Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in Kenyan blood donorsVery good news so far. In my view the challenge is protecting the elderly most of whom are in rural areas and are at higher risk. In Western Europe, the massacre happened when the virus entered nursing homes. From the report there was zero positive case for 55 - 64 years, which maybe indicates the elderly have been shielding.

When is the peak coming? Amoth had told us by Sept we would be counting how many deaths per day? I thank God this far we have come and am convinced it will not get worse than this. Numbers will continue to grow because of more tests and deaths will be within the normal curve 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.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths in Italy by age groupItaly - IMPACT OF COVID-19 EPIDEMIC ON MORTALITY: CAUSES OF DEATH IN COVID-19 LABORATORY CONFIRMED CASESThe case fatality rate will most likely mainly depend on demographics. In Italy 99% of virus-related deaths occurred in those over 50 years of age; whereas only 1% for 0-49 years. So in sub-sahara Africa with median age of 15-20 years the case fatality rate is expected to be low.

Covid-19 deaths is India"India has registered more than 50,000 Covid-19 deaths, overtaking the UK to become the fourth-worst-affected country for fatalities. But the number of deaths per million people stands at 34 - far lower than what has been reported in Europe or North America.The case fatality rate or CFR, which measures deaths among Covid-19 patients, is just around 2%. Even in badly-hit state like Maharashtra the number of deaths is doubling only in about 40 days. "The death rates have kept low all along, even as cases rose," K Srinath Reddy, president of the think tank, Public Health Foundation of India, told me. Many epidemiologists attribute this relatively low fatality rate to a young population - the elderly are typically more vulnerable to the infection. It is not clear whether other factors like immunity deriving from previous infections from other coronaviruses, are also responsible. Also, they point to a pattern of low mortality in South Asian countries that share a similar demographic of a younger population: reported Covid-19 deaths per million are 22 in Bangladesh and 28 in Pakistan."

Numbers will continue to grow because of more tests and deaths will be within the normal curve I think we are there... the positivity hit rate (number of cases/sample size) has been dropping over the last 2 weeks. cautiously optimistic. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Am told the reason the numbers appear to be going down is largely because the bulk of the results we have been seeing lately are from civil servants' mass testing. So yes, the results we are seeing are from the "wrong sample group" and are therefore misleading.

I must say level of compliance in Nairobi is quite high. Almost everyone has a mask and actual social distancing in matatus. Covid is not even discussed anymore in some African countries.

Parents threaten to sue State if schools do not open SeptQuote:Parents of school going children have threatened to sue the State if it fails to order reopening of schools by September.
They argue countries like Sweden, UK, Japan, Germany, Italy, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, DRC and most States in the USA have reopened their learning institutions for in-person schooling, despite the covid-19 pandemic.
“Our instructions are to demand from you…that you forthwith declare -and not later than August 18 2020- the immediate resumption of open schools and learning institutions in Kenya, which in any event should be open not later than September 1, 2020,” read the written by lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui on behalf of the parents.

I say let kids go back to school. The chances of a vaccine being available to Kenyans by 2021 are perhaps 50%. Just let them go back to school. But put in place a plan to reduce infection. Letting kids stay home is not sustainable.

The issue with Bill Gates and the vaccine is only good news if our thieves cannot steal the vaccine and resell. Its much more difficult to steal a vaccine. But our well connected and highly creative thieves are already scheming. Maybe this time they will sell to other thieves in DRC instead of Tanzania
