What alarming are the numbers coming out of the two neighboring countries, Djibouti and The Sudan. They have been counting new cases by hundreds lately not by single and double digits like the old country. It goes to prove that hot weather does not affect the efficiency of the deadly virus. And people will continue to run for cover from these nations and where could be the better candidate/destination? Let’s just hope that this deadly virus will disappear as in a jiffy as the final scene in Close Encounters of The Third Kind.
