FEARS BEHIND THE DEADLY VIRUS

In February 2020, as fears of a world wide COVID-19 pandemic caused by a new corona virus from China spread across the globe, many Western news outlets began running stories suggestion the popular Mexican brand of beer called Corona due to their mistakenly connecting it with the corona virus. Now this is funny. A clear trope that suggests people are dumb that they think the beer and the virus are connected.

     

Some believe that China created this virus so as to use it against the Iranians during the World War III. All this backfired when the virus became stronger than the cure. Well this is just a myth . Others believe that the virus was spread by animals like cats and dogs. We are not sure.

     

Reportedly, Corona has caused 200 deaths in Italy and approximately 49 people died in 24hours. Over 684 cases in Germany and 206 cases in United Kingdom. 197 deaths exceed in China causing over 100,000 deaths globally. China exports fall by 17% hence a big loss to the Chinese government. This is causing fear as we breathe and meet people daily knowing it can get to us anytime.

There was a corona virus scare in Narok Eastsub-county because of Chinese nationals who were involved in a construction project. Residents feared because the nationals were seen with masks and hence suspected that they had the virus. They were quarantined at one of the Standard Gauge Railway construction sites.

The Government may seem to be promising in ensuring the safety of the citizens, buh how sure are we that the virus is not in our midst? It may be the biggest fear in most countries especially when you realize that life must go on and you don't really know when or how it comes. ' Don't touch your eyes, mouth and nose' is all they say. Will this practice really help prevent us from getting the virus?

This issue has really left many question marks as we just move hoping and praying all will be well and that we will stay healthy.
