@Tycho, this Sunday, our plot is the venue of one of those Church-Based Chama cum Prayer meetings.

We are talking about 20-30 women crammed into that narrow corridor between the apartments.

In such a situation, social distancing ceases to exist.

We, the committee of the Nyumba Kumi committee, had asked the Chama committee to suspend these meetings.

The Chama committee declined.

A Chama member even had the effrontery to quote President Uhuru, who said: "Even Science requires God".

Do we call for Police assistance to prevent such a meeting?

That was the gist of my quoting The Economist and seeking your opinion on religion and The Virus.


It is true that even science needs religion. So a step I would recommend is recognition of the validity of religious congregation working with science. If possible, help design a solution.

The option of the police is valid if the audience fails to appreciate the need for a proper solution.

Imagine the following scenario: if you call the police, then the worst would be taking them to prison, which needs to decongest urgently. You would be shifting covid to your neighbor.

So even the police are supposed to mediate and not twanga twanga!

Much as I detest bringing politics into The Virus Issue, our local Kirinyaga Politics appears to be in a muddle where public health is concerned.

Kenya Medical Research Institute, in the current situation, ought to be the premier institution in Kenya where matters health are concerned.

Imagine my angst when a friend residing in the US forwards me a link to this article.

Quote:
The fallout between Kemri and the governor started when the former decided to build a research centre either in Western or Mt Kenya region.

Eventually, Kirinyaga was chosen as the host county.

The county donated 100 acres of land for the Sh15 billion project.

Kemri was supposed to built a level five hospital and a training wing at the research centre.

Kirinyaga’s first Governor Joseph Ndathi told the Sunday Nation that the project guaranteed Kirinyaga people 30 per cent of non-skilled jobs.

Mr Ndathi’s administration agreed to issue Kemri a title deed.

However, Ms Waiguru is yet to hand over the document.

A week after Ms Waiguru appeared to have had the backing of the president on the issue, powerful Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho toured the site of the project in Mwea, and called the delay in the commencement “stupidity”.

Mr Kibicho comes from Kirinyaga.

When church doors close...
And dance floors reject the dancers
When clubs no longer solace give...
And loved ones with we deny welcome
Then know these are the end times.

When to no superpower we look
Hoping their great minds a vaccine will give
When our colonizers now cower
Shaken and beaten than us

Then know these are the end times.

When no bells chime in Rome...
And no music flows from the basilicas
When the Pope to the wind preaches
With none daring enough to listen
Then know these are the end times.

But the sun each day shines
Its rosy fingers spreading from above
This is hope that God still lives
And if He lives then we have another chance!

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...

A more apt scenario would be Stephen Saunders and his acquired Cordilla Virus in 24 Season Three.

It looks he had one more virus viral hidden somewhere that he did not mention.

It was out there somewhere and someone released.

Jack Bauer is in a Russian Gulag and was, therefore, not available to stop the attack.

Have a look at this for background information. https://24.fandom.com/wiki/Stephen_Saunders

A rule of thought is this: if it has happened to others, then it will happen to us.

For analysis purposes I am taking Spain as a model country we can compare with, despite difference in demographics. We share a comparable population size, and may compare in terms of muscle.

1. We know that they have abandoned their test kits from China for their lack of accuracy.

2. Spain is likely to peak at around 80,000 cases

3. They are on lockdown and might tighten it

The UK approach also compares well with Kenya's condition. And now they are going to tighten their lockdown for 'a significant period'.

Interpretation: it makes no sense to wait and see our figures rise. Doing so increases the number in fact, and we'll find ourselves in the worst case scenario. It is the same scenario that we so wish to avoid. Otherwise we (Kenya) may peak at over 100,000 cases and total deaths could be over 10,000 deaths. Serious cases: 20,000. Probability for survival? 50:50 just like in the UK.

If we do a lockdown under such circumstances most of us will lose it, especially given our operating conditions.

Therefore, this is a decisive week. If we waste it, we're likely to pay dearly. If we don't want a lockdown by force, then let's put some of these recommendations to public attention and let every citizen act accordingly.

"They" have never forgotten who was responsible for the holocaust and 911 memorials will be built. The one certainty repercussions will happen watching media outlets such as fox news tells you whats coming once they conquer the virus.

But how the do that against the chinise is another thread altogether
