Science isn't a democracy where the opinions of ignorant people are equal to knowledge of experts. #climatechange is real whatever the fossil fuel companies and deniers say. Isaac Asimov had it right even in 1980, and not just for the United States

@dkuhenga Safi sana

@DocFaustine This is an excellent starting point for a proper diagnosis of Typhoid and UTI in our country

Studies in Tanzania have shown: In children, 70% of fevers are viral origin. Malaria cases were 10.5%, UTI 5.9% and Typhoid 3.7%. In adults, 61% were of viral origin. Malaria, UTI and Typhoid were 4.7%, 4.0% and 4.4% respectively. More proof to over-duagnosis of Typhoid and UTI.
