Washington approves virus drug as US states ease lockdowns

American authorities have approved an experimental drug for emergency use on coronavirus patients, as more US states eased pandemic lockdowns despite another spike in deaths from the disease. The approval is the latest step in a global push to find viable treatments and a vaccine for the coronavirus, which has left half of humanity under some form of lockdown, hammered the world economy and infected more than 3.3 million people. Remdesivir, an antiviral drug initially developed to treat Ebola, was given the green light on Friday after a major trial found that it boosted recovery in serious COVID-19 patients. "It's really a very promising situation," President Donald Trump said on Friday at the White House, where he was joined by Daniel O'Day, CEO of Gilead Sciences, which developed Remdesivir. The drug incorporates itself into the virus's genome, short-circuiting its replication process. Its approval came as the US leaders struggled with growing...

Tears for Amama

Tears for Amama I know why my tears run down my face now; I know what tears they are that speed down my jaws. For one of the names of great weight now needs a grave And a shelf in the museum of our political archives. For let’s face it: When a large tree finally fatally falls, Its thundering thud thickly thumps the earth; We all feel its vibration. Our bodies vibrate. Our breasts wiggle.

How horrible it now sounds In the ears of its ex-ardent admirers! How abominable it now is abused From the mouths of its ex-praise singers! But clever man of Kinkyizi, Formerly mistaken for clever brain of ...

KENYA ELECTIONS: The Outcome, the DNA of Uganda's Sustainability

As Kenya, East Africa's arguably best economy heads for presidential polls on tuesday, I find it imperative that I try to squeeze juice out of this sacred election. I know most of you, just like me, have so many rhetorical expectations from this mighty election, but most sacredly are the questions that preoccupy our minds as to how the political show down will go in our neighbourhood. Most importantly, everyone is asking himself the question: 'What does the Harambe election mean to us as a country?. As I allow you to ponder on the connotative underpinnings of this election unto us, allow me first delve us onto the historical perspective and its alliterative explanatory shaping of Kenya's politics. In 1895, Kenya became a Protectorate under the colonial york of the British. Just like it was in Uganda and many African countries in Africa, if not all, so was it in Kenya, that the master, accruing from the cartoon number of administrators on the continent and ...
