You can actually ignore all that ‘positivity’ kizungu mingi. The number that really maters is mortality rate, which floats around 1.5%, of the total positive sample. Compare this to Malaria, 5.1% death rate, out of an annual total of over a million positive cases. We have either been coned or our government is incompetent and corrupt, or both. Quote:There are two ways to have the tallest building in town. One is to tear everyone else's building down & the other is to build your building taller. Instead of stepping up the attention given to Malaria, you are proposing that you reduce the attention given to Covid? I am proposing no such thing my, leafy greens brother. However the time for perspective is long past gone. Due to the luck of having a largely youthful population the impact of COVID-19 on Kenya is negligible. At least when compared to monsters like Malaria which kill about 30 Kenyans (most of them children) every day. I know you will argue that credit for keeping COVID at bay should go to our thieving, incompetent Government. About that I beg, no I demand, to defer. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." (Niels Bohr)

I accept this as an apology. But I hope now the wazuans who thought I was jocking when I called your endless stories as myths and legends now they see the truth in it. You realy wasted your time and also our time but tumekusamehea. 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...

Beligum study shows that low doses of Hydroxychloroquine could heal Covid19. Study released on 24/8 possibly not peer reviewed. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

It was that it could be effective in later stage now it's earlier... All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Why are you always against positive corona cure news, to the extent of dismissing the respected Belgian scientists? Why believe the netherland scientists and not the belgian scientists? FYI your netherlands study has not been peer reviewed. Anyway scientists from universities in the US, Germany and Madagascar now say the Madagascan herbal cure works. https://uknow.uky.edu/re...sing-treatment-covid-19

@Matharu is actually quite objective. He is on record saying he argues just for fun and doesn't seek any objectives. In fact he is on our side--- the positive thinkers. Only one word can describe him jackass 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...

Read it again and again! where did I say Quote: [I] argue[s] just for fun and doesn't seek any objectives where? Kaka, Najua unajua Kusoma - tumia hiyo skill vizuri! my words are measured and targeted... they mean to COMMUNICATE WHAT I WROTE! not what you think you read or think I said or meant to say!

Poverty could be saving Africa from devastation Quote:"It's a hypothesis. Some level of pre-existing cross-protective immunity… might explain why the epidemic didn't unfold [the way it did in other parts of the world]," said Prof Madhi, explaining that data from scientists in the US appeared to support the hypothesis.
Colds and flu are, of course, commonplace around the world.
But the South African scientists wondered whether, because those viruses spread more effectively in overcrowded neighbourhoods, poorer communities might have been more widely exposed and therefore, enjoy a larger degree of immunity towards Covid-19.
The same, of course, could apply to other parts of the world, like India, with similar challenges.
"The protection might be much more intense in highly populated areas, in African settings. It might explain why the majority [on the continent] have asymptomatic or mild infections," said Prof Madhi.
"I can't think of anything else that would explain the numbers of completely asymptomatic people we're seeing. The numbers are completely unbelievable," he said, savouring the irony of the possibility that Africa's entrenched poverty might "for once" work in the continent's favour.
Sceptics though might point to countries like Brazil, with its crowded favelas, and its high infection rate. https://www.bbc.com/news..._twitter_impression=true

Africa needs to embrace science (scientific research, the mathematics, graphs, charts, etc) and move away from the middle Ages type of thinking. This is the reason we are still plagued with poverty and ignorance almost 60 years after independence.
