      Yeah, many have recovered, but what about the 36 recent deaths? Are they just seen as collateral damage in you "fight" to promote your position? SMH

    The PCR test cannot differentiate regular flu from covid so the numbers are therefore disqualified. Call off the curfew and those ventilators and get to the herbs thank you.

    Total KNOWN cases. This is a disease where more than 50% of people don’t even know they have it. Only way to know for sure is to be tested

    Party Start Now! Government please I ask you to ensure that businesses adhere to safety guidelines and protocols. We have come to far to turn back. We are not out of the woods, however, please hold these entities responsible. Bars/Clubs should be monitored more often and frequently.
