Funny I was part of the 80,000 Households surveyed weekly. I was lucky that I wasn't impacted negatively by COVID 19

Same story in Kenya, though Mwafrika will always posture of doing well.

The number of Kenyans in deep financial problems as a result of the Covid-19 restrictions has risen significantly, a new poll suggests.

At least 41 per cent, up from 28 per cent in April, now see the pandemic as a financial rather than a health problem, according to a poll released by Infotrak on Sunday.

My prediction is 20-30% middle-middle class households will never recover. Even going back to rural villages for this group is not a sure recovery bet.

Kilimani and Kileleshwa group will be hit by end of year- I saw Ernst Young firing managers and this is a firm doing well but their projection can tell them their clients are going under!!!

Poverty stricken households will continue slogging through as usual praising jesus for seeing them through another day.

The economic face has just begun to bite; next is the social faces of homicides and then political meltdowns. Without any sensible leadership world over, this is going to total chaos and disorder.
