We had an ample time to take crucial measures on Corona virus but our leaders kept on dragging their feet.
One key issue where Magufuli's government messed up, is a refusal to shut down borders allowing the infected to come in
Even up to the moment, foreigners are still coming in and the government is deluding itself thinking that the 14 days quarantine is enough. Let me tell you one thing even a notion of quarantining an infected person inside your own borders is still risky! He can still accidentally pass a virus to someone who he can come in contact with(such as room Cleaners, luggage senders, you name it).
The other thing is Corona virus has proven to be very elusive, you can test a person multiple times and find him negative while he is positive.
What about our testing capacity, can we effectively test all foreigners who come in here?
Apart from that, we made a huge mistake discouraging face masks while it is a testimony from countries which had a battle with virus earlier confirming that wearing masks was a game changer in this struggle.
The government should now take drastic measures to stop unnecessary congregations, Stop vijiwe vya kahawa, stop vikao vya harusi, sherehe
If we must allow people to enter prayer houses let everyone who go in wear mask otherwise should not be allowed to go in
Let people who use public transport wear masks otherwise should not be let in
Distribute Chloroquine to every household and give instructions how to use pills once a person have symptons of Corona. This is important because no enough hospitals or medical staff to attend everyone.
We hardly have only Three days up to a week to act, beyond that we are in big big trouble.
Statistics are not in our favor, we have seen countries which recorded very few cases in their early days of outbreak BUT a month later cases are in tens of thousands. Tanzania is not an Island, Stubbornness of our Leaders will cost us dearly.
