No deaths were reported at the time given that corona mortality rate is high at certain age group someone would have noticed

This is a temporary suspension not a total ban.The idea being to reduce the mass humanity that gathers at second hand places to buy.Social distancing that is.

some private hospitals have test capability. makes sense for them to treat their own patients as along as they have isolation units. also it is inevitable for private hospitals to have covid-19 patients as thier icu units would be needed if cases get serious - there is no way they are removing their icu units to mbangathi.

God help us.The storehouses are running empty and the end is not showing. Pesa itatoka wapi ya kununua food with everything at standstill. Middle-class are you feeling it ama fridge zimejaa.

Some food relief is necessary especially in city slums .a 2kg bag of maize flour for the city's 2.4 million living in slum can take them through 2 weeks period considering some are kids .hoping this is not a ground for unga scandal

Curfew means that even private cars are not allowed on the roads from 7pm - 5am. They will be towed to the police station for defying the curfew and driver charged.

Let's just have a lockdown.

I was opposed to it but at our current state we have a semi-lockdown which is a full lockdown on many especially market traders.(See Kiambu, Eldoret, Msa, Nkr)

If we continue with the current semi lockdown affecting market traders etc but leaving others then later have a full lockdown, such people will suffer twice.

Let's go for full lockdown and ALL stay @home for 3 weeks in which existing cases will have manifested themselves. I read that 148 are under quarantine in Siaya

Si hawa ni wale wa Father?

Be encouraged,they are under quarantine because the came into contact with father.We are almost past 14 days since father was there.No major outbreak reported.We shall be fine.

BTW I know someone who interacted with Father in Utawala,he has been tested and is ok and is past the 14days since his interaction with father.He is on quarantine at the moment after the father story broke out.

We shall overcome

I have tried. I have really tried to hold myself down.

But I cannot.

Please @Lolest, tell me you are Kenyan and have lived in Kenya all your life.

Please do @Lolest because the seething anger arising from your post is driving me loco.

Lockdown for EVERYONE at home?

Does that include The United People's Republic of Kibera, and Mukuru Kwa Njenga?

Does it include the entire Northern Frontier District where the "terrorists" reign supreme and non-Muslim teachers are persona non granta?

Does it include "Pwani Si Kenia"?

Who enforces this Lockdown? Kenyan Men in Uniform?

Do you know what roaming men in Uniform mean for our daughters, girlfriends, wives, sponsees, et al?

Do you know or recognize the power wielded by the hotheaded youthful Boda Boda riders in our society and what would happen when they are confined in a homestead for more than one day?

Have you ever heard of the corruption contagion that pervades every aspect of our society and what it would do to the logistics involved?

Have you seen/heard of the altercation that occurred at the ferry crossing yesterday?

Please enlighten me (us) what you infer when you visualize "Lockdown" for ALL because this seething anger has invoked memories of my hate for Nyaoisim and I do not want to walk that road ever again.

Please.

We need to push for extensive and widespread testing and isolation of positive cases a la South Korea combined with social distancing and enhanced hygiene measures. It's simply impractical and a recipe for chaos to lock down the entire population. We also need to urgently equip our hospitals and medics in preparation for a massive outbreak.

Good ideas but where is the equipment and where are the medics? Since we do not manufacture,we can only import.Who will sell to us right now.

Nitwathira.
