Africa Is Two to Three Weeks Away From Height of Virus Storm!

Africa Is Two to Three Weeks Away From Height of Virus Storm!

Huko kwenye good health system wanakufa kama kuku wenye kideri
Njia za kujikinga zinajulikana lakini maambukizi mapya yanaongezeka kila siku
 
Africa is two to three weeks away from the worst of the coronavirus storm and needs an emergency economic stimulus of $100 billion to bolster preventative measures and support its fragile healthcare systems, according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.

Almost half of the funds could come from waiving interest payments to multilateral institutions. That would give countries the fiscal space needed to impose social-distancing measures, widen social safety nets and equip hospitals to treat the sick ahead of an expected surge in infections, UNECA Executive Secretary Vera Songwe said by phone from Washington.

“If we want to have a fighting chance, we need it immediately,” she said. “In the next two to three weeks, if we act really decisively, we may be able to flatten the curve and then when the storm comes it will be not be as brutal as we see in Europe.”

One measure that can provide some immediate relief is the creation of the special purpose vehicle requested by African finance ministers through which interest payments on sovereign bonds could be sequestered and provide all countries on the continent, regardless of income level, with support, she said.

Stressed Systems
A lack of resources and staff means authorities must work fast to limit the spread of the disease on a continent where hospitals have an average of just 1.8 beds per 1,000 people, UNECA data show. While Africa accounts for 1% of global health expenditure, it carries 23% of the disease burden, including hundreds of thousands of deaths each year from malaria, HIV/Aids and tuberculosis.

“Our hospital systems are so weak and so stressed already that another stress on them is going to break them,” Songwe said.

There are more than 4,000 Covid-19 infections in 46 countries across the continent, according to the Addis Ababa-based Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

The continent has never experienced a crisis of the scale and magnitude caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Songwe said. While its impact is likely to be felt for 12 to 18 months -- with a loss of lives, jobs and businesses as economies grind to a halt -- the potential loss of health care providers and schooling would also weigh on the continent’s health and education sectors for years to come, she said.

A coordinated global effort is required to assist countries and businesses, and support the recovery of economies across the world, she said.

“If there is one African country or one country anywhere in the world that still has the coronavirus, the whole world has it. We’ve seen the speed of contamination and how quickly it can re-spread,” Songwe said.
 
Hivi africa tunamini kwamba tunaweza kuzuia huu ugonjwa tusipukutike kama hao wenzetu wenye uwezo na uelewa kuliko sisi?
 
Acheni kutishana bana, huu ugonjwa utaondoka km ulivyokuja. Pigeni kazi vijana
 
Hahaha hata NZIGE walitutishia hivyo hivyo, NZIGE wakaogopa wenyewe.

Bahati pekee tunayoweza kuitegemea kutuvusha ni usugu wa miili yetu.

Bila shaka jamii yetu ni tofauti sana na ile ya Italia.

Najua hii ni 'steriotype', lakini hakuna la zaidi linaloweza kueleza jinsi nchi zetu hizi zitakavyoweza kuhimili wimbi hilo la Coronavirus.

Ahsante Mungu kwa ulinzi wako kwetu.

Na hapo tutakapokuwa tumevuka, hata kama tutapoteza maisha kwa kiasi fulani, kilicho chini ya hao wenzetu, hapo ndipo utakaposikia majigambo ya viongozi wetu, jinsi walivyobarikiwa hekima ya kujua kuwa corona si chochote wala lolote!

Italia ina watu kiasi gani, karibia sawa na yetu? Kwenye 60 milioni hivi?

Wamekufa wangapi hadi sasa huko?

Hapa kwetu hata wakifa hatutawahesabu, kwa hiyo tarakimu zetu bado zitaendelea kuwa nzuri na kutupa heshima kubwa!

Wacha utabiri wa kijinga wewe, huo ugonjwa una sababu ya kusubiri hizo wiki mbili unazosema? hujiulizi kwanini umechelewa afrika licha ya kua na sababu ya kuanza na sisi?

Hatuna dawa yeyote ila huu ugonjwa hautakua na maajabu afrika.
 
Tuwe makini pamoja na kumwomba Mungu. Jijali nà kujilinda wewe na familia yako. Epuka msongomano usio lazima. Kinga ni wewe

Nadhani jambo la msingi zaidi ni wananchi kuchukua tahadhari zinazotolewa na Wizara ya Afya. . . .wote tukizingatia tunaweza kupambana na huu ugonjwa. "Together we can, divided we fall"

Huyu ni mdudu gani anayeua watu hivi?

Je, hii haiwezi kuwa ni adhabu Mungu kaichilia kutufundisha kitu fulani kweli??

Health sector ya nchi za kia - Afrika iko duni na hovyo sana....

Wengi wa viongozi wa nchi zetu za ki - Afrika ikiwemo Tanzania wana mizaha sana wakidhani wao wanaishi sayari nyingine, siyo hii ya dunia na kwamba tuna ukuta mrefu sana kuzuia maambukizi.....

Mfano wa hapa Tanzania, adui anabisha hodi mlangoni, lakini Rais wetu badala awe ofisini akiongoza kufikiri na kupanga mikakati ya mapambano, jamaa (Magufuli) ni kama hana habari vile badala yake anaenda PICNIC na kupiga SELFIE na kuzirusha picha hizo mtandaoni.....!!

Daaah, utoto kabisa huo.....

Janga hili likiingia, litavuna maisha ya watu mamilioni. Greda/Bulldozers ndizo zitakuwa zinazika watu, maana kutakuwa hakuna msiba wala matanga....

For sure kabisa, hii inatisha sana. Hata sina hakika tukianza kufa hivi kama tutazikwa tukiwa kwenye majeneza (mbao) maana mafundi majeneza nao si ajabu waweza kuwa ni wafu nao...!!

Mungu tumekosa, tumekutenda dhambi. Tunatubu. Tunakusihi kwa Rehema na Neema ya Yesu Kristo utuepushe na janga hili. Wewe ni Mungu wetu, Baba yetu mwenye nguvu na uweza wote. Tunakuabudu na kukutukuza wewe tu. AMINA...!

Wakuu punguzeni taharuki acheni uoga.... Kufa kupo tu.[emoji52]

am better here
 
Wazungu wanatamani sana Africa ifikie hali waliyoifikia wao kwenye Janga la corona lakini Mungu alivyowaajabu yupo nasi katika hali zote.

Alitupigania jana, anatupigania leo na atatupigania kesho.

Mungu siyo Athumani (soma Trump)

Cases nyingi za Virus Africa ni imported cases.

Trust me hiyo projection haitafikiwa kamwe.

Might be western propaganda, but also looking at it in perspective, there might be worse still to come, cause we are not serious in dealing with this as it suppose to be.

We are all pretending to be safe only because of our immunity, and that God love us.
