100 days of coronavirus: We have an obligation to the right thing to save lives

Today marks 100 days since the reality of the novel coronavirus hit Kenyans. A hundred days ago, the first case was announced in Nairobi, and since then, another 4,373 people have tested positive for the disease.

Although 1,550 of these have recovered, the country has been taken through a crash course on dealing with a pandemic, which has claimed 119 lives. There are hard lessons learnt and hard decisions to be made. And there are other very critical decisions that have taken too long to be made by policy makers.
