As of 22 April, Uganda has 61 confirmed cases of COVID-19. 41 have recovered,…

Of course, there are many impacts of the Coronavirus, and Uganda is no exception.
As of evening on 25 Mar, there were 14 documented cases of COVID-19 in Uganda. So the president closed public transport for two weeks. This effectively stops work unless you have personal transport, and that is restricted to…

I also have a lot of coffee. Thanks be to God.

Digressions and names
