All the numbers have been in the uptick for weeks now. Daily count of new infections has been rising for several days. The recovery rate has been going down also. I expected this bad trend after I saw the video my friend emailed me last month which thousands of people celebrating religious holidays without wearing face masks and clearly flaunting the proper social distancing Dr. Lia bint Tadesse was advising everyone to observe at social gatherings. Her blessed effort will not produce and maintain positive results without the relentless cooperation by the leaders of both major religions. Today’s new infections count for today has gone up to 949 and the recovery rate has gone down to 85.9% from the recent 90% . This is on the weekend. I am afraid dark days may be ahead. I hope and pray I will be very wrong!!!
