Quote:The coronavirus could linger in the testicles, making men prone to longer, more severe cases of the illness, a new study has shown.
According to the study, scientists tracked the recovery of 68 patients, to study the gender disparity of the virus, which have caused severe illness in men, according to a preliminary report posted on the MedRix website.
Dr Aditi Shastri, an oncologist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, and Dr Jayanthi Shastri, a microbiologist at the Kasturba Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Mumbai, claims Covid-19 can attach itself to a specific protein that is produced in high levels in the testicles.
In addition to the large amounts in the testicles, the protein, angiotensin, is also found in the lungs.
According to the study, the testicles are blocked off from the body’s immune system, which allows the virus to remain in the testicles longer than the rest of the body. Both Dr Jyanthi and Dr Aditi have said the recent findings may explain why women recover more quickly than men.
“These observations demonstrate that male subjects have delayed viral clearance,” the preliminary report said, adding that the testicles may be serving as “reservoirs” for the virus.
The study offers some insight into reports from New York, South Korea, and Italy that men are dying at a higher rate due to the virus. While the virus remains in the testicles, do they nibble and destroy the cells in the while, hence achieving sterilization objective?

The bill reducing PAYE and Income Tax due to covid is to be discussed today in parliament. In there they sneaked a lot of amendments mostly to the VAT act that are very punitive to the economy. unfortunately our Mpigs will not notice this - Government of thieves The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Please dont gag us.Allow us to discuss anything and everything. There is a reason why we have an interest in Trump and how things are unfolding on his end. On this Homabay guy story, let him complete his 14 days and go home. This is not a time to take chances.We have been told no movement out of Nairobi.....let it be that way. What is special about Nairobi coffins?Why not get one in Homabay? We have been told symptoms begin to show from day 5,why is he so happy about his 3 days and not feeling sick or showing symptoms? Doing that video for social media will do him more harm than good. 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.

Covid-19 gave him a second chance after losing 7 years. On covid tax measures, he only saw an opportunity to screw us even more.

so the driver in video number three says he is covid-19 negative because he is not showing symptoms and thus not being treated? is it like there are people who have not yet heard of asymptomatic cases or this is just a case of idiocy?

Frankly, I never bother listening to anything "our" Government says, but these days, when She comes on air, I sit up and take notice.

Trump has shown you that he doesn't care what you think or do so long as you are outside the US. It's about time you stopped caring too and focus on your home grown solutions with other like minded people or countries. On the homabay issue.The driver is not against being in isolation.(he is not in the media so forgive his communication skills) He thinks he should be there based on clear facts. The man his family and even the people he took to homabay are even challenging the CS. Was the CS misled? Does it mean we stop going to funearals or other emergencies? Imagine someone whom you don't get along (I am avoiding the word enemy) mentions you as a recent close contact. How will you defend yourself as you are bungled to an isolation centre. They will even label you a hostile victim. As you think about your defence just know not everyone is as lucky as you. The media even stopped following up on the siaya issue. Why? 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...

WEDNESDAY APRIL 22 2020
Compliance with measures put in place by the Health ministry to curb the spread of the coronavirus is still low in the Mt Kenya region, spot checks by the Nation reveal.
As the numbers of reported cases in the country approaches 300, it is business as usual for businesspeople and residents.
Breaching social-distancing, sanitisation and handwashing regulations is pronounced at markets, matatu terminals, shops and supermarkets.
When the Nation team visited Kirinyaga County, for instance, it was business usual at the Ngurubani and Kimbimbi markets.
NO FACE MASKS
Here, we found traders and their customers without face masks crowding and mingling freely.
Some told the Nation they believe the disease is concentrated in Nairobi and Coast counties and there is no need to worry.
“There is no such a disease in this area and there is no good reason we should not interact freely and shake hands with one another in markets,” said resident Mary Wanjiku.
“Even masks are not necessary as the disease has not been confirmed in our region.”
Mr Patrick Waweru, a boda-boda operator, admitted that people are ignorant and careless and expressed fears they may be caught off guard.
“People, including my colleagues, don’t care.
They think the disease does not exist while the matter is of grave concern,” he said. Source Link: https://www.nation.co.ke...30856-n64o68z/index.html

On the homabay issue.
The driver is not against being in isolation.
(he is not in the media so forgive his communication skills)
He thinks he should be there based on clear facts.
The man his family and even the people he took to homabay are even challenging the CS.
Was the CS misled?

Imagine someone whom you don't get along (I am avoiding the word enemy) mentions you as a recent close contact.
How will you defend yourself as you are bungled to an isolation centre.
They will even label you a hostile victim.
As you think about your defence just know not everyone is as lucky as you.
The media even stopped following up on the siaya issue. Why? I hate the fact that The Virtual Republic of Wazua does not have the "Like" or "Love" Button. I hate it indeed.

What's with people? so is the vaccine the vehicle for sterilization or the virus itself? So are you now the virus has an agenda to sterilize deplorables like Boris Johnson and Prince Charles?

Excellent article, in my humble opinion. Perhaps these are the type of articles we should be giving prominence. Quote:LEARNING FROM THE WEST
Virus: What are Kenyans doing wrong?
Students in Germany speak.
Wearing the same mask repeatedly, queuing without social distancing and police arresting people and squeezing them into one place among the misdeeds flagged.
In Summary:
• The percentage of fatal cases in Germany has been much lower than in its neighbours
• Kenyan trio studying there credit precautions taken and flag indiscretions back home that leave lives at risk Source Link: https://www.the-star.co....udents-in-germany-speak/

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-the-notorious-nine-these-world-leaders-responded-to-the-coronavirus/very interesting especially for a big country like brazil, i have never heard some countries though, Turkmenistan? There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

It’s not as fatal as it seems or is thought of,” "He said fear is a factor that should be avoided when one hears about the virus because it can make someone be depressed, and with depression, the health deteriorates, lowering chances of survival." 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...

The US has recorded the highest death rate - 2,400 dead in 24hrs. Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

Why would the GAVA say uko nayo na you are negative infact this jamaa should count himself "lucky" from the look of things yuko sawa kuna wale after diagnosis ni downhill from that point Again the hospital facilities are not overstretched hopefully kenya will not reach that point ingekuwa majuu huyo jamaa hata kitanda ingekuwa shida kupata in some areas
