what has this got to do with NPP boys? grow up. this is a pandemic of which the whole world is under pressure. Ghana has done remarkable well in managing it. the poverty levels in Ghana would make the virus spreed very fast. that is why we fasted for God's intervention. this is beyond politics. insults would not help this situation. use your energy to educate people in your family and community about spacing and covering your mouth and nose. it would help and when all is done we can go on to the politics.
Sometimes I become sick when I listened to technocrats who because of politics has thrown their expertise in the bud. I am a specialist working in one of the hospitals in our country. And can authoritatively tell u the acute shortage of PPEs in the hospitals. I wonder where the procured PPEs has vanished into. Mr. President concentrate on human capacity in the health sector and complete the uncompleted facilities in and around the country before u think of building the 88.
In fact, this battle is still THE LORDS. #Stay home and break the spread.
You are right. I don't think they have thought about that yet. All they are thinking is Accra, Kumasi and Tema. That was his reason for doing the partial lockdown. Most of our foods come from the villages, what if those collections and foodstuff are contaminated by a farmer who unknowingly have COVID 19. They don't think outside the box. Some of us ordinary citizens are even smarter than them.
My fear about this disease is not about the big cities oo, but about the villages. As soon as one or two COVID 19 patients get to our villages, that is where we are likely to see how deadly this disease is. As at now, the testing and tracing is mostly in big cities. No one knows how many cases are in the villages. Remember that most of our citizens are in the rural areas, who lack healthcare so if this gets there, nana addo should start packing his bag and prepare his handover notes.
COVID is here to stay...but still malaria reigns
The numbers are running like Usain Bolt and the president is also busily promising to build hospitals to keep the COVID 19 patients. Any wise leader will by now plan spending the money meant for building these hospitals supporting Ghanaians to stay home while he locks down the whole country for 6 to 8 weeks, by which time the number might have reduced dramatically. But this man is rather saying let the sickness spread, I will use the money to build hospitals to quarantine patients. What a twerp! When Rwandan president is giving money to populace to stay home, our president has made it free for all here. It is reported that some market women have been diagnosed with COVID 19, so it is safe to say that many people have this disease already but they have not been dictated yet. This week could been the fifth week of lockdown and by next week the number could have been down but the confused man has made this get out of mind.
Against all advice, this ev*l dw*rf decided to lift the lockdown for his own parochial interest - win the 2020 elections. Now, we are having increased infections. He doesn't care about Ghana's most important assets - the people. All he wants is to stay in power. King Promise aka Nana DoLittle, we have had enough of you. Start packing out of the Flagstaff House
Why now the npp boys can’t comment again. Danduruwa shege
I saw 1671 and not 1971 positive cases. Anyway these days the information is not reliable.
