The UK initially advocated this strategy but, following recent research outcomes and fierce internal criticism, reversed its decision. PM Abiy appears to be following this strategy of letting the virus work it’s way through the population with the intention of attaining herd immunity at some point.

His Health Minister is telling the public they got the cure and to go on business as usual. Some analysts see this as pure incompetence and naïveté but I disagree. It tells me his administration is following the strategy UK was criticized for even by the WHO and the EU.

In defense of PM Abiy, his administration doesn’t rule a country with a solid health sector that allows him to consider lock downs and robust testing, isolating & contact tracing to enable the slowing of the spread. To make matters worse, lock downs would cause even more economic fatalities.

So it seems to me they are allowing the virus to spread which means they are taking actions. I’m not medical expert but I think we should follow India and see how its 21 days lockdown plays out in terms of effect on public health and the economic.

I think for some reason, the spread of the infection is slow and also mortality is not that much in Africa. I don't know if the virus has some cross immunity with the usual common cold and flu that Africans daily infected with-that give them natural immunity.

schools and universities are closed (is this nothing in your agame eyes?)
testing centers set up (of course this is doing nothing when you are agame)
implementing social distancing (not perfect) but still (agame sees nothing)
quarantine at the airport and in hotels (agame is blind what others do)
providing sanitizers and sanitary equipment and companies switching to producing such products (agame eyes are only good to see evil)

It is in fact called a desperate attempt of trying to revive a failed political game under the schield of global pandemic.


It would have been worth if they try to criticize the PM and his administration based on a fact, but they are incapable of that and they are doomed to such rumors and pseudo analysis.

It looks like the opposition is grasping this pandemic much better than the ruling party. They even offer ways to prepare
