This lock down can we achieve our aim ?If we able to achieve fifty percent it mighty be the intervention of the Most high .Information to the lowerest person is not achieved .Some now wants to be fed because some valuables are being fed other wise they will allow themselves to infected .Some media just criticizing the forces and there by making our forces to relax some .People going out without mask at least that one could have reduce transmission .If can achieve 90% then we have to understand why the lock down and work together .If we get into thousands our facilities may not be able to admit everybody .Then when we get there there will be consideration who should live and who should die .In Europe the aged are sometimes are left to die while they attend to the youth but in Africa it will be the opposite .So let advice the youth who are coming out ,they can be infected or can be a carrier .
Where is Sammy awuku, the "praise and worship" leader? We told him it was early days yet as he praised nana to the skies when Ghana's case count was below 90! We told him it was a matter of time before a spike as is typical with all countries but he was adamant the low case count at that time was due to nana acting 'early and decisively"! So what as accounted for the over 100% increase since then? It is sad and pathetic that people are making political capital out of this. This is a pandemic in which no nation wins alone less to talk of an individual solving it alone!
The number adding up will definitely happen due to the contact tracing so please stay home to avoid the spreading.Thank you
The storyline does not match the heading. You claim 73 new cases have been recorded and you will not tell us how the 73 new cases that we did not know about were recorded and from where. You are rather talking about what we know already and repeating yourself. The reporter should learn to communicate his/her information to the public with less ambiguity. Thanks!!!
Nanado Virus is killing us.
How many tests have we conducted so far?
Things are falling apart, Ooooooo Lord help us
