I would know because two of my neighbours in Kenya have died and three more recovered.
Only one doctor has died since April where I live.
It is not about the numbers reported. It is about the actual fatalities and the situation in hospitals.
It could be a diet or lifestyle issue.

You know because you have been informed. You wouldn't know what you have not been informed

Are you waiting for someone in TZ to die so that you know it exists ama una sema nini?

I know no one and i hope no one I know gets it but that doesnt change the fact that the disease kills and it community spreading in my area.

So what I have learned so far
1) coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like MERS, SARS and COVID-19.
2) there are coronaviruses that have not 'jumped' species and are mainly still in bats. bats being bats are everywhere! they are the animals with the second largest number of species and live everywhere...including kenya where a study shows talks about the existence of Novel SARS-like and Other Coronaviruses in Bats living in Kenya.
4) While it takes a bit of bad luck to get an outbreak started - the next coronavirus outbreak can be from anywhere - Kenya's bats have 41 distinct coronaviruses so it's important to have this problem looked at in the long term.
5) a 1991 study in the journal of virology outlined how Chloroquine (amongst others) slowed down the growth of coronaviruses by raising the PH of the cells. apparently coronaviruses need acidic environments to bind to cell receptors.
6) ibuprofen has been in the news lately as one of the drugs to avoid if you are exhibiting C-19 symptoms. why? it helps them multiply. it also has a low PH.

Conclusion - anything that raises the PH of the body may be effective in stopping the reproduction of coronaviruses in human cells. this is not to mean that eating alkaline foods will translate to raising the PH of your tissues (as digestion may just neutralize it). Perhaps pharmacists and biochemists can tell us what other drugs lower the PH of blood and cell tissues.

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!
