UK briefings are different, few people far apart. Its not a us vs them. And Trump's doctors usually speak. 2 WHO employees have tested positive, is that the aim? Am highlighting that we are not practicing what we preach. In America, every mayor is issuing briefings parallel to Trump and most of them have cut out the entourage. You never know who met who.

Then after that we pray Quoting is not the issue but rather the glee with which you announce "we are on our own". Is it right for the president to call us for clean up at this time?Would that not be fertile ground for spreading it? He can order the cleanup using experts in the same and provide them with protection. BTW,are we gathering for the prayers or kila mtu sombre kwake?

It's rather interesting that Trump and Republicans are looking very much like socialist now. Think about it - when this idea was floated by Andrew Yang it was rubbished and mocked... it goes to show that ideals are great in ideal situations - when shit hits the fan... we throw them out of the window.

I hear there is a press conference today? What time is it? The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

We can also say that humans have sets of ordered ideals that are chosen in 'Bayesian fashion'. In this case the socialist ideal has become salient due to prevailing conditions.

While others are serious in researching for cure and economical interventions , Uhuru is calling you all to prayers. Honestly. As if God isn’t updated on pandemic work to prosper

Given that:
1. An infected person can infect others for five days without anyone noticing
2. The reproductive rate maybe between 2 and 6
3.The lockdowns we have are not complete shutdown of all movement
4. Recovery takes around two weeks of self isolation
5. The demands for social distancing may be difficult to attain
6. Reinfection may be a more stable matter to handle
We are likely to end up with the widespread and intense infections that we may be avoiding.
Why don't we consider then, infecting screened volunteers deliberately and in sequence so that we can develop a resistant group of workers and service providers at probably a rate faster than the viral growth and distribution?

The CBK and Patrick Njoroge forgot one thing. Mobile money is not something you pluck from Mpesa. You first need money. To get a moratorium on a loan, you first need a loan. I didn't see anywhere the CBK has helped the currently worried masses deal with the "hakuna pesa" problem. Those bank notes they are planning to keep in their vaults for a week may end up staying there for a year if he can't come up with FISCAL policies that help the masses. Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

First, there is no doubt that people can and will recover, the issue is about those who are vulnerable in the population and the healthcare system getting overwhelmed in dealing with a surge in providing care for the fatal cases. Secondly, an average house in US may have AC and self quarantine at home could work what about here in Kenya ? We might be lucky given a generally young demographic lakini, the effects on other parts of our population may be fatal.
