Where are Tanzania Covid-19 cases? Where is the medicine used for these recoveries? This medicine should be exported to the Western nations to help them recover. Where is news about what Kenya is doing to prevent more cases. Or for 4 months we only report new cases daily? Kenya is God's country. Let's keep watching Revelation and Restoration!!

Not that Kenya has any medicine. It’s a fact that Africans in general have a stronger immune system than our western sisters and brothers. That’s why it’s vital to leave the children get exposed to dirt, eat dirt or food from the ground, eat wild fruits without cleaning, in the process what doesn’t kill them makes them stronger. This is a fact! Look at what’s happening in USA, almost everything is being sterilized on daily basis, every disease even flu is treated with lots of medicine, no chance for immune system to fight any disease on its own. May the good Lord continue to protect us.
