Update on the COVID-19 Outbreak in Uganda (15.04.2020)







“Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
The wicked band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death” (Psalms 94: 20-21; New International Version).
Today, the numbers are starting to get worrying. The Tanzanian state now have 88 people whose confirmed with COVID-19 or the Coronavirus. This is up 29 in one day. There is also reported a total of 4 deaths, which is confirmed in connection with the virus. 1 of these death also happen on Zanzibar. The major hub for the disease is still in Dar-es Salaam.
However, the act of the President isn’t a sign of strength. That he trusts God and doesn’t do a lockdown. That the President doesn’t mitigate or social distancing. The blockage of transport into the United Republic isn’t enough. That is the beginning. As the numbers are starting to prove. The rapid rise is on the way. If the President and his team doesn’t act.
This will really hurt the Republic if he doesn’t act. The deaths of Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and United States should be a lesson to the Presidency. Why he should act swiftly and take a cue from them. Instead of doing the same failure and damage by running government like normal and business too.
Tanzania is still keeping churches open. Keeping ordinary trade and ensuring the daily life goes without consequence. Except, there is a rise in cases of COVID-19. The numbers of 29 doesn’t sound to bad now. However, the reason for worry is that the virus spreads between 1,5 times to 4 times from one carrier. Unless, there is a mitigation or trying to control the outbreak. Nevertheless, that is not the case in concern with Tanzania. As the President and his men doesn’t do anything substantial.
They are only praying to God, who got the antidote and got the cure. The man who prays, asks for eternal powers and helps from the Almighty. Still, the man who does that doesn’t listen to advice or to what happens elsewhere in the world. As the numbers are rising. The outbreak is worsening and its only starting. As always in these manners, not everyone is tested and there are hidden numbers. Since, it is official rising numbers should worry CCM and Magufuli.
Though, I think it has to hit harder before he reacts. There has to be sudden death in the Court of the President. If not in the mere sphere of the chambers of power. Some sort of relative to his allies or the President. Than, he might react and be reactionary.
Until then, the lie will continue. The lies of the state will be there. God gave you a mind. Use it and use the wisdom has given you. God has given you warnings and science, use it for the common good. Don’t be a fool, Mr. President. It is not worth losing these people’s lives, because of your ego and your will.
Right now is the time to act and do something. Before the pandemic hits home. It is starting, the knocking on the doors are happening. It is your turn to act like a leader and guide the public. Peace.
