The disease was brought into that state 6 weeks ago - no measures, a president with a mindset that hii ni homa. The disease is taking whoever it can - leaving whomever it is leaving behind. Herd immunity requires 60%+ to be acquired for this type of disease. 60% of a population of 50,000,000 people is 30,000,000. So the drum will stop beating when we get to 30,000,000 infections. The Kenyan mortality rate from the group that we have caught is 4.4%. If the same rate was to apply uniformly it is expected that we shall have 1.3M deaths. If the rate is half of that - 700,000 deaths. 1% deaths is 300,000. That’s the sacrifice you need to make to appease the gods that confer herd immunity
Dear brother. I hope you dont find it offensive when I scoff at this things you are telling us here. I will even doubt your level of reasoning.
Tuskizane. You cannot base your calculations on the "Kenyan GOV" confirmed cases. You can only do such a calculation when the infection has been wiped out , a cure has been found , a working vaccine has been discovered. or in a more practical way if Kenyan testing capabilities could rival the U.S capabilities.
If Kenya had the capability of making mass tests like in the U.S. 100000 tests in a single day. My simple estimate tells me that Nairobi and mombasa alone would account to more than 2000 positive cases daily.
Simple reasoning tells me that an area like isilii the ratio of the infected and uninfected persons is 1:50 . This is based on the small number of people tested and the final outcome.
This means by now the number of the infected could be about 80k.
Now do your culculations based on 80k infected and 20 deaths.
In my simple estimate is that the death rate here is 0.0000025%.
If you relate that with your 30million infections we only get about 7500 deaths to achieve herd immunity.
This means nduthi accidents here are also a pandemic.
Nani atapinga hio. And give your reasons
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...
