Corona virus issue has been a real eye opener to how government works in Kenya. Ati unless Kenyans protest Chinese flying in from Corona hit areas and court orders are issued gover can’t see the logic in banning flights from China. My question is, if the KQ guy did not expose the plane ferrying this Chinese, would Unye have given ultimatum to finish building the isolation ward in 7 days? Would he have formed a committee? Like who is fooling who here? Do we need a committee in the first place ama it’s just to appease Kenyans that as president nimeform committee? Without pressure from the public govt can do nothing. Even with pressure like Locust issue. Nothing. In fact what’s being done is just gimmicks to look like they’re doing something so as to shut Kenyans up and redirect their attention back to BBI. Corona outcry is stealing the show. This Chinese are still in the same estate in Athi River nobody has been moved to a kdf facility in any case these guys have been in contact with enough people that isolating them now is too little too late. How does this gover think. If you don’t have isolation facilities why allow Chinese to come doesn’t it make more sense to ask China for money to build isolation centers as a prerequisite for their people coming here, build the centers then people go there when they land. Self quarantine is impossible without government supervision. This is not a matter to joke with. It could wipe out millions in an ill equipped country. Anyway cha muhimu ni BBI. Nobody even cares about the terror alerts US is issuing to its citizens about Kenyan airspace and hotels in Nairobi being a target presently. Agenda 4 ilipotelea mitini. Sasa ni BBI and referendum plus 2022 succession. See our lives as Kenyans.
If you refuse to let chinese flights in how will imports from china get here?
Freight flights?
I get what you mean but Freight sio flight from China haina watu? Cosignments nyingi hazitoshei cargo plane ni vifurushi tu huingia na ndege tu za kawaida. Hata kuna maua nyingi kenya hutuma ng’ambo kwa ndege za kawaida inawekwa tu cargo bay. Na South Korea je? Tufunge? Iran? Tufunge? Italy? Tufunge? etc etc. Mimi naona korona iko Kenya tayari. Testing ndio hatufanyi. Community spread ndio inaendelea saa hii. Mtu ako incubation, supermarket huyo, matatu huyo, wedding huyo na huko anapatana na watu wametoka kisumu hao…matatu hao, kesho yake naivas kisumu hao…wanakutana na watu wametoka homabay…nao wanarudisha korona homabay kutoka nairobi in three days.
… and a whole minister was very happy saying that they have 11 beds in isolation at KNH incase of an outbreak. Kenya is like a headless chicken right now.
We have only 120 icu beds in Kenya, my fren. Infectivity rate ya hiyo contagion, admission rate yake…inabidi hospitali zijae na watu wawekwe kwa mahoteli zijae, na bado. No country is equipped for corona. Hata madaktari, mavazi ya kujikinga hawana. Hawana hata ujuzi wa kuyatumia kwa sasa. Hakuna mtu anafanyia screening…testing watu ambao hawana dalili dunia nzima. Wale wanaambukiza wenzao ni wale hawana dalili. Isolating someone akishakuwa mgonjwa na kufanya testing; by that time ameshafanya kazi yake kitambo. Ameambukiza watu wengi tayari during incubation period yake.
You wonder what taking the Chinese to KDF will do beside also expose kdf to the virus. I had heard that the flights were scheduled to be arriving on a weekly basis undercover. It’s only after being exposed ndio Sasa isolation has become a priority. I think Kenyans should really think b4 voting bcz some of the leaders we have have no concept of the magnitude of their decisions like lifting ban on flights from China. They don’t understand its lives of millions of Kenyans at stake. They are just taking it casually like everything else including locusts. They are not in touch with the implications of their actions or in actions.
Technically if just one person in the flight was sick. The air hostess.The next passengers, the person who checked them, the taxi driver, the house help, the shop keeper. Those are already more than 11 people. So 11 beds zitafanya nini incase of a contagion. If we lack capacity the logical thing is to avoid the risk completely.
Kagwe was pissed off at court orders to stop flights from China. Yaani he’s castigating judiciary for doing his job4him. Who should be issuing orders? Isn’t it him?
Makena si ni wewe ulipiga Kura mara mbili…
You are not addressing the real issue. We are more at danger of infected people who are not sick than we are from people who are sick. By the time you isolate a sick person… The reproduction number for corona (R0) is 1.4 to 6.49 i.e number of new cases an infected person can generate if introduced to a population not previously exposed to a contagion. The sick hostess is probably 1.4 to 6.49 cases too late (that is the R0 for corona virus). Lets hope for vaccine and then have massive vaccination campaign. Haya mengine ni piss in the wind.
I estimate the first asymptomatic person to enter Kenya who did not have symptoms came in around last week of January. He/she may have been spreading it to others and then the community spread started and is going on with people coming down with mild upper and lower respiratory symptoms, kafever hivi, kaheadache, taking some panadol, cetrizine, sweating it off and going about their bussines. By the time it lands on the first susceptible fella who comes down with severe resp failure, tutakuwa na very big resevoir in the population. Then hell will break loose.
Ma tanker ships hufanya nini? Bado ziko kazi
Hakimoto, I am not her spokeswoman coz as you know she is not short of a word or two but Georgina is not a Jubilant. She is Baba’s ardent supporter. Among a few talkers here that I respect for standing by their candidate of choice. The rest are busy quering our support for WSR instead of selling their candidate to us. I will never understand why ODmers work this way.
Ships have even bigger crews and longer stay at port! Ship are worse than planes at exporting contagions becase of transit time, docking/port time, loading/restocking etc; during which time cross infections within crew members and other personnel increases.
