Started with 1 case,then 960 a day! My message - don’t worry about cases as they will continue to rise (it’s the curve!); worry about our capacity to save lives of those who get severe disease because of various risks - worry about your local health facility & local health worker

I disagree. 1. Negative COVID19 tests are as useful as the date the sample was taken. After that, they are JUNK! 2. With 300k teachers, the cost would be ~KShs 1B which would best be put into water & sanitation in schools & hiring extra teachers so high risk ones can stay home.

This is how you meet new friends like 26 year old Alex who rides a boda and rescued me from traffic because I never want to be late for a meeting. He dreams of going to college and studying Criminology and why not Alex?!

Is @AAR_Insurance an #antivaxxer or just looking to create fear and make profit? What commercial callousness is this? We are working to save lives and your insurer is working to make money by creating fear! Must be a first in the world @MOH_Kenya #AARantivaxxer

Africa is not just watching India; this is a window into what Africa may be waiting for & urgent POLICY action is needed to scale up OXYGEN & VACCINATION - COVID-19: The 'desperate situation' in India's hospitals amid surge in cases

COVID-19: The 'desperate situation' in India's hospitals amid surge in cases

India is battling a huge surge in COVID-19 cases, hospitals are on the brink - and there is a shortage of oxygen.

Strengthening PHC, training health workforce, health financing effectiveness, evidence based decision making & the role of regional institutions like @Amref_Worldwide in supporting governments are amongst the issues I discussed with @BillGates in Kenya @gatesfoundation

Spent time in Kibra, Nairobi today attending a vaccination outreach by @AmrefUniversity students & @MOH_Kenya 1. The challenge is not hesitancy - it’s lack of Access. 2. We don’t call a woman who delivers at home because of absence of skilled delivery ‘hesitant’

COVID19 alert 🚨 Personal experience from close friend whose mother died yesterday unvaccinated 😢 1. Overcome fear of vaccination because of fear of side effects - COVID is far much worse 2. Watch unusual fatigue/‘laziness’ - could indicate low oxygen from COVID infection

No need for masks 😷 on travel but wash hands with soap regularly, carry a 60%-plus alcohol hand sanitiser. A few wipes will help sanitise surfaces you will touch regularly, avoid handshakes. Don’t panic, be calm. #Coronavirus #COVID19 Let’s save the masks for health workers!

It’s taken me 3,266,600 steps, 2,292km to ‘walk into’ 2024 That’s an average of 8,840 steps a day (160 steps short of my target of 9,000 steps per day) - great, not perfect. 6.2km walked per day for 365 days This is the 3rd year in a row I have bet on CONSISTENCY rather than

Stay alert people; don’t drop your guard. Nationally 11% of all deaths happened on the last 14 days. Yes the same period contributes only 5% of out total confirmed cases. Tells you there is a missing piece in tracing and testing - Nakuru has had 27 deaths from only 1043 cases!
