Kenyan Woman Dies of COVID-19 Hours After Appealing for Oxygen on Facebook
A Kenyan woman has died of COVID-19 hours after taking to social media to appeal for oxygen.
Through Facebook on Friday morning, Fiona Juma said her oxygen levels were at 52 and pleaded with anyone with oxygen to help her out. She was admitted to Mbagathi Hospital in Nairobi after contracting coronavirus.
“If this is my last post; then, God I want to say thank you to everyone who has been there for me ever since I contracted COVID-19,” she wrote.
“I have been to Mbagathi Hospital where I have been trying to get oxygen for hours now and days. My oxygen levels are at 52 at the moment. I can barely walk nor speak, they are telling me there is no oxygen completely. I have seen people die right before my eyes; not one or two people.”
She concluded: It’s now 3:51 am as I write this…I am kindly requesting any doctors who happen to have oxygen to please help us. PLEASE!!!”
On Friday, the country reported 945 new cases of COVID-19 and 16 fatalities. This raised the total number of infections and deaths to 201,954 and 3,926 respectively.

Oxygen level 52, and still on FB! This means Mbagathi Hospital is not equipped to handle Covid patients. She should not have been breathing on her own.

Sick with COVID-19? Forget the Money laundering Oxygen tanks and @Maxiley's rantings! Yes, take your Medicine, but more Important: Be laying, resting, or sleeping Face down; on your Stomac; with Face tilted to the Side for maximum Breathing in of natural Oxygen.

The main organs were failing at oxygen level of 52! A friend’s levels were at 84 after he contracted covid, and at that level he was hallucinating and had blurred speech!
Once oxygen level begins to drop below 90, everything else just remains at the mercy of God. I do not know how she was functioning at 52!
Folks just need to take this COVID seriously!

What was @maxiley ranting about? What you say about sleeping on your stomach makes sense! However, you are attacking @maxiley for nothing because he is not the doctor present at the time in that hospital!
Again, folks need to take COVID19 seriously! I blame you for not supplying the right amount of oxygen needed in Kenya @msonomusevenibari!

@ vega, Iam wondering same.I think if the "it" is a female the blame goes to severe pains dues to menstruation,that is assuming "it" is not menopausal. And if "it" is a man, it is a matter of severely diminished efficacy of testis.

I'm sorry, what? I'm not sure what @Maxiley has to do with this but the ranting appears to be one sided here. Which medical medical school did you graduate from and are you familiar with the term mūgūrūki? I'm curious as to where you got this advice.

Sad!! the difference between life & death was just a cylinder with O2 gas. What plagued us that we cannot even extract adequate O2 from air for our people? RIP girl.

Hey Hey!@Margie, there are adults in the room. You can make your arguments without using obscenities. The dirty words you spew and haul at the other person describe you and not your opponent. They come from inside you. Am sure you have something better between your ears. Respect yourself and it will reflect on others. Stop abusing self.

May her soul Rest In Peace. Before she died, she posted that people were dying all around her, not one or two, according to her. She begged for oxygen but nobody responded. Yet we all know about the covid billionaires grand scam of last year where billions were stolen & nobody has been brought to book. Fellow Kenyans, CORRUPTION KILLS! This lady, and others like her would probably be alive had that money been properly used to fast track vaccinations across the board so that she wouldn’t have fallen sick in the first place! CORRUPTION is evil & if you are partaking of it, you are part of the reason this young lady is lying dead in the mortuary right now. We have collectively put a severe, brutal curse on ourselves - please resist corruption at all costs. For instance, ukifika JKIA when entering the country, just refuse to bribe. The most notable characteristic of a shit-hole country is corruption
