I imagine it will break your heart once you find out kua alinyimwa dawa ee? Like how you were gutted after being told that he will be cremated when you already started defending your masters!
It's wise not to bite the hand that feeds you, but you man have gone as far as licking the ass that is part of the hand!! Pathetic!
Hehehehe (hicho kicheko cha hela, try it, hehehehe.)

Hoja ipo sana tu. Ni kwanini mwafrika kama wewe bado hajitambui mpaka leo? King'asti alisema jamaa atakua cremated, wewe like a proper house nigga ukaanza kudefend na kusema she is jumping the gun. In no time ikaonekana kweli wana cremate ukasema she was "on the money".
Sasa kuna wazungu wa3 tu marekani nzima wanatibiwa EBOLA kwa sasa, yet alivyoumwa mswahili ikaripotiwa "dawa" wanyotibiwa wazungu imeisha!!
Na akili zako zetu zinazokuruhusu kujua choo kiko wapi unaamua kuamini hili kua your beloved Americans only have that limited an amount of medicine to only be adequate to treating less than 5 people in the whole country!!!
Seriously man? Your godly masters have medication for 3 people only!!
You a proper uncle ruckus man, proper!

Hunijui, hivyo acha kusadiki. Kama wewe hujitambui basi usidhani kila mtu hajitambui.
Kwanza get your facts straight. It was kui, not King'asti. Then get things right. I didn't say she was jumping the gun. I asked if she was jumping the gun. Big difference there but I realize your pea sized brain can't process nuance!
And she was on the money and I told her that. So what's the big deal?
Ok, sasa tatizo liko wapi kama imeisha?
Kapakue utoko wa mamako.
Hahahaaa, do something then.

Thomas Eric Duncan: 'What ifs' surround death
By Faith Karimi and Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN

Pastor: Family devastated by Ebola death
A A A (resize font)
(CNN) - His family is devastated. The woman he planned to marry haunted by the "what ifs." And many are wondering why Thomas Eric Duncan died when several other Ebola patients treated in the United States survived.
Duncan was hospitalized eight days after he arrived from Liberia, and later tested positive for Ebola. He died Wednesday, but not much is known about his medical history.
Here are six ways his case differs from other patients in the U.S.:
Duncan wasn't hospitalized right away
Unlike the American patients, who were quickly tested and quarantined at the first sign of Ebola, Duncan wasn't.
Duncan arrived in Dallas from Liberia on September 20, and he made his initial visit to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on September 25.
He was treated for a fever, vomiting and abdominal pain -- all symptoms of Ebola. But he was sent home with antibiotics and was not screened for the virus. Relatives say he told hospital staff he'd come from Liberia.
Three days later, he was hospitalized in worse condition and was quickly isolated. He became the first case of the deadly virus diagnosed on American soil.
"What if they had taken him right away? And what if they had been able to get treatment to him earlier?" said pastor George Mason of Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas.
He didn't get an experimental drug immediately
Duncan received experimental medicine on October 4 -- six days after admission to the hospital. It was a far longer wait than four other Ebola patients treated in the United States. Those patients -- two each at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital and the University of Nebraska Medical Center -- got experimental medicine immediately. They're all U.S. citizens; Duncan was a Liberian.
His family is claiming bias.
"We feel he didn't get the medicine and treatment for the disease because he's African and they don't consider him as important as the other three," said Josephus Weeks, his nephew.
Not so, the hospital says.
Since the drugs are still experimental, individual hospitals have to file the paperwork with the Food and Drug Administration for permission to use them. Stephanie Yao, a spokeswoman for the FDA, says the agency received the request to use the experimental drug brincidofovir on Friday, October 3, five days after Duncan entered the hospital.
He got a different experimental drug
Duncan got brincidofovir.
Two of four patients who survived after treatment in the U.S. received a different drug, ZMapp. Experts say there's no proof that ZMapp or any drug is effective in treating Ebola. A Spanish priest infected with Ebola died after taking it in August.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said ZMapp stocks have since been depleted.
A third American patient received TKM-Ebola -- another experimental drug approved by the FDA recently for wider use.
The fourth one, NBC cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, who got infected in Liberia and was airlifted to Nebraska on Sunday, got the same drug as Duncan.
Ebola drugs are in the works
The hospital treating him had no advance notice
The Atlanta and Nebraska facilities knew in advance they were expecting Ebola patients, a crucial element for a disease so rare in the United States.
Hospitals that took care of the four are also among the most well-equipped nationwide to battle the deadly virus.
Despite lack of notification, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said Duncan got top-notch care and his medical team consulted daily with the CDC and Emory.
Information on his case has been muddled
Details on Duncan's background have not been as clear-cut.
His relatives said he made it clear to the hospital that he had just come from Liberia. His symptoms pointed at Ebola, they said.
Initially, the hospital said Duncan was "not exhibiting symptoms specific to Ebola" when he first went to the hospital. And, they said, details about his travel history weren't communicated to doctors.
