Have we come to end of Covid-19? My upcountry visit suggests so

Last week I became a laughing stock for wearing a mask in the countryside. I was told corona was over and that wearing a mask “ni kujifanya mtu wa Nairobi” (acting such a Nairobian). On the streets in the same place, I was viewed with suspicion for wearing a mask. 

As suddenly as it came, Kenyans seem to believe Covid-19 is gone. Never mind that headlines from other parts of the world are saying something different.
