Cameroon Citizens Raised $40M for COVID Relief, But Where is It?
YAOUNDE - Cameroon has bowed to pressure from rights groups and ordered investigations into the management of the COVID-19 solidarity fund contributed to by civilians. The rights groups said most of the $40 million cash and material had been embezzled. An outcry was sparked after rights groups said 4,000 bags of rice donated to COVID-19 patients were illegally sold.
About two dozen people are this Monday morning at the Messassi government hospital in Cameroon’s capital Yaounde for consultations. Among them is 27-year- old Ernestine Sahmo who is visiting for her weekly diabetes control. Sahmo says she and other patients are surprised at the absence of COVID-19 prevention kits at the hospital.
"Most of the time you go there and there is no water. You just find a bucket being placed there without any water in it and at times too you don’t even meet soap," she said.

Female MP with HIV tests positive for COVID-19 https://www.k24tv.co.ke/...ive-for-covid-19-24363/
Quote:Zambian MP Princess Kasune Zulu, who is living with HIV and is a prominent AIDS activist, has announced that she has tested positive for Covid-19.
Ms Zulu, a member of the opposition United Party for National Development, was tested last Thursday.
Some 15 Zambian MPs have so far tested positive for Covid-19, according to health minister Chitalu Chilufya.
Parliamentary sittings have been indefinitely suspended.
Ms Zulu told the BBC that she was not surprised by the test results, partly because Zambia’s parliament had initially continued holding sittings despite the rise in coronavirus numbers.
“I guess one saw it coming given the laissez-faire attitude we have in Zambia towards the health guidelines, and seeing that at parliament we had continued meeting in person when we should have carried on business from our homes via virtual systems,” she said.
Ms Zulu bemoaned Zambia’s slow response to Covid-19.
Zambia has to date reported 4,481 coronavirus cases since March and 139 deaths.

I told you. Everything is worringly so relaxed. Bars are full and taxis full to capacity. Why is the disease wreaking havoc in some areas and other areas? Kenya in particular appears highly susceptible. I think it's not the disease per se but rather the sensitivity of a society to diseases - In Sub Saharan Africa we are used to death from diseses (I once wrote about how 90%+ of the 400K+ annual deaths from Malaria are in subsaharan africa) and we don't care. I grew up in Nakuru and had lots of Malaria and so it became normalized... when you talk to a Mzungu... Traveled abroad and when you talk about Malaria the Mzungu told me it's a terrible disease to have! the one person who got it describes it in very vivid terms... but since we have been used to magonjwa, umaskini and ujinga (Poverty, Ignorance and Disease) we assume that it's normal to be sick... Most people don't even take days off when they are ill. we have normalized ignorance and rationalized poverty. That may explain Africa's response to this disease... we were hoping for a spectacular disease but it is a disease that largely has symptoms similar to what we have had before and especially those places where Malaria is rather serious like west africa. After all 95%+ of People seem to recover without problems... then it looks tame. People don't usually go to the doctor when they suffer mild/moderate symptoms. I only go to the doctor when things are thick... Mzungu will go at the earliest discomfort. I think within subsaharan africa Kenya seems to be taking this disease seriously and rightly so... it does not mean that we are dying more than these countries (Kenya and Cameroon have the approximately the same number of official cases but fewer deaths). People should not normalize getting sick. Look... Quote:Bondo OCPD dies after developing breathing problems Mkapa died after a short illness (Malaria and Heart Attack)... if you check the symptoms of the disease (Uliza @Mphobiz... there are aspects of it that are Malaria like)... but if you don't attribute it properly you may not recogize it.... itakuwa "homa tu". All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Hear, hear. Madam Administrator (MIA) would pin this if she were active. For the record @Masukuma, I'm stealing this without your consent, approval, and or otherwise without any further recourse to you.

Meanwhile we have those drugs she mentioned in the house.We shall try all incase. The very deep color indicates that the highest no of cases are at the border points close to TZ and UG. To UG we are the suppliers of the virus to TZ we are the receivers. From that point, the virus has spread to Mks Nrb etc What would hurt if we closed the border with Tanzania, deal with our situation contain ourselves as we create temp hospitals at the border then open up? Meanwhile citizens should be urged to wear masks properly walking around with noses out is not helping. Does brookside distribute milk to TZ? everybody is hurting so close for two weeks to contain it then we move from there. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

What have we done with Covid-19 billions? - Virus positive PS
-PS tested positive last week and questioned country's management of pandemic.
-PS says none of his contacts have been reached by the government.
• Days before virus arrived in Kenya, Macharia termed as “short-sighted, careless and xenophobic” Kenyans who raised red flag about government’s handling of pandemic.
A principal secretary who tested positive for Covid-19 has questioned the country’s management of the pandemic and wondered what the billions spent so far have achieved.
Foreign Affairs PS Macharia Kamau tested positive for the virus last week and was forced to hand over his duties to political and diplomatic secretary Ambassador Tom Amollo.
But Macharia regretted that "the government’s contact tracing has collapsed, there is no access to proper care and even more tragic is that there is no medical insurance cover for the virus".
“For all the billions that have been spent on this campaign, it’s hard to imagine that at the point of contact where the disease actually happens, there is no system to make sure that we have access to proper care and the proper contact tracing is actually done to keep track of those who are not well or maybe infecting others,” Macharia said in a WhatsApp group of top government officials, seen by the Star.
