In the coming days and weeks even months, there will be more new cases and deaths. But comparing to those countries with advanced healthcare and technology, the old country has been spared from the worst of it. I just read news that Kenya has secured an agreement with a company already making one of the current COVID-19 vaccines to manufacture it domestically. The company’s name was not announced but it shows countries in Africa have started looking inward. I’m sure Dr. Lia has something going in that respect. I understand that Ethiopia has been making certain drugs and vaccines inside the country already. I hope these two neighbors, Kenya and Ethiopia, will come up with a partnership to do things like this. Such life saving drug and vaccine monopoly needs to be broken. Sooner or later there will be other types of pandemics bearing down on humanity and every country should be on a lookout and ready to deal with it effectively. God Speed!!!
