Two full days have passed without a further public situation update on Ebola from Kenya’s Ministry of Health. The last update was issued by DG Health Dr Patrick Amoth on Monday, 26 October. It brought welcome news: 20 contacts had completed their 21-day monitoring and returned home in good health. Nine confirmed cases in a single cluster, two deaths, seven patients stable in treatment, all 135 contacts traced 💯 and 98 contacts still under monitoring. The Kenya NPHI dashboard on its website shows 548 people tested, but the dates and testing activity displayed leave it unclear how current the information is. Have further tests been done? Have all additional results been negative? How are the seven patients progressing? The silence from MOH is making me feel somewhat queasy and uneasy. I suspect many in the public, media and health community are wondering likewise. Perhaps there are no new confirmed cases and all the patients remain stable. That would be very good news. But on the other hand, the silence does leave some of us wondering whether something concerning is being investigated or awaiting confirmation before an announcement. God forbid! Of course, silence is not evidence that something is wrong, but MOH must please update us daily! An information gap leaves room for anxiety, speculation and rumours. That is not healthy during an outbreak, when public trust and confidence in the authorities are so important. Uganda and Nigeria have been publishing updates on contact monitoring and response activities. We in Kenya need a predictable daily public bulletin too, even when the figures remain unchanged. If something remains uncertain, MOH should acknowledge it. It need not be lengthy: tests done and results, any new confirmed cases, patients’ progress, and contacts still under monitoring. “No new confirmed cases” is still news. It should be stated in a dated daily public situation report, rather than left to be inferred from silence. MOH @MOH_Kenya, DG @DrPatrickAmoth, Hon. CS @HonAdenDuale … please keep us updated daily.

More than 10,000 people been infected and reported with #Ebola in the #DRC, and, sadly, close to half have died. In some families, more than one life has been lost. The devastation is immense. It remains clear that the government-led and partner supported response must continue to scale up and out across all affected areas as well as those at risk. But there are encouraging signs of progress: -Close to 2700 people have recovered so far and over 1000 are currently receiving clinical care; -Science, collaboration and communities are offering new vaccine and treatment candidates to prevent and treat Ebola caused by the Bundibugyo virus. @WHO is working with partners on several clinical trials currently underway; -Capacity to provide optimised clinical care to Ebola patients by protected health workers has expanded to over 2100 beds across 109 Ebola transit and treatment centres; -Engagement of private health service providers, traditional healers and community leaders into the response is opening up new opportunities to detect patients early; -With the outbreak spreading to hard to reach and conflict affected areas, we are expanding our operations through rapid response teams who can reach communities where they are. These efforts and progress give us more than hope, the outbreak can and will be brought under control and ended. We call for continued global solidarity and support to sustain the response. We will not let up.

As a doctor, I’m acutely aware of my potential bias, but I think the public should approach claims of medical negligence by families in the media with much more scrutiny. Especially after deaths. Healthcare isn’t perfect, but the full story is OFTEN not shared.

Good to see some of the reactions to Serbia and Brazil: that it takes dedicated organising to win an election. What will it take to change a system? To fix an economy? To challenge a deeply unfair global (dis)order? To renew a social commitment to the values Kenyans agreed represent them? Just as important, who will it take beyond politicians for this to happen? Kenya is in an argument between its past and its future - how it goes depends on who shows up to argue.

They DID the work! Local organizing, civics, turning up at the polls etc. Not just a miracle.
I don’t know if those who are categorical that there can be no miracles in elections are following the happenings in Serbia and Brazil. Im super encouraged for 2027 because we in Kenya pray to the same God. Inshallah we get ours too.

Earlier this morning, the Ebola patient in Nigeria and her contact, who is also her husband, were medically evacuated to Switzerland. The reasons for the evacuation are: ✅ Both the patient and her husband are Swiss citizens. ✅ The patient is clinically stable. The Nigerian medical team successfully managed her through the acute phase of the illness and stabilized her condition. On behalf of WHO and all partners, I warmly congratulate the Government of Nigeria, health workers, clinicians, emergency responders and all those involved in the response. This is a remarkable achievement and a testament to what Africa can accomplish when we work together. With the evacuation of the patient and her husband, Nigeria currently has no Ebola cases. However, vigilance remains critical. Nigeria will continue the close follow-up of 52 contacts, while Switzerland will assume responsibility for the continued management of the patient and the follow-up of contact number 53, her husband. Congratulations once again to everyone involved. This is a proud moment demonstrating African expertise, resilience, and leadership in public health. ---------------------------- Ce matin, la patiente atteinte d’Ebola au Nigéria et son contact, qui est également son époux, ont été évacués médicalement vers la Suisse. Les raisons de cette évacuation sont les suivantes : ✅ La patiente et son mari sont tous deux citoyens suisses. ✅ La patiente est cliniquement stable. L’équipe médicale nigériane a réussi à la prendre en charge durant la phase aiguë de la maladie et à stabiliser son état. Au nom de l’OMS et de tous les partenaires, je félicite chaleureusement le Gouvernement du Nigéria, les agents de santé, les cliniciens, les intervenants d’urgence et toutes les personnes impliquées dans la réponse. C’est une réalisation remarquable et une preuve de ce que l’Afrique peut accomplir lorsque nous travaillons ensemble. Avec l’évacuation de la patiente et de son mari, le Nigéria ne compte actuellement plus de cas d’Ebola. Cependant, la vigilance reste essentielle. Le Nigéria poursuivra le suivi rapproché de 52 contacts, tandis que la Suisse assurera la prise en charge continue de la patiente et le suivi du 53ᵉ contact, son mari. Félicitations encore à toutes celles et ceux qui ont contribué à cette réussite. Ce moment est une fierté, démontrant l’expertise, la résilience et le leadership africains en santé publique. ---------------------------- Hoje de manhã, a paciente com doença pelo vírus Ebola na Nigéria e o seu contacto, que é também o seu marido, foram evacuados por via médica para a Suíça. A evacuação deve-se aos seguintes motivos: ✅ Tanto a paciente como o seu marido são cidadãos suíços. ✅ A paciente encontra-se clinicamente estável. A equipa médica nigeriana conseguiu prestar-lhe cuidados durante a fase aguda da doença e estabilizar o seu estado de saúde. Em nome da OMS e de todos os parceiros, felicito calorosamente o Governo da Nigéria, os profissionais de saúde, os clínicos, as equipas de resposta a emergências e todas as pessoas envolvidas na resposta. Esta é uma conquista notável e uma prova do que África pode alcançar quando trabalhamos em conjunto. Com a evacuação da paciente e do seu marido, a Nigéria não tem atualmente nenhum caso de doença pelo vírus Ebola. No entanto, é fundamental manter a vigilância. A Nigéria continuará a acompanhar de perto 52 contactos, enquanto a Suíça assumirá a responsabilidade pela continuidade dos cuidados à paciente e pelo acompanhamento do contacto número 53, o seu marido. Mais uma vez, felicito todas as pessoas envolvidas. Este é um momento de orgulho que demonstra a competência, a resiliência e a liderança de África no domínio da saúde pública.
I Confirm that, with my approval, earlier this morning, the index case for Nigeria’s first imported Ebola virus disease departed Abuja for Switzerland. The index patient was clinically much improved, stable, conscious, communicating, and her clinical laboratory test results closing towards baseline. This does not mean she is not still infectious, hence the strict protocols in place. The patient was evacuated along with her spouse who has remained asymptomatic. I thank all the various clinical staff for the high quality care they provided the patient as well as the public health personnel who ensured the evacuation was carried out in line with best public health measures for such evacuations. We will provide further updates later this afternoon after the patient and her spouse lands successfully in their destination. All public health measures are continuing to ensure successful containment of the imported virus. I urge Nigerians to remain vigilant and rely on information from credible sources.

Aden Duale: Sifuna lost two times in Bungoma, he became a senator because of Baba and Luo votes and he will not get it this time. Sifuna is going to the election for the very first time, in fact, at a very high, from a senator to a president. I don’t even know whether he has the resources. I don’t think Sifuna can call the MPs of Western in Serena, buy them lunch and give them allowances. Oparanya, Wetangula and Musalia can do. Sifuna is driving on the Thika Super Highway or the Expressway at high speed and he is going to crash very soon politically. Ndindi Nyoro and Gachagua are tribalists #CitizenSundayLive

There are healthcare, airline and airport workers who have spent weeks in mandatory quarantine terrified that they may have ebola, a few healtcare have tested positive..... Can you imagine what it's like to have strangers call your personal nightmare a hoax?

Q-Tip made the "Electric Relaxation" beat in Phife Dawg's grandmother's basement. She'd given him a key. Phife came home, heard Ronnie Foster's "Mystic Brew" drifting up from below and ran downstairs without even saying hi to grandma: “Yo, what the hell is that?!”

About the ebola in NIG & KEN, these are the main schools of thought I have gathered today: 1) "The cases are made up so that individuals in the government can get money from donors and WHO (to pocket)" 2)"The cases are made up so that the government in power can interfere with the upcoming elections (3 months away in NIG, 10 months in KEN)" 3) "The cases are real but they were deliberately imported for same reasons above" Whatever the reason, the dominant feeling is that our political class is so thuggish and can do anything, including tanking the economy as long as they benefit financially and politically. My take? Two things can be true at the same time: that our politicians can be thugs but the cases are real. While you are here......
