Kenyan leaders should set a better example in the fight against covid-19

Since a 1960s experiment by Albert Mehrabian, it has been observed that spoken communication is 7% verbal. The remaining 93 out of 100 is assigned to non-verbal communication. It is easy to say one thing, while your body posture means the opposite.

I was reminded of this overly used communication reference this weekend when a seemingly overweight lady tripped and fell as she hurriedly walked past a traffic intersection. It was the turn for my lane to be stationary, and my right foot heavily rested on the brake pedal, although I had already engaged the parking gear. As she clutched at her knee, the doctor in me knew she must have suffered some grazes over her kneecap, already laid bare by the ripped jeans that she wore.
