Just came across this piece of news, Kemri has decided that they will no longer be handling the collection of samples to test for covid 19. This has now been basically outsourced to private entities like hospitals, who after collecting the said samples, hand them over to Kemri who will only then pass back the results.
I think this now opens the flood gates for private hosE’s to charge exorbitant fees for covid testing. Now Jameson wanjohi has been receiving aid money meant to boost covid19 handling from all over the world, hio pesa imeisha ama vipi.
Could it be that Wanjohi ameamua kama Magufuli, in that mass testing is no longer a priority ama? Coz what percentage of the populace will be able/ willing to dish out a minimum of 1k to get tested for a virus which majority think is a hoax.
Madoktari akina @rexxsimba and @Purple kindly enlighten us on what this development portends. Tununue limau tuchemshe, tununue HCQ na Azythromycin tujiwekee kwa nyumba au vipi. Gok may just be throwing us plebs under the bus to fend for ourselves.
