they were collaborating to build Bluetooth-based technology to aid in the fight against the pandemic.

Apple and Google's exposure notification application programming interface (API) will now be available to states, public health agencies and governments to build apps that will notify people via smartphone if they've come into contact with someone with the coronavirus.

To see it on Android phone; Go to Settings then Google. You will see COVID-19 Exposure Notifications.

Please note this is not app, rather it is an API to enable apps built by health authorities to work better.
