IS CORONA VIRUS A MENACE?

When the 239 passengers who flew from China were cleared to enter the country,most of the Kenyan citizens raised their disappointments to the government.However,they were asked for 14 days self quarantine as a precautionary measure.Considering the fact that Wuhan,China is where Corona virus had its first outbreak Kenya was expected to be among the list of countries that quarantine people arriving from China.Well that was not the case,unlike,other countries Kenya joined Iran in the list of countries that do not quarantine people arriving from China.

What's this Corona virus that everybody is talking about?
Unlike flu,Corona virus has no treatment.It is a new virus and few people have the immunity to fight it.Its common signs of infection include:respiratory symptoms,fever,cough,shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.When it is extreme it causes pneumonia,severe acute respiratory syndrome,kidney failure and even death.

As i said earlier the origin of this virus is in Wuhan China and it has rapidly spread to other parts of the world."Corona virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets,not everyone who gets exposed will get sick."Dr Mercy Korir said in an interview with the Standard Digital.

WAYS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTION.
1.Washing hands with soap and water.
2.Avoid touching eyes,nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
3.Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Individuals with cold like symptoms have been advised to:
1.Stay home if they are unwell.
2.Clean and disinfectant objects and surfaces they are in contact with.
3.Cover their mouth or nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing

THE TRANSITION

Hey loves🤗 I will start by accepting the fact that I am the president of a lazy town because it took me this long to write something on my blog.And in the spirit  of trying to keep things light because of everything that is going on in the world ,I've decided to write something about growing up and becoming an adult. You ever have been randomly doing something and out of nowhere you burst into tears.You don't know what it is but you feel like you are missing it desperately, and you also feel a lot more lonely than you let people think you are.I don't know about you all but to me this what my twenties feel like.PS: You can share your experiences too in the comments .

You know bec...

MY JOURNEY WITH MY DEAF SISTER.

 I was a bit hesitant to write about this but went ahead anyway. It is not like it has ever been a big secret, but every time I have talked about it I have earned pity, shame and endless questions.    file from my photos       Allow me to introduce you to my younger sister Wendy Gakii Muriuki.The year 2004 was when this beautiful girl was brought to the world. At first we didn't notice that she was deaf until she is two years old. After my parents realized this, they knocked every specialist door, talked to doctors, but all was in vain. To some of our neighbors, It was a "curse " as they termed it. I would not deny it, the world of disability is a lonely one, filled with tears ,pain and dashed hopes and many were the times I would ask myself how different life would be if she could hear. It is to my parents that I am forever grateful. For staying with her, nurturing her and sacrificing so much for her.Its hard to use sign language while you've nev...

As at now am under my supervisor's instruction .I hope you will bear with my situation and continue supporting me through your views,comments and sharing too.              BURNING TALES OF LOVE Their is no better place of being in a relationship like university.Relationships there are sweet,fun and exciting.You see those couple goals like matching outfits,attending classes together and going for photo shoots and literally having no one to restrict you on when to see your partner.It is in campuses where most people tend to get their future partners.Their is different kind of fuss about relationships in campus plus the peer pressure too.To be not dating in campus one would be missing  lot.                            ...
