The other day I wrote about an economic blueprint for Somalia. Tonight I present Korea's excellent infectious disease mitigation strategies. The Koreans learnt from the MERS outbreak a few years ago. Let's hope Somalis can learn from this pandemic to put systems in place for the future. Key points: A centralised coordinated response with regional branches. This was provided by the Korea Centre for Disease Control. Testing, testing, testing. Korea tests 15,000 people a day. They've also set up drive-through testing booths. The ability to also analyse all these results efficiently. The ability to manufacture testing kits rapidly in the country. Very important. Rigorous contact tracing and quarantining. Stratifying positive cases based on severity: the high-risk patients with underlying health conditions are hospitalised, those with mild/moderate symptoms are kept in re-purposed public spaces where they are closely observed and isolated, those with the mildest symptoms allowed to self isolate at home. They receive a call twice a day to ensure they are sticking to their self isolation and to track their condition. This patient stratification prevents hospitals being overwhelmed. Those who recover are released after two negative tests. General nationwide social distancing. Large gatherings and events cancelled, the religiously observant advised to pray at home. So far the above measures seem to be working very well for Korea. It only reported 74 new cases today and the total death rate is 75. All this without needing to resort to draconian lockdowns.

Never seen a list of Cabasho that long before. That was one cabasho for each year of its existence.

Oodweyne, Things are not looking good for the Prince. He chose "better be feared than loved", but 1. In Israel Bibi's chances are narrowing, Gantz has been asked to form government ahead/before Netanyahoo. To add insult to injury the deciding group/party is the Arab joint list. 2. In America Trump's chances are also shakey already. DOW what Trump kept bragging every campaign lost 3,000 just today and Trump people are already going DOW who? 3. Erdogan and Qatar who survived the assault are recovering at wrong time for the Prince.

Waar Gooni, maahmaahdaas wax rag loola yimaado maha. Dumar ayaa ku dhex kortay ayaan filayaa. Waar nimanka reer Koonfurka ah dhaqan biis weeyan. Nin wayn oo Garoowe maahmaah aad u xun ku hadlaayay waa maqlaayay. Awoowe Dhaqan 101 in lagu bilaabo waa istaahisha runtii. Odeygii Cali Daacuun ayaa si waadix ah u seefseefay shirka Garoowe. Wuxu yidhi waa madhalays. Rag ay ku soo oodantay siyaasaddii oo jid ay u baxaan la ayaa meesha ka cabanaayay sida Ahmed Karaash yidhi "Shirku waa Cabasho"
