Blame Games On Trump; We Thought We Had The Best Healthcare System Until Coronavirus Has Exposed us, Americans Lament After They Vacated Uganda Amidst Covid-19 Fear.



Americans regret flying out of Uganda as Covid-19 hits home hard. 
Americans are proud of their country, the United States of America (USA), because over the centuries it has been in existence, the country has always regarded itself as a global super power, not only militarily, but in other areas such as; commerce, education, science, technology and health among others.

And that is why when in December 2019 the highly infectious Coronavirus (Covid-19) broke out in China’s Wahun Province, the political leadership in USA took it as a mere flu that had defeated the Chinese health system. But at the same time, the USA saw it necessary to evacuate its nationals out of other countries they saw as being very weak to manage the fast-spreading pandemic that has now killed over 26,000 people in that country not withstanding over 600,000 cases registered to-date.

Uganda, a poor country, was of course one of the countries from which USA evacuated its nationals thinking they would fast catch Covid-19 while here and that the returnees would be much better safer at home than in Uganda, despite Uganda recording the first case of Covid-19 much later than USA, which currently is the worst Covid-19 hit country in the world, putting President Donald Trump’s re-election bid in peril.

This news site can say that some USA citizens who returned to their country from Uganda due to the fear of catching Covid-19 are regretting the decision after realising that Uganda is a much better place to stay right now than USA as far as the spread of Covid-19 is concerned. Uganda has registered over 50 cases, while a good number of patients continue to recover from the disease, as no deaths are being registered, thanks to Uganda’s health system and political leadership.

An American, who is still in Uganda and declined to respond to his government’s advice that he leaves Uganda with others, has said that, his friends who left Uganda wish they had stayed in the country. “I call them daily and whenever they speak, they regret leaving Uganda which has so far managed Covid-19 very well,” he says on condition of anonymity, adding that: “Uganda has been able to fight another deadly disease Ebola. This gave me courage to stay.”

His friend, who returned to USA from Uganda and who this news site cannot name because of the sensitivity this article, said the decision she took to return to his country well knowing it had already been attacked by Covid-19 was probably the worst decision he ever took in life. “After receiving the advice that we leave Uganda, I did think twice. Now Uganda is safer than USA. It is probably the worst decision that I ever took in my life. I regret it because here in the USA, you even fear the person you stay with in the house because you don’t know whether they are infected or not,” she said.

Another gentleman who returned to the USA for fear of catching Covid-19 in Uganda said in an email he sent: “I failed to control fear, which made me to rush back home alongside others. Our friends who decided to stay in Uganda are much better. I think that our government has learnt a lesson and in future they will advise American citizens better when such pandemics break out.”

Yet another American who left Uganda due to the fear of catching Covid-19 responded via Whatsapp: “A few weeks after arriving in USA, I realised I made a big mistake by leaving Uganda. Now WHO statistics show Uganda is doing better in the management of the disease than USA. I think what governments can do when such pandemics break out is to cooperate and see how their citizens can stay safe while abroad than evacuating them. Look at what is happening in USA. We thought we had the best health system. Now Covid-19 has exposed us. I miss Uganda and Ugandans.”

President Yoweri Museveni on Tuesday while addressing the nation on Covid-19 praised Uganda’s health personnel for the efforts put in place to fight the pandemic and encouraged the medics to remain committed, despite a few challenges he said government was working on to boost management of the pandemic.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
