In the last two months,I have lost two neighbours in Kenya but none in the place where I live which was the epicenter few months ago.
Surely, Tz can hide number of infections but you can never hide dead bodies.
During the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, some governments tried to hide but then bodies started dropping.
Meanwhile, it took me only three hours to get a test result,in Kenya it is taking a week.
Economically, Kenya has taken a hit also.
EUR was at 114 now it is at 125!
I beg to differ….I consider our policies as a country to be half-assed at best and a dismal failure at the worst.
Not sure where to even begin, especially as far as prepping the health care system for a deluge of critical cases…The number of health care workers (HCW) infected is way too high imho, We did not recruit languishing HCW to join the workforce, only 5000 HCW have been trained to manage Covid cases, insurance will not cover Covid treatment, intensivists and critical care staff are concentrated in private hospitals, Counties may have the beds, but no staff to go with the beds, contact tracing is spotty, people hired to replace contact tracers (to manage other community health issues like prenatal/antenatal care etc) are not paid on time in some areas like mine…and on and on…
Ineptitude met corruption-and here we are. Yet all we hear is personal responsibility blah blah blah….There are limits to what we can do as individuals.
