I believe we can do well enough if we use jeans material. There's plenty of it to ensure every eligible Kenyan has at least 2 masks.
Please help in discovering other materials. If we run out of elastic we can convert shoe laces, use strings, or cut pieces of cloth. Shower cap will suffocate us😐We need to breath. Maybe material similar to the one making bio bags. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

The masks are not made from ordinary material. They have a special filter. A simple fabric mask will give zero protection.

It is my duty @mahegoat. At the moment I pray that all minds and hands work together, for we may fight SARS-CoV-2 for the next 3 years. We expect a vaccine in a year. But for Africa we may get it by the 2nd year. We'll then need a vaccination period of say 1 year. We should be able either to make one for ourselves or afford to buy it.

@Shak, we don't need that special material. Why? Consider what we have as an alternative: your elbow - clothed or unclothed.
Jeans can hold the cough just like the cloth on your elbow.
@Bigchick, the shower caps I have used are okay. One can breath well enough. But the idea is to improvise.

Curfew in full force. Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

The Matatu driver has to be home at 7 pm. This means he has to park the vehicle before 5 pm and find his way home otherwise he will be clobbered. The last vehicle should, therefore, leave the city terminus at 3.30 pM which means employees must be released before 2 pm. In summary, it is half-day work until further notice.

No wazuan seems to know how many beds are in Mbagathi. Why are the patients from the coast in Nairobi? Can Mbagathi isolation centre hold 100+? Mutahi has mentioned that MOH has not tested the arrivals in quarantine...keeping that in mind what is the capacity available? "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

Let’s observe the measures given by MOH seriously. Wash your hands thoroughly,keep social distance and self quarantine. This virus is lethal at the moment there is no space in Hospitals in Italy,patients are treated in corridors and along the streets. #weshallovercomethevirus https://t.co/SklcHI5OlM"Blowing out someone else candle won't make yours shine brighter"-Anonymous

The entire tangatanga crew has been very vocal against police brutality. For a moment, I felt closer to them ideologically until it emerged they had just found new ammunition in their beef with Matiangi. For this wazuan, he was among the despicable human beings who were excusing baby pendo's murder with very weird arguments.

This is thread is all about an epidemic that's causing a lot of suffering to people around the world. I appreciate your humour @kaka2 and yes I am now for twanga twanga.I think for us kenyans discipline is not inborn but it's instilled by our elders or people with authority. When I heard MOH today I could tell the government is trying hard to avoid a total lockdown which could be more devastating than the virus itself........... But look, you have awakened a retard who always has to twist things to take a political direction. For as long as this thread has existed he has not voiced a concern or a helpful observations utill someone mentions tanga tanga. Then the spirits are awoken. we are taken all the way back to the last elections and the events that took place then. and you wander why we have witch doctors advertising their business all over town. We now have proof of their victims. 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...

@Tycho, tomorrow is Sunday. What is your take regarding Religion in Kenia and the use of the palpit to fight or spread the contagion? Have a look at this please before you give us your view Quote:Africa is woefully ill-equipped to cope with covid-19
People cannot stay away from work if they have no money.
The Economist: Middle East and Africa
Mar 26th 2020 edition
Yada yada yada.
Some Ethiopians see their country as blessed and therefore protected.
More than a quarter of Nigerians say they are immune, most commonly because they are “a child of God”.
Religion may be doing more to spread the disease than stop it.
Senegal was slow to stop pilgrims from travelling to the holy city of Touba, despite an outbreak.
A Christian gathering in South Africa has been linked to another outbreak.
Thousands still attend megachurches in Nigeria.
Although many pastors and imams are spreading the gospel of handwashing, others are talking nonsense.
Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia have promoted quack “cures” involving garlic, lemon and ginger.
Prices of these foodstuffs have risen by more than 200%, and fights have broken out in markets over them.
Many African leaders have been swift to ban religious meetings.
Some churches are streaming services online.
But this is not the case in Tanzania, where President John Magufuli has refused to close churches, saying:
“That’s where there is true healing. Corona is the devil and it cannot survive in the body of Jesus.”
African governments face practical as well as spiritual obstacles Source Link: https://www.economist.co...ed-to-cope-with-covid-19
