Wakati ambapo Corona inaanza kushika kasi na kuwazidi nguvu wakenya, Kipindupindu kimerudi kwa nguvu na kuwaua Wakenya kama kawaida yake kufanya hivyo kila mwaka.
Ikumbukwe kwamba, Kenya imeshindwa kabisa kutokomeza njaa, Kipindupindu na sasa hivi kuna kila dalili kwamba Nzige na Corona wataungana nao kuwa ni wageni wa kudumu kama ilivyo kwa njaa na Kipindupindu.

Kenya's Ministry of Health said on Thursday 13 people have died due to cholera following heavy rains pounding several parts of the nation.
Mutahi Kagwe, Cabinet Secretary for Health said that medical personnel is working round the clock to control the reported 550 disease cases mostly appeared in northern Kenya.
"It is unfortunate that we have lost a total of 13 Kenyans from the disease, 12 of them in Marsabit and one in Turkana," Kagwe told journalists in Nairobi.
"Regrettably, most of the case, 40 percent, and sadly, 70 percent of the deaths too, have been among children aged 10 years and below," he added.
The official said other cases have been reported in Garissa in northeastern Kenya and gradually made its way to Wajir, Turkana and Muranga in central Kenya.
He said that 48 cases in Garissa, four in Wajir and eight in Muranga have been controlled following quick intervention by health personnel.
Kagwe announced that the government has enhanced intervention and that cases in Marsabit and Turkana in the northern region will be contained over the next two weeks.
"We believe that this is feasible, given the fact that the outbreak is currently localized to only two areas, which is Marsabit and Turkana," he added.
Cholera is a gastrointestinal disease, usually spread by contaminated water and food, and can cause severe diarrhea that, in extreme cases, can lead to fatal dehydration and kidney failure within hours. Enditem
