@WuodMinPiny @Lasterbosire And before we forget, Kenya is a sovereign DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. Neither the will of the PEOPLE on whom power is vested, nor the collective opinion of the PUBLIC is reflected in this decision. Politicising a pandemic is the paragon of stupidity.

History will not be kind to this.

@WuodMinPiny @Lasterbosire 4/: ...an inconvenience. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know about what the US plans to do with infected Kenyans (let me spell this out: fuck all), it's time to touch grass.

@WuodMinPiny @Lasterbosire 3/: the two kakiostocracies have now agreed to do this, knowing full well that the US administration has gutted the CDC, barred American participation at the WHO (literally gagging them), and annihilated capacity for global health emergencies and suddenly his own citizens are...

@shecyclesnbi @DrNeilStone @GasDruid Improperly handled material can become aerosolised and inhaled leading to infectious exposure, with a very low (highly contagious) infectious dose.

@ManyalaIzMe @Imonaar @Saxian007 The kaworkshop is nice, but if it did not translate to any meaningful development specialized expertise, a dedicated policy and structure for pandemic preparedness, and importantly, funding dedicated for procuring medicines, vaccines, PPE and infrastructure, this is just fanfare

🔊 Unsafe burials are a major driver of Ebola transmission. @rcoreyb tells the Reuters World News podcast, ‘they remain contagious after the patient has died, at the same time, communities really value the importance of traditional burials' https://t.co/4PbtA4MJJW

"Maternal Tdap vaccination helps protect infants from whooping cough during the first months of life, which is the period when babies are at highest risk of severe illness but are still too young to get vaccinated."

Analysis of past Ebola outbreaks suggests 54% death rate & identifies hemorrhage as key risk factor.

The current DRC outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo Ebola strain, which was not the causative lineage in the analysis. https://t.co/c9IvSR1fi2

E-citizen fees are up, museum fees are up, and park fees are already sending Mara tourists to Tanzania. The Treasury CS calls it a "tiered system," but it’s just a staircase with your wallet at the bottom.

While the FBI sets up shop to tackle our rising money-laundering index, Kenyans aren't waiting for permission to win. Mwende Mugambi is building AI to decode these very policies, and Felista Mugo just became our first female MMA fighter.

This country will tax you, ignore you, and produce world-beaters all in the same week!

Stress is linked to many of our biggest killers, but a growing body of research suggests that certain types can sharpen the mind and strengthen the body. Here’s how to find your perfect dose https://t.co/xAh0dzD1dZ

A traditional vaccine primes the immune system to build better defences. Researchers think we can do something similar to increase our resilience to the pressures and worries of life https://t.co/D7iFsIGjEr
