Flu like symptoms for more than a week that don't seem to improve. It's like mild form of Malaria that doesn't get worse or better.
Just any steam...sijui hiyo karvol iko kwinyaSteam is fine 'any' steam. Heck I was even inhaling my 'strungi'. Here is something that has been trending on WhatsApp and I believe it is on point:
PLEASE SEND THIS MSG TWICE TO ANY GROUP. ONCE TODAY AND ONCE TOMORROW.
*Important Message for all*
The hot water you
drink is good for your throat.
But this corona
virus is hidden behind the
paranasal sinus of your nose for 3 to 4 days.
The hot water we
drink does not reach there.
After 4 to 5 days
this virus that
was hidden behind the
paranasal sinus reaches your lungs.
Then you have trouble breathing.
That's why it is very important to take steam,
which reaches the
back of your paranasal sinus.
You have to kill this
virus in the nose with steam.
At 50°C, this virus becomes disabled i.e. paralyzed.
At 60°C this virus
becomes so weak that any
human immunity
system can fight against it.
At 70°C this virus dies completely.
This is what steam does.
The entire public
health department knows this.
But everyone wants to take
advantage of this pandemic.
So they don't share this information openly.
One who stays at home should take steam once a day.
If you go to the market to buy
vegetables,
take it twice a day.
Anyone who meets
some people or goes to office
should take steam 3 times a day.
*Steam week*
According to doctors,
Covid -19 can be killed by
inhaling steam from the nose and mouth,
eliminating the Coronavirus.
If all the people
started a steam drive campaign for a week,
the pandemic will soon end.
So here is a suggestion:
* Start the process for a week from
morning and evening, for
just 5 minutes
each time,
to inhale steam.
If we all adopt this practice for a week the deadly
Covid-19 will be erased.
This practice has no side effects either.
So please send this message to all your relatives,
friends and neighbours,
so that we all can kill this
corona virus together and live and walk freely
in this beautiful world.
*Thank you*
Mammogram okay but pneumonia present given antibiotics
Waiting for chest test after giving out blood samples..pneumoniaYou should have been tested for covid myself have been tested twice in the last 1 month after interacting with infected people but I thank God am okay.
Mammogram okay but pneumonia present given antibiotics
concoctions will not work, they did not work for magufuli. The concoction you take via the mouth do not reach the nasal cavity. The virus hides behind the paranasal sinus before reaching the lungs. So inhaling steam is what got me through my two weeks+ flu like symptoms. That is what you must do to disable the virus before it buries itself in the lungs. Inhale steam and this flu medicine called Karvol which is also inhaled.
If you are running around driving to places, sharing cars, aren't you spreading it?
Since youve had it for seven days, chances are it will do no further harm. You can take antivirals or antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for pain
STAY HOME drink lotsa lemon juice
Alas symptoms tend to be symptoms shared by many other things. Yes, even during covid, something else can cause these symptoms. I would probably start with a test and go from there.
That is the right way of doing it before spreading it all around. Not all who catch it from you will be able to cope with it the same way as you.Alas symptoms tend to be symptoms shared by many other things.

My fever now graduated to the shaking one

Rv be careful especially with those tests in Kenya. I got tested last Monday for my flight back to Boston for Thursday and got a negative result only to test positive when I arrived here on Friday. So far am managing it but the headache is killing me. Get an oximeter and check your oxygen concentration often. Anything below 92% check yourself into the emergency room. Wish you well sir.

Oh my God, pole sana my dearest RVP :o
From what you've said it doesn't sound like Covid but pneumonia caused by cold. Pneumonia for the common cold comes gradually and takes weeks to months to recover. I recommend Tamiflu.
If it was Covid at the pneumonia stage and rarely does it get to this stage unlike the common cold, you would be in hospital on ventilators because it deteriorates rapidly however you don't fit the profile of Covid at pneumonia stage, tends to be very elderley and those with preexisting conditions.
Anyway, please eat lots, my prayers are with you even though I'm certain you're ok, please take care. x

Yes Oxygen is good but you need to take care of the inflammation. You have what we call an inflammation storm and your lungs are barely functioning at capacity. Slowing the storm will give lungs a chance to heal
Now at hospital.my oxygen at 89 and high blood pressure. Look bad
Taken blood test..now waiting for chest...having international insurance in Kenya is scam..I have to write emails n calls..and all I get is everything is sorted..only to be told we have never heard of such insurance ..the long explanation of my insurance, the third parties and the works
RVP, I know it must be terrifying but it's gonna be ok.thank veri
Ask for tamiflu - it does wonders for pneumonia.
Try breathing slow long breaths which should improve oxygen levels. It's normal to dip below 90 with pneumonia.
Just don't google about Covid & oxygen levels below 90 because that's actually rubbish.
Ensure there's a humidifer in the room or just breathe in some steam once an hour to help with breathing.
Most of all you just need to relax and let your lungs recover. Don't think about the pneumonia, long deep breathes, eat even if you're not hungry- brasil nuts in partcular. Anything with selenium can help repair damaged tissue quicker.
Relax, sleep, eat, think of this as a forced holiday.

Thats the problem of covid testing in Kenya. I was tested by lancet and after 4 days no feedback I had to literally call them severaly to give me the results. It appears they had mixed up my results and sent to a different email. Thats how chaotic Covid testing is in Kenya. Imagine if I was positive? But its really responsible once you are tested to isolate till results come out.
Its how many days since the test ? By day 5 you should test again .Possibility you will be negative.they tested on Saturday or Sunday now confusedCOVID results came positive so in isolation ward treated like pariah with nurses on full ppe kit.My laptop not allowed.
Sorry Pundit! This virus is having a crazy learning and mutation curve.
As broke beggars with autopilot leadership bent on stealing and protecting the loot, we can only hope that once mzungu fully immunises will treat us with kid gloves and extend charity to enable mass vaccination in next 15 months.
?s=20Good Morning Mr. President? Why did Kenya borrow Ksh 214Billion to fight Covid-19 yet only 7billion was sent to 47 County Governments in total?

Some oligarchs have hoarded money over the last decade and at same time indebted Kenyans massively...yes very likely gov has to sell its stakes and assets to finance the budget coz leveraging has hit the limits
This makes it highly likely that government assets like ports, kq, kplc, safcom will be sold as recovery measure
The oligarchs then use their financial position to acquire more gov assets Russia style
Discharged.Man being treated like a leper.Not easy.But glad I am feeling okay except for wierd mid head pressure..hope too much lying on these beds.I really need to wake up and change my life from now on.

While this thread has been sad and worrying because it relates to RV Pundit's health, it has nevertheless brought up good discussion about international insurance. I think it would be really helpful, for those of us who are overseas and have never used this type of insurance in Kenya, to learn more.
1) Do you apply for it in America or whatever country you are in when you're about to travel to Kenya? Or is it part of the insurance you already have?
2) How much has it cost you in the past?
3) Any insurance companies you can recommend?
These questions are directed at anyone who wants to educate us. Alternatively, we can start a separate thread, if this is better for RV Pundit's purposes.

Travel insurance with a medical option. You should get travel insurance even for people visiting you from Kenya. There are all sorts of options on travel insurance. Also, you can find out if your US insurance can cover you when abroad. I think in a pandemic situation you want an option where you can be evacuated if no beds are available.

Very courageous! All the best. Too bad this had to be the moment of truth.
The message on weight, BMI, and consequent lifestyle diseases remains a hot political potato which has been overtaken by vaccine option. This must be because most politicians, technocrats and all influencers are averagely overweight.
The profile of majority succumbing is largely similar - overweight. It must be scary. I gained a few kilos during lockdown and it was crazy losing them even for a 6 taller.Discharged.Man being treated like a leper.Not easy.But glad I am feeling okay except for wierd mid head pressure..hope too much lying on these beds.

Yes that to me is key take away - stay healthy - I was healthiest I bet in that ward - everyone had issues with diabetes - high blood pressure - I don't know what - and I was also youngest. I think the biggest struggle for me is going to be alcohol - I love my alcohol. I will give up sugar. I will try to exercise.Very courageous! All the best. Too bad this had to be the moment of truth.

Does travel insurance cover the expenses of flying a body to Kenya for a relative if, God forbid, the person died while visiting you?

Mind to share the kind of treatment received...might help someone who cannot afford high medical bill. Update on medical bill to....help to know what Kenyans are up against.
The medical bill was "cheap"..about 2K dollars so didn't need insurance (will claim)...and they gave me antibiotics, multivitamins and pretty much what they were doing is regularly monitoring of my vitals.Mind to share the kind of treatment received...might help someone who cannot afford high medical bill.

Health is seriously underrated. At a certain age(differs from person to person), it becomes important to actually monitor what you are putting in your body, because you are no longer able to count on the metabolism of youth. Food can kill - even worse than alcohol, because it happens right under our noses totally oblivious.

This right there is the best advice. After 35 your should calibrate your eating habits to fit the slowing metabolism. I used to do junk foods every day in my 20s. Now I can't have to be extremely careful on what I eat. It is a battle but it can be won by changing lifestyle.
