Its their media. Their scientists decided to research the claims or replicate the study. Did any Kenyan research institution scientifically investigate the claim or replicate the study? No. None that I know of. Make and beat your own drums, cause no foreigner will do it for you. This need we have as Africans to be accepted by Westerners is infuriating. Do things and excel at them, and then there will be no need to demand respect from anyone, it will follow automatically. If Madagascar has faith in the artemisia plant, they should go ahead and use it to manage Covid. If they succeed, and I hope they do, this noise about what some media in the west did or said will become irrelevant. Look at Mpesa. Did we wait for approval and recognition from anyone? No. There was a problem and it was addressed brilliantly. Now Facebook and others are looking to replicate this elsewhere. This is the kind of approach we should take with all our initiatives. Stop whining. Do. Peace.  I always wonder why we seek for approval and acceptance... just DO! ikiwa mzuri... watu watachukuwa... if it's good! so do something good... test it appropriately... document it... if its good - people will use it.

What happened in Cameroon? It had the highest number of infections in Sub Saharan Africa then life went back to normal. Did the virus just evaporate? Truth forever on the scaffold

Cameroon Citizens Raised $40M for COVID Relief, But Where is It?
YAOUNDE - Cameroon has bowed to pressure from rights groups and ordered investigations into the management of the COVID-19 solidarity fund contributed to by civilians. The rights groups said most of the $40 million cash and material had been embezzled. An outcry was sparked after rights groups said 4,000 bags of rice donated to COVID-19 patients were illegally sold.
About two dozen people are this Monday morning at the Messassi government hospital in Cameroon’s capital Yaounde for consultations. Among them is 27-year- old Ernestine Sahmo who is visiting for her weekly diabetes control. Sahmo says she and other patients are surprised at the absence of COVID-19 prevention kits at the hospital.
"Most of the time you go there and there is no water. You just find a bucket being placed there without any water in it and at times too you don’t even meet soap," she said.

Female MP with HIV tests positive for COVID-19 https://www.k24tv.co.ke/...ive-for-covid-19-24363/
Quote:Zambian MP Princess Kasune Zulu, who is living with HIV and is a prominent AIDS activist, has announced that she has tested positive for Covid-19.
Ms Zulu, a member of the opposition United Party for National Development, was tested last Thursday.
Some 15 Zambian MPs have so far tested positive for Covid-19, according to health minister Chitalu Chilufya.
Parliamentary sittings have been indefinitely suspended.
Ms Zulu told the BBC that she was not surprised by the test results, partly because Zambia’s parliament had initially continued holding sittings despite the rise in coronavirus numbers.
“I guess one saw it coming given the laissez-faire attitude we have in Zambia towards the health guidelines, and seeing that at parliament we had continued meeting in person when we should have carried on business from our homes via virtual systems,” she said.
Ms Zulu bemoaned Zambia’s slow response to Covid-19.
Zambia has to date reported 4,481 coronavirus cases since March and 139 deaths.
Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

I told you. Everything is worringly so relaxed. Bars are full and taxis full to capacity. Why is the disease wreaking havoc in some areas and other areas? Kenya in particular appears highly susceptible. I think it's not the disease per se but rather the sensitivity of a society to diseases - In Sub Saharan Africa we are used to death from diseses (I once wrote about how 90%+ of the 400K+ annual deaths from Malaria are in subsaharan africa) and we don't care. I grew up in Nakuru and had lots of Malaria and so it became normalized... when you talk to a Mzungu... Traveled abroad and when you talk about Malaria the Mzungu told me it's a terrible disease to have! the one person who got it describes it in very vivid terms... but since we have been used to magonjwa, umaskini and ujinga (Poverty, Ignorance and Disease) we assume that it's normal to be sick... Most people don't even take days off when they are ill. we have normalized ignorance and rationalized poverty. That may explain Africa's response to this disease... we were hoping for a spectacular disease but it is a disease that largely has symptoms similar to what we have had before and especially those places where Malaria is rather serious like west africa. After all 95%+ of People seem to recover without problems... then it looks tame. People don't usually go to the doctor when they suffer mild/moderate symptoms. I only go to the doctor when things are thick... Mzungu will go at the earliest discomfort. I think within subsaharan africa Kenya seems to be taking this disease seriously and rightly so... it does not mean that we are dying more than these countries (Kenya and Cameroon have the approximately the same number of official cases but fewer deaths). People should not normalize getting sick. Look... Quote:Bondo OCPD dies after developing breathing problems Mkapa died after a short illness (Malaria and Heart Attack)... if you check the symptoms of the disease (Uliza @Mphobiz... there are aspects of it that are Malaria like)... but if you don't attribute it properly you may not recogize it.... itakuwa "homa tu".

New cases from outside may not be an issue any more since they will have to be negative to board the ACs. I think there is hope.
