Nor can one explain why a councillor would stockpile emergency food parcels meant for the poor for their own family, or why another councillor would divert water tankers en route to a needy community to their own home.
It is impossible to discern what drives an entire family whose member stole funds meant for unemployed workers to go on a spending spree, buying cars, paying for renovations and beauty treatments, and even tombstones.
Attempting to profit from a disaster that is claiming the lives of our people every day is the action of scavengers. It is like a pack of hyenas circling wounded prey.

We did not need a study to tell us that wearing a mask below the nose doesn't do shit...But here is the scientific evidenceExcerpt: "..mapped locations in the respiratory tract where the COVID-19 virus most quickly invades, multiplies and spreads. They found the cells that line the nose were significantly more likely to become infected and shed virus compared to the throat or lungs. That means, every time a person exhales through their nose, they are likely generating a higher concentration of infectious aerosol than if they were simply breathing from their mouth.It also means, in order to block that infectious cloud from escaping to infect other people, it's just as important to cover your nose with a mask." Angel na wengineo in media, someone please do a public info campaign on this...

He was chairing a meeting. https://www.nation.co.ke...apses-and-dies--1905412[/quote] I have counted like 7 news items of people dropping dead while going on with their daily chores this month All of them middle aged men QUOTE FROM THE DAILY NATION: "In the last 48 hours, 28 lives have been lost to Covid-19, even as the positive cases rose to 22, 053.
“This disease has left a trail of pain and anguish as families mourn their loved ones,” Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said last month. An analysis of the deaths shows that it is only female teenagers aged between 10-19 who have not reported any deaths, even as men over 60 years continue to form the bulk of the Covid-19 fatalities at 33 per cent.
The data shows that men aged between 50-60 years were the second high-risk group at 15 per cent, followed by those in the 40-50 age bracket at 14 per cent.
Despite the women in these three groups being at greater risk, they still formed a lower percentage of the fatalities at nine per cent for those over 60 years, six per cent for those between 50-59, and five per cent for those between 40-49 years."Why the stark disparity between sexes? Men have more underlying sicknesses that they don't treat as required. Plus they are also poor and careless in following Covid guidelines aka protocols. Plus slow in seeking treatment. Generally villages are full of widows than widowers! Plus most smokers are men and lung health is a factor of severity of disease. What I heard is to the contrary. Smoking is not a factor when it comes to servere symptoms of this infection. Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

Let me leave this here *Copied and Shared......* Good morning great friends. I want to plead with all of us to spread the gospel of the reality of this pandemic-Covid. The last one or so week has been harrowing to the Ogola family and clan. In a span of 7 days we have 48 infectioms in the family including my 80 year old mum. She has been struggling in the icu for the last 5 days. My 61 year old brother Moses Osoro Ogola succumbed within 24 hrs of admissiom. Every one who surrounded my mother including my step mum, her son's daughter in laws, grandchildren, cousins and workers have all tested positive. As Kagwe repeatedly say "lets not treat this thing normally coz it will treat as abnormally" My worry now is ,? Is the whole family and village being wiped out. Put us in your prayers. *Gordon Ogola Advocate Nakuru* Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

Maybe these Kenya experts need to widen their scope of data. In Texas USA, the average temperature since May has been ranging from 85F to 102F, that is 29c to 39c degrees daily. In terms of Covid 19 numbers the trend has been upward with 442,014 cases being reported since May 1. Nonetheless, I dont blame them even Fauci's team thought this and even mentioned that the sun might help to bring down the numbers....what happened, sun states California Texas Arizona and Florida opened early now they are grappling. California, Texas and Florida now have more numbers than NY. Sad Note. Tx numbers are now going down after the Gov ordered a mandatory mask/facial covering everywhere, closed bars and reduced the number of people in a building to 25% capacity for social distancing. This thing has no other option apart from cleaning and sanitizing, social distancing and facial covering. I was very encouraged by Qatar's numbers we should strive to that. I just came from a meeting where someone mentioned that we should treat masks like we treat our underwear.  Interesting times "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

to be fair... those guys see real patients... people here on Wazua dig through a lot of information. They also do lots of correlation. The worst thing you would do is take medical advice from an anonymous guy on the internet. The doctors see real patients - follow them. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Only 2.5% of Italians have Covid-19 antibodies, government study shows"According to the survey, almost a third of those who tested positive for antibodies were asymptomatic and the most frequent source of infection, in 41.7 % of the cases, is from a relative living in the same house."

As we wrote earlier antibodies are lost in less than 4 months especially for asymptomatic cases - so the 2.5% are fairly recent infections. What it seems is that long term Immuninity is granted through T cells. They remember the infection and when attacked later... they instruct the immune system to produce the needed antibodies. The T Cells that remember the old SARs seem to be long lived (17 years to date) - so it may be that once you get Covid... you should get lifetime (or at least long term) immunity All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
