Though as a country we have had high profile deaths all is well in Africa.
I have contracted Covid so many times I have lost count. Something amazing also happened. My grandmother who is clocking 100 this year had the infection and healed.
I knew it's the thing because I called her when I heard she had a serious homa. She explained to me about all her symptoms. I told her that it's only a big homa and sent some antibiotics and a cough syrup for her.
The only thing that's unusual about our grandmother is that she prefers to walk to church every Sunday or anywhere she goes. I have always cautioned even my own mother on providing alternative transportation for her.
For lack of better words I can say that my grandmother lives with my aunts and cousins who are somehow reckless or ignorant.
First let me mention that it's my grandmothers house and a few aunts uncles and cousins live there because grandma is well taken care of and always monied. So my less fortunate relatives can always find a place to stay in my grandmothers compound.
This is the African way of how we take care of our elderly. This system has always worked but lately it become scary. There was also the part where you don't want to be so alarming that you trigger blood pressure and hypertension to your granny.
I finally settled on keeping my distance and hoped for the best. Now I can report that herd immunity works. We are not all lucky but it's the same way that some of us are alive today but a few hundred Kenyans died on traffic related accidents today.
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...
