@Alma no law stops one from posting that Dagorretti health centre has experienced an upsurge of patients seeking treatment not necessarily of COVID,No law stops you from sending a clip showing some guy who collapsed at the market not unnecessarily from COVID.No law stops my friends in Kawangware from informing us that a relative of theirs has died not necessarily from COVID.Tutajijazia wenyewe when such cases are reported.

For now cases are increasing because more tests are being done.And the cases are mild and they will heal.

The clips you have on TZ we shall assume they are from their Robert Alai so they are neither here no there.Kenyans have 35% trust on Social Media.

I wasn't talking about State House Kenya. I was talking about State House TZ.

Let's not mix issues.

You can't report Covid cases in TZ. Ask Citizen.

And I don't get my clips from Alai. You should know me better than that. I get them straight from source.

but you can continue believing the Babu of Loliondo if you wish.

Magufuli is a failure. So is Boris Johnson and Trump.

Please note these have the highest deaths in the world. It is not a story its a fact.

Fact 2:

Every country that lockdown early is going back to normal. As the rest of us are still debating about how special africans and how many cures are coming from Madagathika.

From Australia, China, New Zealand, Rwanda, Uganda etc. They are going back to normal.

Those are facts. Whether you believe them or not is not my problem. I have no locus standi on facts.

Magufuli is a failure and that's also a fact.

I always find it interesting when people self identify and come out as they really are.

There are two extremist views on this thread.
1.Corona is not an issue and we can go back to business
2.That Corona will have similar effect in Africa as in western countries

I dont believe any of the above.
We better error on the side of caution as we explore the reason for low fatalities in Africa.

Do you know most western countries don't do contact tracing? These are some of the reasons why we have low numbers - sniffing the problem out before it becomes a problem.

Brazil should be a warning for all Africans - it should show us what happens when Corona lands in a country that has millions of people living in such places

Places without water or sanitation. Our time is running out!

Maybe we should start comparing apples to apples.

Total Number of REPORTED cases in AFRICA: 45,044
Total Number of REPORTED cases in INDIA: 42,505
Total Number of REPORTED cases in CHINA: 82,877

Total Population in AFRICA: Approximately 1.33 Billion People
Total Population in INDIA: Approximately 1.37 Billion People
Total Population in INDIA: Approximately 1.43 Billion People

Why use official figures and we all know the figures are not representative to what's on the ground? Here are your close estimates based on living conditions and the scale of how this infection is contagious.
Africa 10 million
India 12 million
China 15 million

@masukuma should also read a book on slavery in brazil to learn how those people, mainly blacks (and mixtures of black x white) came to live in those cramped favelas of brazil, instead of blaming them for their poverty and "lack of water and sanitation". During the close to 400 years of slavery in brazil i.e 1501-1866, about 5 million blacks from west africa/angola/guinea were shipped to work in plantations in brazil. When slavery was abolished in brazil, many freed slaves left the plantations and moved to urban areas to get work or a place to live. Since they couldnt get housing in the white cities they settled in the outskirts and built informal settlements. At the time it was also illegal for blacks to own land.

Since the end of slavery in the 1860s, successive Portuguese and Brazilian governments have refused to spend resources to uplift the living conditions of the former slaves. The slaves were left destitute since they couldn't own land in rural or urban areas and they couldn't go back home to africa, and the only place they could live were the favelas. At least kenyans in kibera or mathare have rural homes they can run to so as to hide from corona but not so for those in brazil slums. So you should sympathize with your brothers in brazil. The white man is to blame.

@Mavegges am suprised it has taken this long to understand that comprehension is an issue here. I've seen you even blaming yourself "I may not be a good teacher..." but what is clear is people cannot put numbers in perspective.


March 20 Qatar had 470 cases. What does that mean? Clearly we may not have got to our peak and yet we have people acting and behaving stupid.
