Hatukawii kumuita BEBERU!Ambassador to Tanzania. I want to talk to you about COVID-19, and how we can work together to prevent its spread and help all of us stay safe.
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, almost two and a half million people have died of the disease. The loss is staggering, and no country has been untouched. In my own country, the United States of America, we have lost over 500,000 of our fellow citizens. To further complicate things, new variants of the virus have caused another more intense wave of infections across the world, including the African continent. It has become clear that the virus variant has arrived in Tanzania, also. I’ve been encouraged by recent statements from the Ministry of Health acknowledging COVID-19 as a public health priority in Tanzania and urging citizens to take basic precautions: such as avoiding crowds, wearing masks, and social distancing. This is good advice and I urge everyone to follow it.
In addition to implementing basic precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there are at least two other important tools that are critical to controlling this pandemic.
First, in order to know if response measures are having the intended impact, it is critical to collect and report information about testing and cases. That’s why it is so important for all governments to share accurate and timely information about the number of cases in their countries to the World Health Organization. Sharing this information reassures citizens that their governments are fighting to protect their health and their livelihoods. Furthermore, such reporting allows researchers and scientists to better track the disease and prevent unnecessary deaths – both nationally and regionally.
The second tool is vaccines. As our new Secretary of State Tony Blinken stated, “Until everyone in the world is vaccinated, then no-one is really fully safe.” Vaccines have helped eradicate some of the worst diseases on earth, and there is no doubt that a mass immunization campaign will save lives. Just look at the numbers in the US; in the past couple of weeks, as millions of vaccinations have been given, the numbers of new Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have started to fall. I urge the Government of Tanzania to convene its health experts and review the evidence on vaccines.
As the world’s largest health and humanitarian donor, the United States continues to lead the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing more than $1.5 billion to COVID-19 mitigation efforts worldwide and pledging $4 billion to speed global distribution of vaccines. Here in Tanzania, we dedicated $16.4 million to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic since the first confirmed case was diagnosed in March of 2020. The United States stands ready to ramp up our efforts and we are committed to working side by side with Tanzania to defeat Covid-19.
I will close this message on a personal note. I am a doctor by profession. Before being named Ambassador to Tanzania, I spent over 30 years working in the public health sector. I can promise you that the public health measures I’ve been speaking about WORK. They will save lives if they are adopted. I urge all Tanzanians to join now in supporting these measures so that we can protect each other and the ones we love.
Asenteni sana
Walikuwa na Rais kichaka kama yule wa kale ka nchi hakutaka ushauri,hakutaka kulitambua na kulikabiri bomu hadi lilipomlipukia mkononi,adhabu yake unaijua wamemfanya nini. kwa sasa wanaenda vizuri imeanza kushuka baada ya mkaidi kufurushwa,ila sisi ka hela kao tunachukua ila tunakapeleka kwenye mambo mengine COVID 19 hapa kwetu haipo,au tumebadiri msimamo?Typical Uncle SAM's inept arrogance!! USA has failed miserably to contain COVID-19 pandemic - here they are in their vain effort trying to give some lessons to Tanzania Govt on how we should deal/Contain COVID-19 virus infection.
The only NATION in the World that has succeeded to tame COVID-19 is China - USA should borrow a leaf from them Chinese instead of demonising them or telling Tanzania what we should or shouldn't do.
Kuagiza na kuomba ni vitu viwili tofauti.Ambassador to Tanzania. I want to talk to you about COVID-19, and how we can work together to prevent its spread and help all of us stay safe.

US na UK walivyo hamia Irak walishirikiana na Dunia na kuna mambo mengi tu , hata vita vya kibiashara na Russia , China na Nchi za Kiafrika , je wana act in a modern way au primitivelyViongozi wa Tanzania, wanatakiwa kushirikiana na Dunia. Hata kama unasema una njia zako zinazotibu Covid 19, unatakiwa uishawishi Dunia, na Dunia ithibitishe.
We are acting primitively by not cooperating with globe community.
Lawama gani sasa? Si watibu watu wao sisi tunawahusu nini...hivi hamjajiongeza tu kua hii ni biashara? Nani anaumwa Corona huku mtaani?wanajiepusha na lawama ya mbeleni kwamba kwanini walikuwa wakiona na hawakusema?
Lini Marekani na wenzie waliwahi kuja hapa kutafuta ushirikiano wa kweli zaidi ya kuja kupora? Acheni upuuziViongozi wa Tanzania, wanatakiwa kushirikiana na Dunia. Hata kama unasema una njia zako zinazotibu Covid 19, unatakiwa uishawishi Dunia, na Dunia ithibitishe.

Mkuu kuna watu wana mentality ya uganba wa kienyeji.Kuna comment nyingine ukizisoma ni ngumu kuelewa alichoandika Kama mfupa wa mbwa usivyotafunika aiseeee. Yaani akili za wabongo ni umbea tuu sijui kwa vile wanakesha mabaa.
Ila kuna wanaofurahia hivi vifo sijui wanatarajia nini.
Nakumbuka kuna mwaka kwa ilikuja chanjo ya watt watu hawahawa walikuwa wanasema hiyo chanjo ni ya kuzuia watoto wa Kike kuzaaa. Mbona walichanjwa na wanazaa. Wapenda madaraka acheni kuidhalilisha Tanzania mbele ya dunia.
Ujinga nao ni sifa.Lini Marekani na wenzie waliwahi kuja hapa kutafuta ushirikiano wa kweli zaidi ya kuja kupora? Acheni upuuzi
The Gwajimas, Nchembes should take note.
The US Ambassador who is a medical Doctor surely knows what he is talking about.
The larger Tanzania population agrees with this statement.
Problem is, there are people probably benefiting from the desease and would prefer it remains that way.
Franlky we dont understand why science is not allowed to work.

Marekani ni joka la kibisaHivi hao wamarekani wataendelea kumpigia mbuzi gitaa mpaka lini?!
Hiyo Phd kuna mtu alipewa bila kukaa darasani na thesis ya kukopi ndio maana anafanya ufutuhi kila kukicha.Ukiamini kuwa hao wanaotaka kushirikiana nawe wana njama za kukudhuru, eti kwa vile wewe ni tajiri sana, hapo patakuwepo na ushirikiano kweli?
Lakini la kushangaza ni kwa kiongozi, tena anayejitangaza msomi wa PhD, bado anakuwa na mawazo ya aina hii kwenye enzi hizi za sayansi na teknolojia!
Hivi teknology iliyopo sasa, wakitaka kumwondoa yeyote, hawa mabeberu watashindwa?
Na kwa nini wahangaike na kuwadhuru watu wengine wasiohusika, si watamtafuta tu mwenye kichwa ngumu na kumwondoshea mbali?

Kama hukwenda shule nani wa kulaumiwa?Hata Kiswahili ni lugha pia, ya nini kujilazimisha kuandika kimalikia?
Naona lengo lako ni la kisiasa zaidi kuliko uhalisia! Labda nirudie kukukumbusha kwamba takwimu huru zinaonyesha kwamba contrary na madai ya kubumba ya Serikali ya Merikani ugonjwa wa COVI-19 unaongezeka katika Taifa hilo sio kupungua!!wa
