They don't know whether what they have is a lockdown or what. They are trying to feed their hungry, but with 1m people claiming joblessness, I don't know how they can hold. Their lockdown is likely to disintegrate sooner rather than later. Meanwhile many countries have moved to 3 figures and I see Kenya, in its athletic fashion is fast catching up. I hope to remain alive and see off these incompetent governments. Let me go and work.

Quote: According to Prof. Dr Lyubima Despotova, president of the Bulgarian Society for Long-Term Care and Palliative Medicine, the worldwide distribution map of COVID-19 “overlaps” with the vaccine policy map. Countries that have abandoned BCG are currently in the midst of the epidemic and are heavily affected. She cited the example of Germany – which publishes a map tracing the development of the epidemic throughout its territory and illustrating the spread of the disease in great detail – and stressed that there is a significant difference between former East Germany and former West Germany: the former GDR is up to three times less affected. Another example she gave is Portugal, which practiced BCG vaccination, unlike Spain, one of the most affected countries. A possible glimpse of hope comes from the fact that BCG vaccination has been widespread in developing countries. Or maybe Eastern European countries took this thing more seriously than the rest.

When Members of the County Assembly cite deficiency in health delivery as a credible reason to impeach Her Excellency, then Houston, we have a problem. Quote: Why Kirinyaga Ward Reps Want To Kick Waiguru Out By Joseph Muchiri 02nd Apr 2020 Waiguru was also accused of violation of the right to health of the people of Kirinyaga County where through omission or commission, she "caused the health sector to run into disarray and into a deplorable state that has compromised and undermined the realisation of the right to the highest attainable health standard of the people of Kirinyaga". In her rebuttal, Waiguru said all the public health facilities are fully staffed and working very well. “With all our challenges, these facilities have never been better. Our only concern is the coronavirus, which may compromise even our best efforts. Yet we are being asked to leave the health effort and concentrate on dealing with petty issues,” she said.

But this stuff is scary when you consider those numbers from Italy, Spain, USA ALso considering a lot of people could be asymptomatic carriers. Or will have mild symptoms like that Brenda lady(Giving her story the benefit of doubt). Spreading it all over!

Spreading it all over! how is lockdown a cure in a system where people live from hand to mouth? 21 of the 22 the new cases are from mandatory quarantine (a measure) not the general public walking around in the larger public?

In huge cities such as Lagos, Mumbai or Manila, instructing people to stay at home is to confine millions to cramped housing. In the slums where up to half the population may live, people could be crammed six or eight to a room, with no easy access to water, or even soap. Arundhati Roy, the Indian author and political activist, has called the lockdown not an act of social distancing but rather one of “social compression”.
