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.

Some oligarchs have hoarded money over the last decade and at same time indebted Kenyans massively...

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

Its time you became a believer again. Thats perhaps the reason you had to go through that experience.
Now that you have seen how it is on the other side of life , go and get it and in doing so try to use soft skills more oftenly.

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.

All the best.  Make sure to move around when you get home. This will help with blood circulation and minimize chances of blood clots.

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.

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

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.

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.

The restrictions are helping with my alcohol intake. No way I am going to spend my money with all that tension ati am seeking fun. I have never had alcohol in the house even in college so this has helped a lot. Once I take choma with beer, no more meals in the house.

For sugar, I prepare my coffee, black. Was very hard initially resisting the tea culture in the mornings- hangovers helped :D :D :D. Now everybody knows I don't take tea which cuts out the sugar shit except when I don't have energy to keep explaining to some family members. No harm for an occasional cup in a year.
