Omollo glad to see you back just in time. Your detractors sometimes wish you got mentioned in the daily weather forecast, if you get me. No, your prognosis is too bleak. Kenya is no Italy even if we all have vultures. The numbers are not indicative of the direction you're pointing. Otherwise we would have been the outsourced Wuhan province of CCP. Infection rates may be high but morbidity low. Assuming they are testing right. Those bodybags must be returned to China without being unpacked. RTS.

Finally, Magufuli has let the cat out of the bag. Fenesi, paipai, mbuzi na kadhalika. Testing positive at ordinal number n..... using Chinese equipment and reagents.

the ineptitude of many 3rd world governments can not allow them to engage in mass testing. they have plundered all resources which could have supported mass testing. by testing 500 samples per day, the government is doing serious pr stunts for itself while the actual numbers on the ground are simply dire. assuming we have a population of 50m, we are still to hit 50000 tests to make 0.1% tests on total population. 0.1% .

recently heard some well read people talking about how Kenya is flattening the curve. Which curve? Mediocrity.

This government statistics are wrongly interpreted by rural Kenya to mean that we have only 700 cases. The government should take these as representative figures and actually show people the real estimates on the ground. That way, people will be more cautious and refrain from assuming that the storm is over. The government should not fear since it did not create the virus; truth can help in fighting the virus.

Accoring KNSB 2019 Census, Kenya has population 1 million over the age of 65. So if we say that 10% of these have serious underlying conditions that will be 100K if we then say that 35K of these live in the urban setting and 5 counties with most cases then you have 35K people to worry about. Kenya can afford 35K deaths without even breaking a sweat. At 65 years you are either a burden to society or you are of no use just a consuming unproductive thing.

Conclusion: Wanjohi wa Vitenge open the economy mathafacker

n the latest extension of COVID19 stay at home order in Kenya I think GOK is over doing this. In Kenya the population that is over 65 years is 1 million. Majority of this population is at home most of the time or in rural areas after retiring from the urban areas. These demographic is the one that I would think will be more likely to have underlying conditions that can cause complications due COVID 19. So if we do just quick math about 20 percent of this population is in the 5 counties under cease of movement orders. If we just assume that 100K of this group has underlying conditions and that 20 percent would be infected in the worst case scenario and that 10 percent 20,00 would die.. Do we need to spend all the resources and efforts preventing 2,000 deaths? Do we even think that there would be 2,000 deaths at the current death rate of?
GOK owes Kenyans duty to tell them what is the worst case scenario if we do nothing and is the best case scenario if do all we can. I think the 40 days of curfew have definitely slowed Corona infections. We need to start to reopen the economy in the next 21 days. This disease will be with us for decades to come. A vaccine is 2 years out, so are we gonna be hiding in the house for 2 years and walking around hiding from each other.

Like most pandemics, it's rare to know exactly what's happening in real time. It may be years before we know for sure. I think better safe than sorry applies in this case. That should not prevent people from asking questions though.

as of 22nd may 2020, kenya has now tested 55,074 of its 50,000,000 people with 1,161 +cases. if this is a representative statistic to go by, then we can roughly calculate the probable number of people infected as 50,000,000/55,074 X 1161 = 1,054,036. mp kiarie was right.

This one is a bit bizarre case amidst the poor reporting. We still have a lot of learning even for those who have recovered, yet government seems clueless on follow up.

Long time here from .org to net. I see uhunye is still copy pasting USA behavior to fit kenyan situation. I would like to bet on when most USA airlines start flying internationally beginning july 1st you will hear uhunye claim he has consulted specialists and he is opening kenya airspace as well.

The virus is here to stay. I bet you since the restrictions have been lifted. The snow birds from Florida will fly back up north and cause another big out break that will peak in September and devastate US like nonsense. This disease is lethal. If you are 45 and over and you are Black stay the fuck away from people
